    Prices in the bar were a bit steep Hard to think of any other fault .

    The best by far was the service, friendliness and attention to detail. The open fires really made it special. I would come back just for those.

    We were going into kenmare town to eat that evening but we wanted a drink in the bar before hand, we found the bartender with the handlebar moustache was very cold with us, we tried to make conversation but he didn't really want to know and made that quite clear. The bar was almost empty bar 2 other guests, so he wasnt busy. we go away to enjoy ourselves and meet people and we felt very uncomfortable with this gentleman. Sean the porter saved the day by dropping us into kenmare and we had such a great conversation with him. The breakfast staff were amazing and so so kind and friendly. I too work in a 5 star hotel I can tell you now the staff will always make the experience memorable. Beautiful location. We will be back please god😀

    When we arrived we were greeted by Nicole and her colleague on reception. Nicole was very welcoming and friendly and her colleague who's name I don't know my apologies, offered us a hot drink with it being so old outside that was a great start.

    Wouldn't recommend falls restaurant for dinner. Very over priced. Ridiculously tiny food portions. Led to believe that most restaurants in town would be closed , so encouraged to book hotel restaurant. 40 euro penalty per person if we cancelled. Not worth the money at all.

    Just some small items . I would stay again however I taught the drink served was poor. For example the pints of Guinness and beer was poor. I think it is the detergents used to clean the glasses. There is loose flooring in the swimming pool area that looks a bit shabby. Its the small details that people notice.

    Overall third time to stay. Great hotel and nice and warm. Staff very polite and good service. Will stay again.

    They have horses in the hotel for offering the guests horse riding activities, we went to visit the stables and it was very sad for us to see that they have them in extremely small boxes. They can barley move in there. I have worked with horses my whole life and that is definitely not the right place to keep them, each horse should have at least 3 times the space they offer them. To see this was a really big stain in what otherwise would have been a perfect place. Is the only reason we dont give it a 10.

    It is such a beautiful and charmful place, you can really disconnect from the world in it. It is directly next to a beautiful river with a small waterfall, our room had a view to it, you feel like in a fantasy movie most of the time. Where ever you turn you see stunning natural beauty Staff was very kind as well, an amazing place.
