Stayed here for two nights for my husbands birthday. Beautiful hotel and beautiful decor. The food in all of the restaurants was exceptional. The staff were all excellent. The bed was very comfortable. Having elemis products in the bathroom was a nice touch. Nespresso machine in the bedroom is always appreciated.

The bathroom was dated and is due a makeover. The hotel could easily refurbish the bathroom/s and keep it in the style of an old property but certainly it was a tad bit rough around the edges. Leaking sink tap which constantly dripped. Counter tops dated and chipped. Shower head needed replaced as the water did not disperse evenly.

The breakfast was delightful and spa was beautiful

Room floor was slightly dirty. Picked up a few bits off the floor and put in bin. The jets in the bath wernt working which was a disappointment.

The setting of this hotel is wonderful and beautiful, our room was verycomfortable and quiet. We had dinner in the dining room and the food was delicious. The service was excellent.

The room came with a free breakfast. The line was so long waiting for a table that we didn't wait and left without eating, which was unfortunate. If they had opened up the other dining area, which was adjacent to the breakfast area, I don't think there would have been a line. I realize there may have been a wait due to staffing, but at least people could have been seated.

It's just wow. The place is full of history. Starting from the hall where you are greeted by a large table, paintings and a huge chandelier, the restaurant with a sultry atmosphere, the drawing room with a beautiful fireplace. Our room was charming. I felt like a princess in it. The bed is comfortable. The window opened to a wonderful view of the lake. Huge ceilings in the room and in the bathroom. The temperature is adjustable, we were not cold. On the lower floor there is a swimming pool, two saunas and a jacuzzi. The only minus is that the jacuzzi smelled so much that it was impossible to stay there for more than two minutes. And my eyes remained red for a long time after the jacuzzi. There were too many adults with children in the pool and this made it very noisy and there was not much space. There is no small pool for children. The food in the restaurant is delicious, but not to my taste, but my husband liked it. I recommend everyone to come here at least once.

But be prepared that you will be without internet for the duration of your vacation. Wi-Fi did not work at all.

Although I booked it the stay was for my wife and daughter, a girls road trip. They stayed for two nights in all and absolutely loved it. Their room was incredibly spacious and well appointed with lovely views over to the lake. On the first night they had the 8 course taster which was amazing, as too we're the breakfasts. They also enjoyed walking around the grounds and the lovely atmosphere of the hotel, kind of routed in tradition but very modern in what it offered at the same time. They also said all the people who worked there were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. To be honest my wife hasn't stopped talking about her stay since she got home, perhaps I'm just a bit jealous.

Not a peep about anything, says it all ....

The Family suite was beautifully decorated and the bathroom too. It was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We dined in the Douglas Hyde restaurant and the staff were exceptional and attentive, I loved the personal touch from the chef who sent out a Happy birthday plate with some chocolates for my son. We ordered breakfast in the bedroom which the kids requested and it was a fabulous spread with great choice to suit all tastes.The grounds were beautiful and a great place for walking and easily accessible to neighbouring towns like Sligo where we spent an evening ice skating. Lastly my children were so impressed with the Christmas decorations overall a great experience and we will definitely be making a return trip.

Nothing

The food was really good. Anne o’rouke…. The lady we met at breakfast was a fantastic. Such a lovely person and knowledgeable person. Great asset to the premises.

Given room with a small heater and quite a strange layout, room 112. Got the impression that heating wasn’t working in the room. But it was….. later understood why there was a heater there. Changed rooms to 115. Better layout and more up to date. Turned heating on at 3:30 it was 19 degrees…. Left it on all night and it was 22.6 by the next day….. extremely slow…. Can only imagine what the other room was reading if it needed an extra heater. Staff were very sombre, very few smiles, the lovely young lady In The drawing room who seemed to be the manager there was so nice, very pretty and a great bonus to the castle. She was a local girl I think.

This hotel was the highlight of my trip ! ... From the minute we walked in we were welcomed by amazing lady on Reception (I think called Maria) ... She personally took us to show us where everything was and saw us to the lift. I mentioned in passing that I had sadly been unable to get anything booked in at the Spa and she promised she would sort it and get the spa to call me..... Which they did within 10 minutes and arranged a slot for me. The Castle is STUNNING !! ... The Drawing Room (which is casual dining) is stunning and you are made to feel like you are the priority even when they are busy. Dungeon bar was great and took our drinks through to the Library and sat by the open fire .. honestly it was 1000% worth the cost. I would not normally spend this much on a room but it was such a special experience I would highly recommend to anyone wanting something special ! The grounds are stunning, we did a short walk around as it was freezing outside but there are lots of trails. Breakfast was great and very well organised. Yes is was expensive .. around £16 for a cocktail, but so worth it for a WOW experience.

Literally nothing ! ... 100% recommend

Had a whole day spa experience, which was amazing. Ashley was professional, experienced and confident in all her treatments Thank you very much Mary ☘️

Food in Douglas Hyde, very cordon blue, almost too much, and a very nice gentleman who explained every dish (I think) but didn't really understand a word he said, spoke too quickly and incoherently. For my spa day I was told to choose something on the starter menu around 15 euro. I chose the crab claws, which were 16 euro and they charged me the extra euro. Considering I spent 400 euro in the spa I thought it was a bit petty.

The hotel decor, staff, spa, grounds, bar(s), and facilities were all excellent. The casual dining meal was very good and my "rare" steak was cooked and rested perfectly.

The buffet breakfast is a disaster - best to order from the menu, as the eggs were "rubber" and the other items were sitting in a bains marie for a long period of time. The 8-course tasting menu was a bit hit & miss as some of the courses were unrecognizable. The beef in the dish was perfect but the halibut (that me wife had) was over-cooked.
