Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a vibrant atmosphere with a mix of Irish, European, and American tourists engaging in sing-alongs at the bar led by Brian on the piano. The room was lovely, and the complementary Prosecco reception added a special touch. Despite some rudeness, Brian stood out for his exceptional friendliness. The location was wonderful, offering a delightful stay with sparkling wine and historical insights. The dining experience was a mix of wonderful moments with the owner's personal touch. Some room for improvement was noted in the overcooked breakfast elements. Extras like the country flags on tables added a unique touch to the experience.
Staying at the elegant castle in Ireland was a delightful experience. The rooms were spacious with a gas fire and a king-size bed, providing a very comfortable stay. The service went above and beyond with a champagne reception each evening and delightful Irish tales shared with us. The location was lovely, private, and ideal for exploring other sights. The dining experience was wonderful with flags representing visitors' countries, though a few improvements could be made.
Staying at this hotel was like nothing I had ever experienced before. The beautiful landscape and open gas fireplace in the lobby created a unique atmosphere, though the dining experience fell short with overcooked food. The service was exceptional, making me feel like a cherished family member throughout my stay.
I felt like the rooms were meant to be my own cozy retreat for the night, furnished tastefully and with a spacious feel, even at the level of an outside bar area. The service was top-notch, with incredibly helpful and friendly staff who truly made our stay special. The location couldn't have been better, nestled in the serene and idyllic surroundings of beautiful Connamara, just a short drive from the town center. The dining experience was superb, offering a wide selection of delicious foods and beverages. Overall, a gem of a hotel with fantastic service and a special place to stay.
The hotel offers a clean and comfortable stay with friendly staff in a great location, but the dining experience could be improved with more options. Overall, a pleasant stay with good value for money.
