The hotel is very nice, the breakfast is quite good and the rooms are comfortable. It’s a good place to stop for a night close to the Rock of Cashel. The hotel facilities were nice but you’ll need to drive to get anywhere else. All in all I’d highly recommend.

Lovely stay.

On a road trip and this was my favourite stop. This hotel is beautiful, reasonably priced and super comfortable. Best sleep I had the entire week of different hotels. Restaurants on site and food was excellent. Highly recommend.

All aspects of the hotel are excellent What stood out for us on out recent visit was the attitude and standards of all the staff. The accommodation is a very good standard with excellent gym, pool and spa facilities. The breakfast was also excellent. The coffee lounge was well used, and provided us with a lovely luncheon box on for our visit to the airport. The charming, friendly and very hard working staff everywhere added so much to our impressions and experience. We will revisit, and recommend to others.

Hotel staff are so lovely, definitely made our stay better. Beds are quite big in the twin rooms. Could do with better pillows though. Would definitely stay here again.

Poor service in restaurant

I stayed for two nights first was good but on second discovered steam room was out of water and not functioning and when I went for dinner at 7.20 I ordered lamb cutlets two other couples came in had steak and were all served and at 8.30 I asked about my order and the waiter said you’re lamb? Maybe you could try the curry I responded if I’d have wanted curry I’d had ordered it! I gave up at 8.40 paid for my drink at bar and told bar staff I was leaving as 1 hr 20mins was not acceptable so went to bed angry and hungry after a hard days work!
