Elegant Hotel with Great Service at Grand Hotel!

My husband and I took a trip to celebrate a milestone anniversary and stayed for two nights at the K Club in Kildare on our way back to Dublin. We wanted to see more of the beautiful Irish countryside and and Japanese gardens that are part of the Irish National Stud and Gardens and decided to use the K Club as our base to explore the area. We were greeted by a very friendly representative who also told us that our room had been upgraded to one with gorgeous views of the river and countryside. The room was very comfortable and elegant and we also saw that the hotel had acknowledged our anniversary with a small chocolate cake which was a very thoughtful gesture. Breakfast was delicious. There was a small buffet but you could then order more items from an a la carte menu. We ate dinner at the Palmer Restaurant one evening and the South Bar and Restaurant the next and enjoyed the meals at both places. The K Club has a world famous golf course and had just hosted the Irish Open and still had golfers all around their grounds. We explored the extensive hotel and gardens and took lots of pictures. All the staff we met were very personable and helpful and we enjoyed talking to them. We enjoyed our stay here at the K Club. Thank you!
