Avoid if you like sleep and interesting staff

Dreadful night sleep. Bedroom having audible mechanical noise preventing any kind of rest . Staff the following morning couldn’t be less interested . With a promise for investigation and follow up call that never materialised . Better service and facilities expected considering the high room rate they charge . Avoid!

Not great value for money.

It’s genuinely the first hotel I’ve stayed in where you’re charged extra to use the spa facilities. Bedroom isn’t great, certainly not 5 star standard or even 4. Furniture needs to be upgraded badly in the room. We had three rooms for a family 60th and overall we regret the decision to stay as oppose to other options. Probably a personal criticism but the temperature in the hotel is also far too high. Had to leave dinner mid way through for sine air.

Probably the best hotel we've ever stayed in!

From the moment we arrived we were very impressed with this hotel, grounds and surroundings. From the friendly doorman to Dermot the concierge who took our bags, ordered our taxis etc, to the lovely receptionists and that was before we took in the beautiful decor, comfort and layout of bars and restaurants and before we got to our bedroom which was more like a suite as was huge with a lovely view of the estate. The food was excellent and it was lovely to chill in the little bar area at reception where they have a musician at the weekends. The pool area was lovely too and the whole place is spotless. It's rare to find such a place where everything was perfect from start to finish and we can't wait to go back and stay for longer!

A memorable stay

It was a wonderful experience staying at the Lyrath. The gracious and helpful employees, the sublime surroundings, the delicious dinner at the steakhouse and our amazing room made our anniversary very memorable. We hope to be back every time we are home in Ireland visiting family. We absolutely loved our stay.

Possibly one of the most stunning hotels we have stayed in. The Lyrath grounds are gorgeous and only surpassed by the stunning interior courtyard reception area that greets you when you first arrive. Everything from the multiple restaurants to the bar and lounge areas, this place just wraps you in comfort. Keeping with the decor of the lobby, our hotel room was more like a full suite with separate rooms for changing, bathing and sleeping. Heated bathroom floors, a 4 piece ensuite bathroom and even a private toilet room made this all feel first class. We only stayed one night so didn’t have time for spa or a hike around the property but we would make time for these amenities absolutely on a future return. If you get the chance, do stay here and experience luxury. One general comment about not only this hotel but really all the areas we visited in Ireland is that we found the Irish to be wonderful people, kind and attentive, and truly hospitable in all respects. The people here have left a very positive lasting impression on our whole family.
