Luxurious stay at excellent Hotel
Arrived in the afternoon and it was raining and were met at the door by a Porter with an umbrella and they unloaded the car and parked it. Room was not quite ready so sat in lounge with fire blazing until it was. Our room in the old stables was lovely, spacious and had excellent modern bathroom. Gardens around the hotel looked beautiful, but as was raining did not get to explore too much. Dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were excellent and staff friendly. I would recommend this hotel

Hidden gem
We had an exceptional stay at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We celebrated our wedding anniversary here, and it was the perfect choice. The hotel itself is stunning and offers a truly relaxing atmosphere. One of the standout experiences was the afternoon tea, which was delightful and complemented perfectly by the spa services. Overall, our time here was superb and exceeded all our expectations. We couldn’t be happier with our stay and highly recommend it for a special occasion or a relaxing getaway.

Very nice stay.
Very nice hotel. We had a garden suite that was few steps away from the main building. The room was nice but one minor complaint, the garden area (patio) was not walled off from neighbors so no privacy. Staff were excellent and the food was very good.

Room, perfect! Had a corner room on the second floor overlooking the courtyard. Spacious room, huge bathroom, and comfy bed (so comfy in fact we slept through our initial alarms!). Staff were incredibly helpful and kind, they really made our toddler feel welcomed and loved. No need to leave as food, relaxation, spa, entertainment, etc is all onsite! We'll definitely be back, according to my wife our 10 year anniversary will be spent at the Lough Eske Castle!
