    Some of the decor was quite twee in places- like the faux heraldic coats of armour. But you can embrace that- you are staying in a castle after all!

    An amazing hotel in a beautiful location- the walk by the lake was particularly nice. The food was great (make sure to leave room for pudding!) and the spa facilities good. Better than the photos.

    Nothing, we didn't want to leave!

    The hotel itself was beautiful but what made it stand out were the staff, they were exceptional and couldn't do enough to help. The 8 course tasting menu with wine in the restaurant was a wonderful experience, would absolutely recommend along with the fabulous staff in the spa.. I'm sorry I can't remember all the staff names but Jacko, Andrea, Mohammed and Raphael were so attentive and made us feel like special guests. We will definitely be back

    A great stay & experience was let down at the very end by the poor conduct of the receptionist at checkout. There was no smile or simple "good morning" or even checking by asking if we had enjoyed our stay or pleasantries when we were leaving, like hope you have a good day or hope to see you again. Instead we were just asked for our room number and set down our bill, which we paid and then left. Simply shocking standard for someone at front of house - especially in a hotel of this standard. A great stay let down at the end.

    Great hotel in a wonderful setting. A warm welcome at reception was given. The food was exceptional, with wonderful staff both in the restaurant and bar.

    Spa: while the treatment itself was superb, the spa was missing a little touches that most spas offer such as infused water, little snacks, and you had to ask for extra towels. The thermal suite is not worth the cost to get in, but if you are getting a treatment it is free. Note, when we were there more than half of the jets in the thermal spa (spa treatment section) were not working. Room: the carpet needed upgrading because it looked original and was stained. For this type (cost) of facility, they should offer either a Keurig or Nespresso machine not just your basic water and freeze dried coffee.

    Staff was exceptional. Spa treatment was great. Morning breakfast was very good

    We had the nicest stay in this hotel. The food in the Douglas Hyrde restaurant was simply fantastic . One of the waiters Jaco (a south African guy ) was very nice , great conversation and very funny . The Thermal suite is fantastic . We did the therapy baths and found it so relaxing and detoxing. Rachel was so helpful and nice to deal with there . A very kind a d sweat lady called Mary dealt with is for breakfast and was very welcoming . Cocktails in the Dungeon bar were great . We did a tour of the Drumshambo Gunpowder Gin distillery (The Shed) which we thought was brilliant and excellent value for money . Forest park in Boyle is about 20 mins away and also good for daytime stroll/activity. The rooms were really clean and all the decor around the hotel was fresh and not at all jaded We will be going back again very soon.
