Rooms were a large size and comfortable. Breakfast was a buffet style and provided a lot of choice for the customer.

Only a few niggles for us: - after requesting alternative milk for our stay, which the receptionist told us had been done, the restaurant didn’t know anything about it. - Booked the restaurant for dinner and told that they hadn’t booked us in upstairs at all. They had booked us downstairs in the bistro which I hadn’t requested. - Sometimes people could be quite noisy outside and down the corridors during unsociable hours. It didn’t bother myself but it did the older members of our party who were unable to sleep well because of the noise.

All staff was very helpful throughout the booking and the stay, the rooms are fabulous and price was very reasonable for the start of the Easter holidays. This is our second stay with my 8 year old son he loves it as with the dome right beside the hotel there is loads for them to do..Great locations with carlow Town only being a few minutes drives away. Breakfast was lovely and bar staff really nice and friendly and good with the children we had brought.

Nothing. Our stay was really pleasant

Dinner and breakfast were lovely above expectations. room was lovely, clean and spacious. there was a big function on and we slept soundly as the reception lady had put us up on the 3rd floor so we wouldn't be bothered.

I had booked a room for 3 adults. There was a third bed put in which was great but the matress was not the same as the main ones and I felt a bit cheated to have a lesser quality matress than my mother and sister.

We like everything about it - the ambience, staff and facilities were amazing. The breakfast was good and generous 😋.

The fact the we couldn't get more bottles of water after the first night. We were asked to pay if we wanted more 🤔. We had to resort to drinking from the tap or buying from outside.

Hotel was lovely rooms were perfectly comfortable and clean food was very good all in all was good weekend

Prices were a bit dear .lack of bar staff was evident in main bar areas. Need for having small nacks behind bar like taytos and nuts and chocolate where people don't have to go to vending machine
