I was privileged enough to be treated to a stay in the mind-blowingly gorgeous penthouse with Georgian decadence glistening from every corner and I cannot wait until the next time. The communal areas are equally as beautiful and the garden is a haven, even on a chilly September evening. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and I love... More

My wife and I were married at The Step House in a civil ceremony on April 5th, 2012. We then had a BBQ for our guests on the next day, held again at The Step House. On behalf of my wife and I (sic), I can only comment on how wonderful the whole experience was; we had an absolute ball!... More

Just back from a one-night weekend stay, our second visit in less than a year. Hotel is very good indeed - classy, quiet, refined, friendly service, etc. Food in bar is good, breakfast is excellent and the bedrooms with balconies (i.e. outdoor smoking areas) are perfect for a smoker like me... Only negatives were the 1970s TV set-up (offering just... More

This review is based on Sunday lunch or rather the lack of Sunday lunch. Call in for Sunday lunch at 1.45 and was seated at a table close to the bar, so close in fact that when people sat at the bar there was no room for people to pass by without them hitting me. Our order was taken very... More

Dear Colm W, Thank you for taking the time to bring to our attention the service you received on Sunday. We are very sorry that you received such poor service for your Sunday Lunch in our bar 1808. This was an exceptionally busy Sunday Lunch for us with our restaurant also being booked out and a very busy bar trade.... More

Stayed here for a weekend on a voucher deal and am so glad I found it. It was one of the nicest rooms I have ever stayed in - very large and spacious with classic french style cream furniture and french windows that opened onto a large ballustrade! I think it is one of their deluxe rooms but well worth... More

This hotel is beautifully designed. Rooms are large with beautiful views and luxurious bathrooms. We had lunch in the bar, dinner and breakfast in the restaurant all of which were exceptional. The staff are polite, friendly and helpful. Borris itself is a lovely village with lots of lovely walks to enjoy. I will definately return as this is one of... More

we stayed in this hotel to mark a significant occasion. I was really impressed with this hotel which I am now recommending to everyone as a hidden treasure. The rooms are lovely and spacious and our ones both overlooked the pretty little garden. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel. The bar was surprisingly busy for lunch, although... More
