Had lunch on the terrace on a day of amazing sunshine. The menu promises more than the food delivers. Teriyaki Salmon 'with rice sushi roll' is served with chips instead of the sushi roll (removing any hint of a Japanese style dish). The 'thai green curry' was bland, and as far removed from the actual taste of an authentic Thai... More

I loved our stay, the staff were really helpful, obliging and kind. The spa was lovely with the feature being the hot tub hotdogs overlooking quiet river, even in Jan it was lovely. It's a short walk to Ballina town which is worth a visit. The food was good, not amazing but good all the same. The breakfast was very... More

My girlfriend and I stayed for 2 nights over the weekend with a spa and dine package. After travelling from Dublin we were greeted by a warm and friendly receptionist, and within 2 minutes were on our way to our room. We were in the new part of the hotel, which has floor to ceiling sliding windows overlooking the river.... More

We stayed the weekend before Valentines. Check in was lovely and relaxing - the girls on reception are really lovely and friendly. Had a glass of bubbly in the room off the reception area. Got our key for the Rose room but then they changed us to a room on the bottom floor - don't know why. The room was... More

We stayed for 1 night at the ice house recently and enjoyed our stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is modern and very nicely decorated. The bedrooms have a beautiful view onto the river. We had a double room with an extremely comfortable bed. Unfortunately there was no bath in the ensuite but there was... More

Stayed for 2 nights combined hotel/spa break. Nice big modern bedroom overlooking river. Restaurant and bar are good. Spa was comfortable. Staff all over were nice, helpful and very friendly - would stop and chat about the area and themselves. We were there at a slack time and it looked as if they had cut back a bit on staff... More

We booked a standard room, probably had the best view of any hotel I have stayed in, although the room itself was very nice it was... More

We booked the hotel for one night as I had been given a Blue Book voucher by my colleagues when I left work and the Ice House appealed to us as it looked that little bit unique. When we arrived we we very warmly greeted by the receptionist and immediately advised that we had been upgraded to a suite. We... More

We visited the Ice House for a special occassion recently and enjoyed our night here! The food in the restaurant was excellent and definately worth the money! Our room was lovely and overlooking the river and we even got some sparkling wine and strawberries for our anniversary (nice touch). The staff were very nice and the service was excellent. The...
