I was truly taken aback, arrived expecting a pub experience. This hotel is just so much better than I had hoped for, excellent accomodation, first class facilities and the most helpful Staff I have encountered for a long time. I travel a lot in my work spending around 30 weeks a year in hotels, I rate the Horse and Jockey... more

Overall, the hotel was nice. However, we requested a NON SMOKING room but when we arrived in the room it has a smell of stale smoke.

The room smelt fusty and unaired. Just felt the place was a little tired and could do with a good freshen up. However the staff were... more

Myself and my husband plan the occasional weekend away, just the two of us for a bit of "us Time", I have to say the Horse & jockey was an oasis of calm, we arrived late on Friday evening, the restaurant was just closing so we quickly ordered our food, before checking in, it was magnificent, we didn't feel like... more

One of the best hotels I have stayed in. Beautiful decor, complete luxury in the bedrooms,fantastic Pool and leisure centre and really nice friendly staff. My sisters and I spent 2 nights and cannot wait to return. Food was great too. more

The room was fine, clean and everything in order and the food was quite nice. The pool area is pretty good too. But somehow this hotel was a let down. There is nothing to do in the area, apart from the leisure center and it is 10 km outside Thurles town so it feels rather like it was built in... more
