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. When I asked the person at reception about it she assured me that the room is a non smoking room but that the hotel couldn't control who may have been in the room smoking... more

Recently returned to Horse & Jockey Hotel for another stay after been seriousely impressed the last time. This time was even better as I had more time to sample the amazing coffee dock with its excellent sandwiches, mouthwatering cakes and really good coffee.

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

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

Had a great week. Great food, excellent leisure centre, swimming pool and gym. State-of-the-art conference rooms. Wireless broadband in all bedrooms. Highly recommended. more
