Booked the Chancellors restaurant one evening, as staying in a cottage nearby for our honeymoon. Wished we hadn't. Food was not fresh and not well executed. The receptionist was the only member of staff there waiter, bar tender etc, wouldnt be surprised if she did the cooking aswell!! It is clear things have substantially changed in the kitchen since Egon... more

Arrived quite late one evening and was delighted with the warm welcome and excellent room (stables) that had been recently renovated. High quality fittings and comfortable bed. Nice big Tv on wall for watching the news. Excellent coffee maker in room with lots of quality coffe choices. Had evening meal as part of deal. THE best fillet steak I have... more

(Our bags were taken up to our room as... more

I stayed here on a long drive back home. I thought the grounds were lovely. The hotel isn't near to anything so if you want peace and quiet then thats what you will get. On arrival we were greeted by the owner who checked us in and then personally showed us to our rooms. So overall a warm welcome. We... more

I have chosen to write this somewhat negative review 6 months after our wedding as my wife and I first wanted to write to the owners of Shieldhill Castle to express our concerns and invite comment back. We received no acknowledgement of our balanced letter which contained thanks for the areas of service we felt were good as well as... more
