“Not for New Years's Eve”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
8
people found this review helpful

We booked for New Year's eve, having stayed in Galway City centre the previous night. The receptionist was very welcoming and managed that perfect combination of homeliness and 5* service from the moment we entered the hotel. Our room was old-fashioned luxury as were the various resident lounges.
We had booked dinner in town and having enquired about entertainment for the turn of the year we returned to the hotel around 10.30........ Major mistake. The "entertainment" showed up at 11.30. A gentleman who appeared to have retired from Butlins some years ago, set up his electric organ and would probably have been run out of your average village bar after he began to warble! The barman, obviously embarassed, suggested we might gatecrash a private party in the hotel function room but we thanked him and declined. We celebrated the new year watching tv in our room.
Can't comment on breakfast as we checked out rather disgusted the next morning without eating.

“Wonderful anniversary stay with excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

We stayed late August for our anniversary. Staff was absolutely WONDERFUL and made us feel very welcome. Our room was a large king bed room with a great view of the grounds. We loved having tea in our room and looking out the window....felt like we were in our own manor house. Breakfast was a large buffet plus an to order menu and tasted great. There were nice rooms off the lobby filled with antiques to sit and read the paper in and tables outside. We had two nights but would have liked longer. We enjoyed being out of the city however it was a drive to get to the tourist places in Galway that we wanted to visit from the hotel. Truly enjoyable stay...would love to return.

“Lovely stay and very friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

I stayed at this hotel for a weekend in October with my girlfriend. We found the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Very relaxed atmosphere. On arrival we had afternoon tea which was very enjoyable. Our room and bed were huge. I can not say enough good things with regards the breakfast. Reasonably close to Galway city. About €10 in a taxi.

“The Staff is great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

From the moment we got there our stay was great! The staff greeted us at the door , we were late checking in and really seems happy to see us and knew we arrived safe. The travel agent made a mistake about the type of rooms needed but the reception staff quickly took care of the problem. The food and service was truly 5 star. The property is beautiful.
