My sisters and I were lucky enough to spend two wonderful nights at the beautiful St. Clerans Manor House last week. We were in Ireland for only a week so our stay at St. Clerans was far briefer than we would have liked but we all agreed that the hotel was perfect. Because we were there during the off-season, we were the only ones there one afternoon. This gave us the opportunity to get a guided tour of all the rooms! Wow. Each is perfect in it's own way with every tiny detail seen to. We stayed in the Chamberlain Suite, since there were three of us, and loved it, but the other rooms were also wonderful. The staff was great, letting us feel totally at home. The breakfasts were fabulous and we loved the special dinner there also. The grounds were magnificent and we were even lucky with perfect weather! I would recommend (and have already done so) St. Clerans to anyone who wants a special, one of a kind, Irish experience. It is clear to see that Merv Griffin really loved this place. His attention to loving details is evident throughout. Paradise.

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights, one of which happened to be Valentine's night.

The house itslef and the rooms are absolutely stunning and faultless. We were very fortunate to be staying in the Griffin suite, which, from what I gather, is the master suite of the house.

The staff were extremely attentive and efficient. I really cannot add anymore to what other reviewers have written.

The restaurant is a beautiful room. Breakfast was amazing, however, when it came to dinner, I've had better meals for less money. The food wasn't poor or anything like that. The food was good, but I would have expected something with a bit more of an edge.

It's the small things which knocked the shine off of St Cleran's halo for us. Things like, candles in the bedroom, but no matches with which to light them. A welcome letter from the management addressed to Mr & Mrs X. A bit presumptious given that we are two men and I'm not so sure that it is generally a good idea to assume that your guests are all Mr & Mrs. Afterall, they may be Mr & Mistress, or otherwise. The letter left a bit of a bad taste, I must admit and resulted in my checking out without leaving a gratuity for the staff, and having calmed down, something I regret doing. So apologies to Ken and Co..

I must stress again that on the whole we had a great stay at St Clerans. The photographs of the rooms on their website do not do them justice. They are all magnificent and expertly and sumptuously decorated. If you are going to be anywhere near Craughwell, may I suggest you stop by......you won't regret it.

I visited St Clerans for a weekend break with my girlfriend. We were both very tired and a little stressed out from work. We were initially worried that it might be a bit too stuffy for us being a manor house hotel- we couldn't have been more wrong.

St Clerans is an exceptional property. It is first and foremost a beautiful house. On arrival the staff make you feel immediately welcome. They are all very warm and accommodating.

We were brought up to our suite. the best in the house, above the drawing room in the old house. It was impressively large. The bed was fantastic. It had all the amenities that one would expect and more, including a huge bathtub which was Huston's private tub. The bathroom is a wonderful size (similar in size to some hotel rooms) and the dressing room was a great addition.

The food was excellent- the Japanese chef Kuma cooked up a treat each evening. No request was too large for the accommodating staff. They have an excellent masseuse on site and horse riding was very good fun.

I have stayed in some of the world's finest hotels and St Clerans certainly stands proudly and deservedly among the best.

Just fantastic - I stayed there just once, and had dinner there too, and it was beautiful - so peaceful, just perfect.

The rooms were amazing - like staying in your own private island of luxury. Breakfasts are amazing and the dinners are out of this world.

The hotel staff were perfect - they even arranged horse riding with a local trainer - Tom McNamara who raises Irish sport horses - we had a fantastic day out.

Well done and keep up the good work!
