“Very disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

Very disappointing. Our room was very shabby and worn and smelled musty. The window didn't close properly and the window vent was stuffed with toilet roll! I gather the hotel was full to capacity. Breakfast was bedlam, tables weren't cleared from previous guests. We were finished our breakfast when the tea and coffee arrived. The staff did their best but were clearly under pressure.

“Needs a lot of work”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Staff are friendly but the hotel is very outdated and run down. Can be very cold in parts & very quiet during low season. Rooms are spacious but very basic. Leisure centre is lovely.

“Rooms were awful”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

We booked in over the Christmas week for two nights.

When we arrived the hotel seemed lovely set on beautiful grounds and nice foyer.
But when we walked to the room, the decor deteriorated as we got closer to the actual room and when we arrive at the room, it was a disgrace, there was wallpaper hanging off the walls and it was very cold.

My wife went down to reception and asked if they could do anything and the girl gave us another room but she was very unapologetic and dismissive about it.

The next room was a little better but after we had settled in for the evening, we noticed blue mould on a wall behind the TV, by this stage we had enough of moving around and decided to make do.

I moved the TV to the middle of the room and avoided that area.

The rooms were of poor decor and there were old CRT tvs in the room.

I would hope that the rooms are given a complete makeover before recommending this hotel.

Room Tip: Ask for a really nice room and double check it all first before committing to staying in that room.

“enjoyable eperience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

My Fiancee and myself get a 2 nights deal via groupon and I must say I had a great time.

Food was good and the spa was amazing.

Room was very warm, but that was a good thing. Very large room with great facilities. Hair dryer, iron etc.

previous posters have said about flaking paint etc, but there are ongoing fixes happening to these and are pointed out with signage.

Very pleasant staff all round. Would go again.

only down point, wifi was patchy in room.

Dear Joanne G,

Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Breaffy House Resort. Shauna our Spa manager tells me that the mud chamber is very popular with couples as well as groups of four. You could defiantly spend a whole day in the spa, it is that relaxing.

Thanks again for your comments and I hope to see you back at the Resort very soon.

Kind regards,

Wilson Bird
