“Perfect hotel for a weekend of relaxation!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012 via mobile

A great hotel made for a fantastic weekend away from home. Fast, efficient, welcoming check-in set the scene. Despite being fully booked, the staff bent over backwards to get us a slot at the Linden Restaurant where food and service were also great and good value. We used the pool, gym, spa and walked in the hotel grounds, and all were terrific. A perfect weekend break and we will definitely be back.

“Can't wait to go back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012 via mobile

Wished we stayed longer, went to the Carton last week with my husband and my two year old. We stayed in the summer suite, It was amazing .Enjoyed the walks around the ground, spa and leisure centre were the business.
This hotel should be a five star.

“A lovely Break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We went here on our first outing with our new baby - 10 weeks for two nights B&B and one evening dinner for €300. The staff were extremly friendly from the word go and they provided us with a lovely big room with no extra cost for a cot (Take Note Dromoland Castle). The walks on the grounds are lovely and you can avail of a golf lesson at the GUI golfing headquarters located nearby. The golf courses are very good without being excellent and my wife was very impressed with the spa.
Its pricey though - which is disappoiting. Pintof Guinness for €5, Apple crumble for €8.50, club Sandwich for €15. It all adds up.
Its also 15 minutes from anywhere by car if you are travelling and want to see some authentic irish night life in nearby Maynooth or Celbidge. But if you want to relax and unwind and go nowhere- this is certainly worth a visit.

“Wonderful venue for Christening celebration!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

After having many wonderful stays in Carton. Our daughter and her partner decided to have their daughters Christening party at Carton. We had never had a function there before, so we weren't sure what to expect. I can sincerely say that we were abosolutely delighted with every aspect of the occasion. Samantha Costello from the events team was a great help in the planning stage and was very helpful in organising a special meal for a guest with a gluten allergy. Then on the day Lucas and Heather were very attentive to everyones needs. We had the Christening party in the Gold Saloon and I would certainly recommend hiring this room for your family parties. It is such a beautiful room and it certainly has the wow factor! The staff had put candles all over the room and it was so beautiful. Also, the fires were lit in the Gold room and in the Mallaghan room , where we had the pre lunch drinks.

Everyone at the Christening was blown away with the room, the hotel, the staff and the beautiful food that was served. Many of the guests have said they would have a future family party there.

I really cant compliment Carton enough! Thanks so much for making the day so special for everyone. If you have an occasion of any kind here, you wont be dissappointed!

Dear IrelandShelly,

Many thanks for taking the time to review our hotel on Tripadvisor.

I am delighted to see that you had such a positive experience with us on what was a special occasion for you and your family. The ambience of the old house really does make the dining experience that bit extra special and we always receive such positive feedback on how unique it is. The Gold Salon with its deeply coved ceiling featuring Baroque plasterwork by the Francini brothers has often been described as the most beautiful room in Ireland and is a stunning setting for private dining events.

I have passed your kind comments onto Samantha, Luckas, Heather and all of the team who are delighted that you and your family had such an enjoyable experience.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family back to Carton House in the near future.

Kind regards,

Brian Bowler
