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.

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.

This hotel is stunning and I was lucky enought to spend 2 nights here on a business course. Everything about the hotel is divine, from the food to the rooms. The hotel staff are amazingly friendly and helpful and everything is done so efficiently.

I would have no doubts about returning to this lovely hotel for business or lesiure again.

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!
