Room, perfect! Had a corner room on the second floor overlooking the courtyard. Spacious room, huge bathroom, and comfy bed (so comfy in fact we slept through our initial alarms!). Staff were incredibly helpful and kind, they really made our toddler feel welcomed and loved. No need to leave as food, relaxation, spa, entertainment, etc is all onsite! We'll definitely be back, according to my wife our 10 year anniversary will be spent at the Lough Eske Castle!

Service from bar, restaurants, reception and door staff couldn’t be faulted. The restaurants had Suberin food at sensible prices. Many bars to choose from each with their own atmosphere. The grounds were well maintained and lively walks to be had. Just one tiny thing but, please put everyday tea bags in rooms and replenish daily. Had to ring for tea bags every day. However, would go back in a heartbeat and we will

Recently stayed here 1st time 2 nights. Not really centrally located must take several dark roads many filled with potholes and some unsafe road conditions to drive back-and-forth to the center of town were the pubs and restaurants are. Had to take a taxi back-and-forth to town even though it's less than three or 4 miles they charge you $15 euro each way which comes out of 17 or 18 American US Cleanliness of the room needed a lot to be desired rug was dirty and they didn't refill the soaps or things that were necessary. After my first night things were not replenished they charged a fortune to have my laundry done almost 3, American dollars to wash a pair of underwear and shirt you up to $ 5. Staff in the breakfast we're probably one of the best, the hostess, especially she got it !!! the front desk staff seem to be not experienced, and management didn't seem to be able to watch over them , when you called from your room with simple requests , the phone rang and rang unanswered and rang and rang. . Over priced with construction going on during my stay, even though they said, there wouldn't be see the pictures, also even though the parking was convenient and I believe free, still you had to lug your own luggage across the field and stone patios to get to your car not worth it stay in town if you can.
