Great hotel with lovely helpful staff.
The Hotel was great, the staff were great. Overall a great experience.
My whole family stayed here with me. We had booked in advance, and it happened to be when there was a very serious storm in Ireland, so we were without power at home, and the hotel had no power, but their generator was working, so they still accepted us, which was great.
Couldn't fault the staff, they were all excellent.
The pool wasn't open, which is understandable when there is no power, which was a minor disappointment for the kids, but we all still had a great time.

Highly recommended
Very clean and well-maintained hotel. All the staff were lovey and extremely helpful. The food was excellent. I cannot fault Raheen Woods Hotel in any way. Athenry is a lovely historic town for a stroll around and a trip to the castle is worth it.

The property allowed us to check in early without charge. Staff were super friendly. The bed was comfy. The rooms are very dark and a little dated but they’re clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. Well worth the price we paid

Excellent in every aspect
We had an amazing weekend with our 4-year old. I've stayed in hotels numerous times (for work and leisure) and Raheen Woods is definitely the cleanest and friendliest I've been to in the island of Ireland. All staff incredibly helpful and attentive. The McHale's is the best hotel pub/restaurant I've been to. Breakfast was also excellent. I loved the beautiful décor of the whole hotel and it completely corresponded to the superb experience it offered us. Congratulations! We'll certainly return.

Short stay for a funeral
We were new to this hotel. Warm welcome. Comfortable room larger than we expected with a balcony. Spotlessly clean and the furnishings looked of decent quality. One day housekeeping missed refreshing the tea,coffee tray but reception very quickly put this right. Everything else very smooth.

The fairy garden for kids was a cute addition to our stay. The food was great but the service was unprofessional, we were forgotten about for a long time. The room was quiet, spacious, and reception provided a wonderful fan for our room.
