The layout was weird, so that we had to lug our bags down/up stairs even after taking the elevator. Serious problem for anyone with mobility issues.

Very comfortable accommodations for a family staying near Kilkenny. The restaurant was excellent.
Alison, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This hotel's exterior doesn't even hint at what's inside. The area is spacious, flowing and absolutely lovely in the lobby and Waterfront restaurant. We drove all over Ireland for the past 2 weeks and this is the only hotel that had a shower curtain so the floor wasnt flooded (those half walls do nothing, especially when you can't adjust the showerhead to not spray outside the shower stall) and a bathroom exhaust fan so the mirror didnt steam over. The staff were so friendly and helpful,Orla especially, at reception. She recommended so many amazing things to do in the area. We went to some the next day and had so much fun at Hook Lighthouse, eating in Kilmore Quay and visiting Huntington Castle. The breakfast in the morning had fantastic pan au chocolate and the fried brie at Lord Bagenals restaurant was so very good. We really enjoyed our 2 nights here and would definitely stay here again.

The Inn was very nice, but a little dated. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was nice and the bed was extremely comfortable.

8/10 Good

Staff and food excellent. Rooms need to be seen too, over all cleanliness in bedrooms is so poor.
Christina, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Outstanding

The hotel and staff were amazing. We only stayed 1 night as we were in the area for a quick family visit. The cleanliness was top notch, the rooms just perfect, we had dinner and breakfast both of which you couldn’t fault. Have recommended this Hotel to others and would have no hesitation recommending to others.
Marie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Had a few issues with toilet and kettle. I think it’s time to put some money into a renovation and upgrade of the rooms. They are looking a bit tired.
Michelle, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Do not stay in this hotel when there is a wedding reception in attendance; you will not get a single bit of sleep. Our first night in the hotel was great. Friendly staff, lots of comfortable seating area in the lobby, yummy food in the connected restaurant. But the second night, a week night, there was a wedding reception. We could hear the music as clearly as though we were attending the reception; could understand the lyrics and identify the songs. Wedding venues connected to hotels should not interfere with the rest of non-wedding guests but it did. A week night wedding that went well past 11PM. We got very little sleep because of the noise. A very disappointing stay that we would not return to unless we knew there was no wedding taking place.

4/10 Poor

Disappointing Stay at the Lord Bagenal Inn – Not Worth the Price ⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ Of all the places I stayed during my 10-night trip through Ireland—both in the Republic and Northern Ireland—the Lord Bagenal Inn was, unfortunately, the only one I truly didn’t enjoy. At €195 per night, I expected something much better, especially this far into my journey (night 9), when I had plenty of comparisons. The room felt tired and dated, with worn carpet featuring visible stains and furniture that was both scratched and oddly arranged. It didn’t feel thoughtfully put together—just mismatched and neglected. To make matters worse, the view from the room was dismal. I can’t help but wonder if booking through Expedia influenced the room assignment, but regardless, it was far from pleasant. The layout of the hotel was also confusing and impractical. From the elevator, I had to navigate a set of stairs down to the room—an odd and inconvenient design, especially for guests with luggage. It left me scratching my head as to how this setup made it through planning for a modern traveler. That said, I do want to give credit where it’s due: the breakfast was genuinely excellent—by far the best of all the accommodations we stayed in throughout Ireland. It was clear that more care and attention went into the kitchen than into the guest rooms. All in all, while the Lord Bagenal Inn might work for some, it just didn’t meet the expectations set by the price or my previous stays elsewhere in Ireland

A true gem

This was such a beautiful hotel in such a beautiful location. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and we loved the decor and different spaces to just relax within the hotel. We dined in the bistro and again, this was a great experience. Would definitely stay here again.
