Armada House

Miltown Malbay

10/10 Exceptional

It was raining (go figure) and we just got back from eating dinner. The Help asked us if we wanted anything and got us baileys and we spent time by the fire. Very nice. Breakfast was awesome. Was sorry to see the evening help leave and not be there in the morning but Kitty was there to serve breakfast and help with checkout. If you want hustle and bustle and rude waitstaff you’ve gone to the wrong place. We went to the cliffs and Aron island afterwards and wanted to go back but it didn’t fit...

Ashford Castle

Cong

10/10 Exceptional

I don't think it is possible to rate Ashford Castle as anything less than a full 5-star experience. In fact, if I could give it six stars I would. The level of customer service is so far above and beyond the call of duty it almost takes your breath away. Yes, it is expensive. But it is truly worth every penny. From the moment I pulled through the gates I knew this was a special place. It reeks of luxury...in a good way! Be sure to take advantage of the amenities. If you can only do one thing, do...

The Dean Galway

Galway City Centre

10/10 Exceptional

When I booked this hotel, I was so excited to see it in person. The Dean did not disappoint in all areas. Upon arrival, the front desk staff (I didn't get their names) shared the best things about Galway, how to access them and engaged in a conversation that made you feel like you were a guest in their home. The amenities were outstanding and the design and function were clearly evident. We ate dinner at Sophie's our first night and the food did not disappoint neither did the view. I...

The Ardagh Hotel & Restaurant

Clifden

10/10 Exceptional

My 2 friends and I had a great time staying at the Ardagh Hotel. It's a family owned hotel, with excellent hospitality and amazing food in the restaurant. Our 4-person room was spacious, clean, and had a great view of the water. Clifden is a small town, and we went into the town "center" (which is about a 10 minute drive from the hotel) via a taxi. When we wnated to get back to the hotel around 1am, we couldn't find a taxi, but called the hotel and the hotel owner's son (who had helped us...

Cornamona

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful, spacious property. Practical Details for Americans: they have a water kettle not a coffee pot, so purchase instant or bag coffee before you come, not beans or ground. They have a washer and dryer. You need to bring pods and be aware, it's a condenser dryer that takes about 2 hours to dry a verysmall load (5-6 items). Be sure to empty the dryer water tank. It's muddy on the property, so bring slippers or alternate shoes plus something to put your shoes in to protect your suitcase....

We arrived at around 2 pm and brunch was being served. We did not have reservations. The staff accommodated us and we waited in the bar with a delicious cocktail while our table was being prepared. The food was the best we had in Ireland so far and we ate a lot of wonderful food in Cong and Kilkenny. What a delicious treat. Hubby had 3 course I had 2 course. Hubby ordered the creamy seafood chowder the feathered beef served on mashed potatoes, came with fresh broccoli and carrots and I had...

Gleesons Restaurant & Rooms

Roscommon

10/10 Exceptional

Gleeson's Townhouse & Restaurant was the highlight of hotels (12) during a three weeks trip in Ireland. We were met with tea and scones (my ones favorite of the trip). Dinner was an amazing selection of food. Enjoyed relaxing in the restaurant and didn't feel rushed. Breakfast was another winner. It's not that it was the newest or nicest, but it was the fact that it was the very best overall because of the accommodations, staff, cafe and bar/restaurant. The renovations the made on their...
