I had a great experience at this hotel, enjoying the welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service throughout my stay. The rooms were lovely, especially with the festive vibes during Christmas time. However, there were some areas that could use improvement, such as the dining options at times falling short of expectations and a minor hiccup with my check-in process. Overall, it was a relaxing getaway with my friends, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Kilkenny.

The hotel has a lot of potential with spacious family rooms and excellent facilities, but our experience was marred by inconsistent service and a noisy environment due to a wedding.

Our family's stay was filled with fun activities and enjoyable moments at the hotel, especially thanks to the pool and the pet farm. The room was spacious and very well maintained, making it comfortable for our group. However, the pool area felt a bit crowded at times, and while we had a great time at dinner, breakfast could have had a few more options. Overall, it was a delightful family getaway.
