Reviewed Jun 28, 2026Staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Breakfast was amazing with added bonus of freshly baked scones and brown bread. Breakfast was also made to order which meant everything was fresh.
Small touches would have increased the rating example; hook on back of bathroom door missing, no stopper in bathroom sink, no toilet brush, no biscuits with room tea tray.

Reviewed May 30, 2026Room was very comfortable and the full Irish breakfast was very generous.
No residents' bar so were asked to leave each night so that floor could be washed, thus not great for socializing. Also, no one came into our room to tidy it, replace used towels or make the bed. A first in all our years of staying in hotels.

Reviewed May 18, 2026The location of the hotel was fantastic
My party arrived with kids after a football tournament, at reception the staff were very friendly upon arrival, we booked a table online but staff said they didn't have knowledge of the booking, we had to wait for people to leave and get our own table one by one to fit our large party of 11 in total, the kids were well behaved but felt like staff kept looking over if they were being a nuisance. We got the impression the hotel is not child friendly which was very disappointing, I would love to go back to the hotel if all of that didn't happen as the location was perfect and the hotel was lovely, it definitely but a dampener on the night away

Reviewed May 5, 2026Sehr schönes Haus, toll eingerichtet. Die Zimmer sind etwas aus der Mode, passt aber zum gesamten Stil.
Leider kann ich nur eine 7 vergeben, da wir die Nacht überhaupt kein Auge zumachen konnten. Es gab eine lokale Veranstaltung im Hotel, mit DJ und lauter Musik. Das wäre alles nicht so schlimm gewesen, wenn man uns, die mit dieser Veranstaltung überhaupt nichts zu tun haben, einfach ein Zimmer zur anderen Seite gegeben hätte!!! Dann hätten wir nicht so viel mitbekommen. Unser Zimmer war direkt über dem Veranstaltungsraum und zur Party-Terrasse raus! Die Musik war bis ca.1:00 Uhr nachts noch nicht ganz so laut, dann wurde aber bis ca. 3:00 Uhr nachts noch mal voll aufgedreht. Anschließend durften wir den alkoholisierten Gästen auf der Terrasse noch zuhören. Alle anderen Hotelgäste, waren auf dieser Veranstaltung und fanden es sicher nicht schlimm. Aus diesem Grund werden wir unseren Aufenthalt leider nicht in guter Erinnerung behalten.

Reviewed Jan 15, 2026Lovely Boutique hotel with comfortable rooms, good food and very friendly, helpful staff. We did not have dinner or breakfast included in our initial on line booking but we were able to book upon arrival. The restaurant was busy and fully booked but we were happy to sit in the bar. The bar menu had a nice variety of choices to suit and cater for all needs. In the morning lovely choice on Al carte breakfast menu. Waiting staff even though busy were attentive and friendly. Wonderful amenities like Discovery Park short walk away from Hotel is a great spot for walking, with a number of different activities ie like zip lining for the brave of heart. The craft village in old Estate Farmyard has unique craft shops and bespoke designers to browse and buy gifts or treat yourself. Would highly recommend a visit to Castlecomer even a short stay.
