Location good.
Quality of food extremely poor for a 4 star hotel.
They upgraded our room and was so amazing the whole experience.top staff top food top atmosphere
We loved everything
The venue is lovely and food is fab
I think for the price your paying per night, check in should be earlier. 4pm is so late to be honest. Your not really getting any value for money.
The organic farm and sustainability efforts were excellent and great to see. The food was delicious, high quality, and flavorful.
There was a very strong fragrance in the room that was a overpowering at first but eventually we got accustomed to it. Something to be aware of if you are sensitive to scents or asthmatic.
It is a nice property. I was expecting a better restaurant. Also the carpet in the hallways needs to be changed as it is very well worn
As above
Beautiful hotel, very comfortable bed
Mooie ruime kamer, supercomfortabele bedden (zeldzaam op onze reis door UK en Ierland), royaal ontbijt met veel keuze en opties Leuk dat er zwembad e.d. zijn
Vrij prijzig terwijl je redelijk aan accommodatie gebonden zit als je niet met auto op pad wil. Het is een beetje een kermis om hotel heen, met bar e.d., kwaliteit daarvan is mager
El hotel es muy bonito. El desayuno es maravillosos, de buena calidad. El personal del desayuno es excelente. Hay una pequeña granja con animales muy bien cuidados. El área de juegos infantil está fenomenal. Tienen un huerto fabuloso.
El baño de la habitación era horrible. Olía mal, a humedad, estaba destartalado, peor que el de un hostel barato. La habitación olía a pies cuando llegamos, un asco. Se oía absolutamente todo de las habitación contiguas, por lo que descansar fue difícil. Las camas son incómodas, se hunden y se clavan los muelles. Muy caro para no descansar.
Breakfast was very good
Room was beautiful. Food lovely. Majority of the staff very nice and friendly
Housekeeping staff not very friendly seemed to be cross. I have worked housekeeping myself and I understand it is a tough job however show me a job in a hotel that’s easy.
Beds and pillows were very comfortable.
Could have used a bigger portable fan for our room for 5. It was a warm evening and without AC was harder to cool down the room
Posizione
Everything! 2 adults, 3 kids- enjoyed all. Breakfast both mornings and dinner in Timmy Macs both nights was all gorgeous high quaility food in lovely surroundings. Food served rapidly also. Enough entertainment out at the pet farm and treehouse to keep the kids fully entertained.
Nothing, i couldnt fault it. Was pleasantly surprised, it was better than expected for the Easter break.
Everything from the rooms to the outside eating pods
the setting
limited menu
Food was amazing, staff so lovely. Bed was comfy.
Had a strong odour in room when we first arrived, but had windows opened for a while which cleared it. Also one of coffee sachets was already opened.
Excellent staff and food. V personal touch evident throughout the stay. Bedroom located in a v quiet area. Dinner and breakfast service Excellent.
Probably wouldn't have booked if we had realised there were numerous Confirmations on and that many families would be staying over but lots of children up late but fully understand their entitlement to be there too.
Staff
Room, facilities opening hours, some of the food and the bar serving mixers 200ml and drinks when they should be 330ml.
Very spacious and comfortable rooms, lively hotel with lots of facilities
Pool and health spa very busy as shared with public, very male dominated. Some issues calling reception and organising room service.
Staff are very friendly and helpful in every way. Food is outstanding and also a great pint of Guinness to be got. Leisure facilities are excellent.
Nothing I didn't like, woodlands ticked all the boxes for me.
Dinner was nice Location good Breakfast was nice
Staff weren't great in all areas , check in staff was poor, I had to ask all questions what time breakfast, what time can children use the pool etc we were a family of 5 so I clearly needed that info .arrived at 4pm and still had to wait for room to b3 ready. Breakfast was chaotic and again not enough staff and not great management. Bedroom was poorly ventilated, noise running all night from pool area below us 😔
Absolutely amazing place
N.a
Beauriful hotel .Very kind staff
Location
The Spa was excellent . Main hotel was a let down
It was freezing cold in the restaurant, the bar , the lobby etc. we mentioned it at dinner and when we were in the lobby , both occasions we were made to feel like we were fools for saying . Bedroom was ice cold too but the heat was turned off . There was a dirty tray of food outside a room door when we checked in and it was still there when we checked out . The rooms are shabby . It was a let down considering it was an expensive stay on a Tuesday night, €260 .
The Hotel was just the perfect stay
Nothing
Good location for kids
Too many kids
The bedroom were large . The lobby was lovley . The staff were very friendly and hard working
Tables in bar were cleared very slowly so no where to sit as they were full of leftovers. Our 1st morning breakfast was disaster again no one to clear tables waiting to be seated hard to get anyone's attention. Yet second morning was unbelievable with one young man who couldn't do enough and made breakfast enjoyable no name tag. It wasn't the warmest hotel. Dinner first night fabulous second night two dishes cold .
I loved the hotel and especially the family atmosphere
Breakfast wasn't so good
Classy and modern
Nothing
Outside of Adare so very quiet but easy short access to town. Very comfortable accommodations.
Nice size family room. Very soft beds. Nice to see a Jacuzzi bathtub. The nine year old was delighted! Also liked the Treehouse where we had a meal in the evening in one of the heated sheds. Also had a swim and a wander around the pet farm. Nice setup for families. Also a good selection and service at breakfast!
There was a very strong smell of orange in the room. Not fresh orange. More like a airfreshner type scent. Didn't think much of it. Room seemed nice and clean. Throughout the stay, the scent lingered, but it took on an undertone of vommit. This combined with a wet spot next to one of the beds, made us deduce that someone had been sick the night before. I mentioned it at the checkout. Staff handled it really well, and said they would have moved us if we had come to them before.
staff were friendly
no lift Bed too high water not very hot
Excellent kind staff that were very kind to our family especially the children. Thank you
If the hotel could suggest to guests to reserve their table for dinner in advance if the hotel is particularly busy so there is no wait time.
Camere belle e bagni ampi
A great fun for kids in the farm and pool, very well behaved staff and decent size room with cozy bed.
Overall good experience nothing that I can think of.
Caring and informative staff
Such a lovely relaxed atmosphere, great for the kids, so much to do nearby.
No complaints
This is an exceptional hotel. So clean and full of life, great staff
Nothing.
Great place. Staff was extremely helpful. Entire facility was clean, decorated well with staff that wanted to help and serve anyway they could. Looked like a great place for families
Nothing except could stay longer
Lovely family atmosphere and staff were very attentive to all needs. Loved the fact that the 3 children had proper single beds rather than sofa beds or sharing beds as in other hotels and all beds were very comfy.
Very good pleasant staff, friendly and very helpful will look forward to calling back in the near future.
No fault!
Superior breakfast
Unfortunately the pools changing facilities were out of action due to renovations.
Facilities, bed, staff were very helpful, treehouse was a great spot for chilling with coffee or pizza, bar was good, leisure centre was nice
No thermostat in the room, was quite warm

Everythimg
The carpet in the hall ways was a bit worn and out of date
Beautiful clean hotel. Very friendly staff. Loved it. Beautiful location
We loved everything about this trip . The Hotel is Amazing . Staff are excellent . It is so Family orientated. Offering great support to young Families. Woddies Club from 5 until 8 for Children to allow Mums and Dads some time together is an excellent idea . Outside dining with heated wooden cabins was great. Pet farm and playground for the active Toddlers. The rooms are very well presented with lots of space for families . We will most definitely be back 💯
The only negative I can find would be their system for reservations. Communication and confirmation of same was poor when we as a family wanted to extend our stay but to be fair to them we gt sorted in the end . Communication is first point of contact and could be improved . .
