Det var ikke varmt nok vand i badet
Liked the overall experience. Spa was lovely, facilities were clean. Bedroom was lovely and bed was comfortable. The bar and outdoor area was nice and the food served at dinner was tasty. I couldn't fault it.
Top schoon, goed ontbijt. (Laatste dag was het minder, maar dat had te maken met het feit dat het personeel geen zin had.) Pub eten is geweldig en het zwembad is een aanrader.
Eigenlijk niets. Alleen dat de laatste ochtend het personeel bij het ontbijt niet super was. Normaal krijg je altijd alles wat je vraagt, allen die ochtend kreeg je alleen wat er op het buffet stond.
It was very clean and a good location for where we were going
We booking for the Tullamore show it was a bit disappointing that they didn’t open for breakfast at 6 o’clock in the morning for the day that was in it.
Staff were very pleasant and helpful, hotel spotless, food great for dinner and breakfast
no complaints
I loved breakfast. Was delicious
I really can’t think of anything. Wish i had more time to enjoy pool/spa
Stay here once or twice a year love the friendly people, and the bedrooms have all been redecorated which feels more modern
Always enjoy staying at the H & J, facilities, rooms and food excellent
It’s locality, cleanliness, nice restaurant and leisure facilities

Only nice hotel in the area.
We ate dinner at the hotel—the food was excellent but the manager was not especially accommodating. They were annoyed we had 7 people and tried to squeeze 7 people into a table for 6 because they had breakfast silverware on the other tables…
mostly everything was great
in the hot weather, a fan or some air conditioning would have been nice
We loved everything about the property. Check in was so easy and every member of staff was lovely to deal with. The leisure facilities were excellent as was the breakfast.
Nothing
It’s like coming home whenever I walk through the doors of the Horse & Jockey hotel. It’s a relaxed & friendly space with every comfort available to ensure a perfect stay

La piscine Chambre très confortable Petit déjeuner et restaurant magnifique Grande douche
Vue du rez-de-chaussée à hauteur de voiture Bruit dans le couloir incessant d'une porte de communication Attention pour la piscine : bonnet de bain obligatoire ou à acheter sur place. Elle est interdite aux enfants à partir de 19h
Both breakfast and dinner were excellent.
everything was fine.
Staff food rooms excellent

I liked the size of the room, the bed, the comfort, the good quality towels. I especially love the coffee bags which are so upmarket compared with many other hotels. I love the swimming pool and always make sure I get to have a swim whenever I stay here.
The only thing I would have liked an improvement on was the iron. I find that a steam iron is much better for removing wrinkles than the old style heat only iron.
The rooms were very comfortable. Loved the pool and Spa. Had an amazing massage. Gift shop wonderful. Food excellent. A nice oasis. Great for a recharge.
The staff were excellent, couldn’t of wanted for anything. The room was comfortable and absolutely gorgeous
La surface de la chambre La tranquilité Le petit déjeuner
Aucune prise electrique ne correspondait à mes appareils pas de convertisseur Le restaurant est moyen et cher
dinner food was disappointing
vegetables quality
It phenomenal
The breakfast buffet was the best ever.
Room was amazing but a little far from elevators
The food was only ok and the breakfast was not good and the breakfast team were bot good at all We were asked did we want tea or coffee when we entered the restaurant and after that not one member of the team neither spoke to us or checked if we were ok
Breakfast was excellent plenty of food and very attentive staff I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone for both food and accommodation.
Nothing really Staff were super and well mannered.
Beautiful modern room, very clean and spacious. Friendly and welcoming staff member. Value you for money would highly recommend. Nice meal in the restaurant, good service and quick.
Nice room comfortable beds food was very good
Bar facilities poor only really catered for food no hot water in the morning
Running late due to travel but got us into the bar for bar food which was excellent. Very warm and friendly staff.
We absolutely love the Horse and Jockey Hotel. We have stayed there at least 4 times.
Lovely room Super breakfast Staff v good
Shower v slippy!
Klasse Hotel mit Pferdedeko überall und toller Ausstattung mit Pool, tollen Massagen, Restaurant, Bar, Shops uvm Leckeres vielseitiges Frühstück!!
Leider war das Internet auf dem Zimmer nicht stabil. In der Lobby und den vielen anderen gemütlichen Sitzbereichen funktionierte es einwandfrei.
The waiting staff in both the bar and restaurant were fantastic. So efficient, really well trained and friendly. The food was also delicious. The room was big, clean and comfortable. The food was of excellent standard and value for money.
The reason I didn't give 10/10 was because the leisure centre let the hotel down. There was no life guard or staff member on duty in the pool area. I used the facilities as I knew there were massage jets in the pool area. Unfortunately, there was a family of 6 playing ball in the area I wanted to use and no staff member to tell them to either play ball on the kids pool (which was empty) or move. The soap dispensers were also empty in the women's changing area.
Great room and great staff.
Parking is free and close to the entrances. Good breakfast and wonderful flexibility for late evening food in the bar. Really friendly and helpful staff.
