    We ate in the casual restaurant when we arrived. We were sat next to another couple when there was plenty of room in the restaurant. That couple had an issue with their food having garlic in it when they had asked for no garlic. I believe it flustered our waitress and she did not put our order in. It took 45+ minutes to get a salad and a pizza and our waitress did not come over again - the manager brought our food. They did take off 30% but the whole thing was not what we had expected. The other couple also had friends stop by with lengthy loud conversations right next to our table. It just seemed odd that they chose to seat us there when the restaurant was relatively empty.

    Beautiful castle, room, gardens, total experience. Wish we had more time to enjoy all it had to offer. We did a 7 day trip through Ireland so we were quick to move to our next destination. My husband did get 9 holes of golf in and we used the fitness center and walked the grounds. It was all so beautiful! The breakfast was amazing. The full Irish breakfast and the French toast were delicious. The continental offerings were unique such as power kale smoothies, breakfast smoothies, yogurt parfaits, pastries, etc. Service was top shelf. I would highly recommend.

    The Castle is fabulous!! We were very impressed with the nice and helpful staff and well appointed room. We loved the fancy bar and quite enjoyed the live music after dinner. The grounds are spectacular and the walled garden was lovely. The staff arranged clay shooting for us and it was A highlight! Very fun for our group who were inexperienced. Wish we could have stayed longer! Especially nice as We We’re flying out of Shannon and it was just am15 min drive to the airport

    we had a lovely room but it was a long way from the main rooms. As we age, an elevator might provide easier access.

    breakfast was excellent and in a beautiful setting. The garden was splendid. I've seen it over 24 years and this time I was impressed with the improvements. It was wonderful to sit there in the spring air. please keep on restoring it to compliment the architecture. your staff made the stay memorable by welcoming us and helping us with our stay.

    One member of the dining room staff (the tall older man was condescending to other staff in front of guests & he made several mistakes with orders then blamed other staff, he also made us feel rushed when ordering ) . Everything else was wonderful

    The castle was spectacular both inside & out . The food was excellent & the staff amazing

    Honestly can't think of anything. Service slows a little when things get busy, but this is true anywhere.

    Everything is what you would expect at a highly rated resort. The interior is wonderfully decorated and the staff is very friendly.
