    Somewhat dated rooms; esp ones not facing interior property.

    Great location in Adare; breakfast is amazing w everything sourced (try local Croom farm eggs); dinner and bar on site fantastic. Next to Riverwalk.

    The duvet was way too warm for summer temperatures!. No separate sheet, so we had to remove the duvet cover to get a sheet and sleep without the duvet. A blanket as a lighter cover option would have worked. Road noise was a barrier to opening the window. The website advertised baked carved ham for breakfast, but it seems that's an occasional feature. Breakfast was mediocre for a 4* hotel overall, but the coffee was good. Nothing that can't be improved upon. Would absolutely stay again.

    Historic hotel in the heart of Adare village. We were given an upgrade at check-in! Thank you for that. The room was large and had a 4 poster bed. The shower was powerful, and the Voya bathroom products were divine. Drinks and service at the bar and in the dining room was super. We liked the overall traditional style and hospitable vibe about the place.

    I thought the hot buffet breakfast would have been better. Only black puddings, no white puddings. Sausages were seasoned and would be an acquired taste

    Room was very spacious and comfortable

    I don't like paying a deposit for tabs in advance. It will determine me from rebooking.

    The air conditioning in the room didn't work. It said the temperature was 26.2 C when I arrived. I set it to go down to 16 C but it never got below 25.6 C. I ended up with the window wide open instead which cooled me down but kept me awake as I overlooked the main street and traffic was heavy. Also, while waiting to be seated for breakfast, the gentleman ignored me (I am short), looked right over my head, and seated the couple who had entered behind me. Not the best way to treat a single, middle aged female customer. The old saying that middle aged women become invisible seemed to be operating that morning. Breakfast was a bit odd. The sausages were GIGANTIC. I was offered eggs cooked to my liking but then saw several people receiving pancakes. Was there a written menu I wasn't offered? No one mentioned the option of pancakes to me and I love them.

    I booked a single room. Was in room 7 and it was really beautiful. There was a wedding on and I was afraid the regular guests would be swamped by the party but the hotel managed to keep the regular part of the hotel quiet and pleasant even with a big party going on. It was very well done.

    The accomodation staff entered the room the morning of check out while we were still there, maybe a system to let them know which rooms have checked out could be best.

    Beautiful room, cosy atmosphere and the staff were so accommodating and kind. The extra touches were noted and it honestly exceeded our expectations! Would recommend

    The lighting system in the bedroom was very annoying. To turn on the bathroom light at night all the lights in the bedroom come on and therefore disturb everyone . Didn't like the bar , lacking atmosphere even though food was nice there

    Poor bar food - one snack cost refunded but after long day’s travel? - not great. Room good on most fronts but characterless.

    Spacious, quiet (as requested), comfortable bed, good shower, separate dressing room, attractive bar open to garden, excellent breakfasts (good for coeliac) helpful, pleasant staff in every area.
