Nothing

Lovely staff with good food

Homily hotel easy going

At least he still answers the phone and gives you some hope of getting a refund! But no hope after 4 phone calls it seems…

Bad experience. Contacted property as we had booked it and it was 15 mile away from our location (our own mistake for not realising). Contacted the property right away and asked if a refund would be possible. Owner on the phone agreed to the refund, however he has not responded to booking.com. We could have stayed if he had stated otherwise! Now we have lost on a night stay & the full night booking fee

food and service

could do with a revamp

Really clean, very nice staff, an amazing pint of Guinness, and the breakfast was a big portion and lovely.

It was all good.

Location, room size.

Food was not brilliant

The bed was very comfy and breakfast was amazing

The fan in the room was covered in dust

Whom It May Concern, My husband, my 31-year-old daughter, and I had travelled from our home on the Kerry/Limerick border, a journey of approximately 160 miles, to visit the Beyond The Trees visitor experience at Avondale. We had paid 235 euros to stay at Murphy's Tinahily for one night on Saturday 2nd August Bank Holiday 2025.We had chosen Murphy’s based on its reasonable proximity to Beyond The Trees visitor experience and also with the belief that it would offer comfortable hotel-standard accommodation. On arrival, we were shocked and disappointed to find that the apartment was not located within the main hotel building, but instead in a separate, shabby structure nearby with a rough and uninviting exterior. The area was made even more unpleasant by the strong smell of cooking oil and fast food from a chip shop directly next door. The two televisions in the accommodation did not work, and while clean the overall condition of the place fell far short of any reasonable expectation based on how the hotel had been represented online. Due to the poor appearance and atmosphere, we chose not to eat at Murphy’s and were forced to drive all the way to Arklow to find a decent meal, even though we had arrived tired and hungry after a long journey. After visiting Beyond The Trees we were so disheartened by the accommodation that we returned, handed in our key, and—despite the risks of driving long distances on narrow country roads over a Bank Holiday weekend—decided to travel the entire way home rather than spend a night there. This experience has left us feeling misled, distressed, and extremely disappointed. We feel strongly that: The listing on Booking.com was misleading, The standard of accommodation does not meet any reasonable tourist expectation, regards Eileen,

The poor shabby outward appearance

The location is excellent with parking right outside the door. The staff are all very pleasant. The food is excellent, our room was spotless and really comfortable.

Nothing, no negatives at all, at a stretch would have liked a suoerking bed.

Excellent breakfast

The hosts Sam & Colin were so friendly & happy to share their time, great breakfast, actually all the meals were good 👍
