The cleaning staff was excellent, as was the front desk, and restaurant staff. They got us in without hesitation, explained everything, kept us comfortable, and worked with us to get meals, even though we didn't know we needed a reservation for dinner. Super helpful and respectful staff. I loved the pumpkin carving contest. The beds were a little too firm, but everything overall was beautiful. the spa experience was also fun.

I’ll preface this with I am an American. The staff and restaurant and bed and location was amazing. That was about it. No wash rags for the bath. Shower door was broken. Drain cover was broken. Almost made the wife fall. Hot room. Not the best. All good though.

The property was in a quiet rural setting with the town of Dunboyne walking distance away. Really enjoyable and relaxing location. Note that there is a spa but no full size swimming pool on site. Dining options were very good and service was great. Looking forward to returning to this property.

I had a basic room, but it was nice. The grounds are beautiful and the staff was lovely. Enjoyed the bars/restaurants in walking distance. The locals were all very welcoming and friendly. About 20 minute walk to the train station that is easy transport to Croke Park in Dublin.

Had such a fantastic stay here, after our flight was canceled and we struggled to find accommodations this place accepted us. We ended up staying here for 2 nights and it was peaceful and relaxing. Beds were comfortable and the room was clean. The exterior of the property and the grounds were well maintained. The staff took great care of us.
