Fantastic staff. Great room and excellent service all round. Interesting town to visit. Trip Advisor want me to write more but I think you get the gist of our visit. Why I can't sign out until I have written 200 words is a bit of a pain Trip Advisor - get someone to sort this out and be a bit more realistic.

We live in Shannon and hour from Birr. Normally we travel up towards Galway or south to Kerry for a quick getaway from the kids. The traffic in Galway is to be avoided at all costs. The hotel was lovely, the room beautiful, we stayed in the Nest. The hotel is very close to the centre of town. The town was quiet but we had a few lovely pints in a few local pubs, met a few friendly locals and off back to the hotel. We did Birr castle during the day and that is a place we'll come back to with our kids.

I stayed here on December 27th for one night. My only regret was it wasn’t longer. Our room 154 was recently renovated and the decor was very stylish. The room was spacious and our package included a welcome bottle of wine. The bathroom had Rituals products supplied- a little touch of luxury. We had dinner in the bar area. The steak was sublime - melt in the mouth. The servers were friendly and efficient. Next morning we used the leisure facilities. We had the pool and jacuzzi to ourselves and it was in pristine condition. It was a great way to build up an appetite for a sumptuous breakfast. Breakfast is a continental buffet and hot food to order, with an extensive menu available. The service, again , was fantastic. Food was promptly delivered to our table and Chloe our server got us a refill of tea no problem. As Irish people we love our tea and it was great getting not just one pot each, but a top up! I was sorry to leave as the hotel was so relaxing and calm. It’s perfectly situated in Birr town and we were able to walk in at night time and enjoy the beautiful Christmas lights. Birr is a lovely town with plenty of charming shops and eateries. Finally, the day after we checked out I realised I’d left something behind in the room. I couldn’t believe when I rang the hotel that they kept a full record of items left behind and stored them safely. Shout out to the housekeeping team for such conscentiousness as my item could easily have been discarded and would have cost me a lot to replace. I fully recommend a stay at the County Arms. We got really good value for money, but most of all we got a relaxing, enjoyable break away.

Attended a wedding here and couldn't praise the hotel, staff and food enough! Room was lovely, clean and with ritual products in the bathroom. Used the spa area the day after which was a lovely amenity. Food was the best part of the wedding, really delicious! Would recommend!

Great food. Great service. Beautifully appointed restaurant area. We went for lunch and the food exceeded our expectations both in quality and value for money. The staff were brilliant from the greeting at the front desk to the servers. Everyone was smiling and seemed to enjoy working there. Highly recommended.
