Room was okay, but shower was scalding hot I had to wash my hair in the sink. Unacceptable and should have been compensated in some way. Breakfast was delish and bar staff were great! Amenities outside of that were lackluster, the response from the staff was oh you’re checking out so no worries.

I stayed here as I was picking up my wedding dress in Zadika Bridal next door to the hotel which was so handy! The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely and clean was I loved The Hand Soap Co hand/body/shampoo in the bathroom- really nice touch. Breakfast reminded me more of a B&B breakfast more so than a hotel. Limited buffet selection and you order your hot meal off the menu. Breakfast was tasty just didn’t feel like a hotel breakfast. The parking was very handy too.

I have avoided eating here as the prices are ridiculous, however I was out with friends and we ended up here having bar food. I got the chicken goujons and chips which was €25. The portion size for the price was so poor. I counted 11 chips, side salad and 5 goujons that were very poorly cooked and tasted bland. I won't be returning for food here. I will add that the staff are lovely and very attentive, however its is just so overpriced for what you get and is not worth it in my experience.

Had a fabulous Christmas Eve meal. Great menu, delcious food and lovely staff, couldnt fault it., We trationally go to a restruant across the road for Christmas Eve but so so glad we changed our plans. We had much much nicer food with a much nicer ambience and service (steaks cooked to perection) soups as nice as evrer tasted etc, Couldnt reccommend it highly enough. So lucky to have such a nice resturant in Carrickmacross. Great food, setting and staff there is no resturant in Carriclmacross with tastier, fresh , fabulous food obviouly a very talented chef.

This hotel was a lovely little surprise. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, bed and pillows were great, bathroom modern and spotless. And the full Irish was the best hotel breakfast (including 5 star) that I've had in a long time, with a great pot of real coffee. Very friendly staff.
