Beautiful hotel but bad experience

Disappointed, main floor room that had main hall door on one side and a van parked outside our window that prohibited us from opening our window. Loud on both sides. Event going on and van outside window was loading at 130 in the morning.Family room beds were odd, lights attached to headboards kept you from being able to sit back in bed, they were in the way, could hit your head if slept close to head of bed. Talked with staff in the morning and they apologized for the terrible experience. She tried to give us credit back for our room, but unfortunately because we booked through hotels.com a third-party she did not know how she could compensate us. We paid nearly US$300 for our room that night and I was very disappointed. She promised she would email us in someway shape or form to make it right and I have yet to receive any correspondence.

We spent one night here on our way from Dublin to Kilkenny. The staff were prompt and very polite. The location is rural, but the facility is top notch. A grand staircase greets you as you enter the main lobby. As a group, we occupied three rooms. Our only issue was the lack of room air conditioning (but iist say the temps while we visited were the highest in almost 80 years). The rooms are equipped with an energy saving feature, you must place a room key in a wall mounted to activate any in room power or lighting. If your remove the key card to exit the room all lights and wall power turn off. This was not a problem once we figured out how it worked. We had two room keys, so if a person remained in the room, the spare key allowed them to watch television and have lighting.

Nicely refurbished.

I stayed here several years ago and it was in the middle of a refurbishment. Now some time has passed the refurbishment loos great and the room was nicely appointed and equipped. Comfy beds and had a good nights sleep. The service in the bistro bar was good but the food only OK. I would have expected better and there were a lot of flies buzzing round landing on my plate and glass which wasnt nice. Overall nice hotel and top tip, avoid parking under the trees outside the main entrance. My car was covered in so much bird muck the rental company charged me a cleaning fee. :-)
