Great National Hotels hotels in Ballybrophy, County Laois

"Beautiful property, welcoming, great breakfast "

"Very friendly staff. Very clean. Love the comfort of the room. Beautiful grounds. "

"The property was amazing, lots of fun walking areas. Can’t beat staying in an actual castle!"

"We stayed here for a long weekend while attending a confirmation. A lot of places around Kildare/Newbridge/Nass were booked so we booked here. It was a really nice hotel, tasteful decor throughout, nice bar restaurant at reception, linked to Kellys which we had a great dinner in, breakfast was really good quality and selection (their fruit was fresh!), comfortable beds, big rooms, great pool/spa facility with steam, sauna, plunge pool, hot tub, exp showers (tastefully done, no public swimming pool feel). Few points to note, no hair conditioner in rooms, swimming pool closed at 6.30pm on the Saturday which is very early in my book. We were looking forward to using it before dinner which we couldn't do so beware. No dressing gowns in rooms. Hotel was hot at night but you can turn the rads off and the windows open."

"Stayed here for one Saturday night on a trip through Ireland. The hotel staff were great and very friendly throughout the stay. I also appreciated the guest pass to the leisure centre not too far away to go for a workout. The food at Cusacks was very good. It does turn into a night club at night time with a DJ until 2 AM which we had our room right above where this was going on. If that’s annoying to you I would recommend making sure your room is farthest from the bass pumping all night. I was able to sleep through it but if you can’t that’s something to take into consideration"

"I have to preface this with an *. I had booked the gardener's cottage but there was some sort of booking mishap and the cottage was double booked. To their credit they gave me a room in the main house which was very nice. It was technically an up-grade and there was no charge. I would have like the solitude of the cottage, but I am not upset as I had a lovely time. You should most definitely get dinner. The food was exceptional. I enjoyed interacting with the other guests and the host over conversation in the drawing room. I was also able to find a bit of the solitude I was looking for with a walk around the grounds and a few hours spent in the very nicely appointed library. I think the library was my favorite space on the property. I would definitely come back again and perhaps stay an extra day or ten."

"Bon accueil. Personnel disponible. Grande chambre confortable "

"Very lovely."

"Lovely hotel, Mary in reception made us very welcome. Room was spacious, clean and serviced each day, comfortable bed. Excellent choice of breakfast and staff were very helpful. Bar food was good too. Enjoyed a swim at the Spa. Overall it was a lovely stay and would happily stay there again and recommend to others."
