Mount Wolseley Hotel, Golf and Spa Resort
10/10 Excellent
"We checked in and discovered our room didn’t have a bath, we were swapped to a room with one immediately, not a problem to the staff. The room was clean, spacious and the bathroom was also spotless. Bath and shower were separate, water pressure was fab and hot water always available no matter what time of day you were using it. Mini fridge, kettle, coffee machine with pods, hair dryer, iron and ironing board all provided. Breakfast selection was plentiful and hot food was replenished regularly. Many options to choose from for cereal, continental, hot food and pastries. There was even fresh honey on the comb, what a treat! We had breakfast 3 mornings and never had the same thing twice. We ate in both Frederick’s and Aaron lounge, amazing food available from both. The cocktails were also very good, great taste and not too heavy with the alcohol, you could taste all the elements of each. Lastly, the staff were all very attentive, friendly and made you feel at home. Would highly recommend a stay here either as a couple or family."
Avlon House Bed & Breakfast
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and were very impressed with the overall experience. We had two rooms, and both were spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The hotel truly exceeded our expectations and offered more than we would typically expect from a 4-star hotel. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. They made us feel genuinely cared for and were always happy to assist with any questions or requests. They also gave us wonderful recommendations on places to visit and things to see in their beautiful country. I am so grateful that we listened to their advice, as some of those experiences became memories that will last forever. The location was also very convenient, only a 10-minute walk from the Irish Rail station, which made traveling to and from Dublin very easy. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection of fresh and delicious options. It was a wonderful way to start each day before heading out to explore. The hotel also offered exceptional room service. Returning to the hotel after a long day of sightseeing truly felt like coming home—it was always relaxing, comfortable, and welcoming. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would definitely stay here again. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay!"
