Room was spotless and comfortable, well laid out, and I had a great night’s sleep. I had to hunt for ages for the tv remote control before giving up but that’s a minor quibble.

Lovely property, good food options, gym cardio equipment could be better (old, 2 machines out of order). Room was well appointed but a bit small.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Went for our 25th Anniversary; grounds are incredible-lush and historic, room was great, staff (Brian, Christina, Javier especially, the whole crew at Kathleen's!) provided impeccable service-memorable trip, we would recommend for sure.

This is one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed at. The grounds were stunning. The accommodations were well appointed and comfortable. The manor house was stunning and the staff was a pleasure.

Great stay

It's a delightful hotel with fantastic ground. Highly recommend. Mixed a business trip with pleasure and brought along my wife and 6 month old. No problems whatsoever, from cots to highchairs. My only fault was the lackluster service at breakfast... I can only presume the staff were busy to recall they'd seated us and hadn't taken our order. Alas. Notwithstanding, it's a hotel that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Perfect small family getaway!

We loved our entire experience at Carton House. The food was amazing, the room was impeccably clean, the scenery was incredibly beautiful, and my husband loved the golf! We had a picnic on the grounds which was a highlight. The staff was all very friendly and made consistent effort to help us out when we had inquiries. We brought out 10 month old baby with us and were able to take her for walks around the grounds and bring her to all the restaurants without feeling like she was a burden, thanks to the staff's warmth. We brought her to the pool during kid hours too! We felt especially well taken care of my Emma who was one of the managers at the Carriage House. Additionally, the spa was beautiful and extremely relaxing. The only issue we had throughout our experience was difficulty with getting the phone answered at Guest Services, but when we brought it up everyone was really helpful and understanding.

We fancy!

We’ve never stayed at a 5 star hotel before so felt a bit out of our element. No one treated us as such though. The staff was amazing. The place was beautiful. The meals were incredible. You got to learn the history of the place in multiple ways. Location would have been easier if we’d had our own car, but it was well worth the extra effort to get there via taxi/train combo.

Liked it a lot but flawed

Really enjoyed our stay but the bathroom was awful. Like something from a hospital 😬. The La Labo toiletries were lovely though. Morrison Room is FANTASTIC. Pool area was clean and v relaxing. Breakfast delicious. Heard a LOT of apologies from various employees to guests, including some for us. It just seems kind of chaotic, food service is not well managed anywhere except Morrison Room, but then everyone seemed really nice at the same time. I’d definitely go back - just don’t go if forgetful service bothers you.

A real 5 Star 🌟 Hotel

Very efficient and friendly greeting by Teresa on reception at Chrck-In along with her colleague Gregory. Warmest check in I have had in a long time. Food / service was superb. Ate dinner in Coach House & service by Nathan was first class. Breakfast was also excellent with lots of fresh food & good coffee on menu. Overall a superb hotel with friendly professional & qualitystaff.

Spectacular grounds, nicest and friendliest staff (reception/ grounds/ restaurants) and comfortable rooms. Indoor pool is brilliant, although SPA access is quite confusing. Check-in was fast, but unfortunately room wasn’t ready at designated check-in time (3pm), so we had to wait another 1h30 to have access, change, access pool with a kid, a bit disappointing for a 5 star hotel.

The Carton House is an absolutely breathtaking property, complemented by a team of caring and attentive staff. The dining options ranged from casual to elegant, and the dining rooms themselves were beautifully decorated. To celebrate our friend's birthday, I ordered a small red velvet cake, and was given the option to have it delivered either to one of the dining rooms or to my room. We chose to celebrate at The Carriage House, where our cake was not only delivered to our table after dinner, but it was also absolutely delicious! During our stay, we also had the chance to experience the Beekeeping Experience, which exceeded all expectations. While I anticipated it being unique, I didn't expect to walk away with such a deep understanding of the entire process. The beekeeper, Thomas, was fantastic—he took the time to explain everything from the basics to the various hive levels, as well as the fascinating life cycles of the bees. It was an educational and truly captivating experience that I would highly recommend. A heartfelt thanks to the entire Carton House team for making our stay so memorable, especially Paula and Constantine (Guest Relations), Alfonso (Bar), Courtney (Kathleen's Kitchen), and Aimee (The Carriage House). We truly appreciated our time here!

Lovely grounds and a beautiful building. A bit spaced out like a Vegas hotel experience. The spa, pool and gym were very good. But the wellness center is hard to find unless you go outside the building. We spent six nights here and issues at every breakfast. One time they ran out of teaspoons and took nearly 10 minutes to get us one. Another time they were out of plates. Several times they brought other peoples’ hot food to our table. We had one dinner and that didn’t go smoothly either. Took fifteen minutes to get a glass of prosecco. Waiters at one point getting angry with each other in French close to our table. And, when our chowder that we were sharing arrived it came without spoons. We shared a hamburger and that arrived uncut and without any cutlery. Also, the phone in the room didn’t work. I mentioned this to reception and they said maintenance would handle the next morning. They did not and I had to follow up. Overall, very disappointing for a hotel of this class.

Golf Short Break

Shame there was a water outage during our stay, although totally understand it was outside of hotel control. However, ordered a hot chocolate for bed and it was luke warm, no cream or marshmallows and the fiver charged was a bit steep!
