We stayed in the ashford suite and it was perfection, stunning stately room with so much space, opulence and comfort.
The stay exceeded expectations. Everything from the decor to the rooms and common spaces to the food was exquisite. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We have stayed before but this time it lost its charm. The attention to detail was the charm of the hotel which was lost. The breakfast was previously in Kathleen’s kitchen and was the primary reason we rebooked - this time it was in the golf club and it was terrible - both service and food quality. Kathleen’s kitchen didn’t fail to disappoint - it was great
The Carton House was a highlight of our trip to Ireland. The staff were attentive and kind, the hotel itself is gorgeous, and they have the most beautiful walking trails into the nearby town of Maynooth. We had an early flight with our young children in the morning, and the staff prepared breakfast to go for the car. Every detail was on point. Would recommend and stay at the Carton House again!
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.
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.
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.

Our stay here was excellent. Great check in experience. Amenities and grounds are excellent. We enjoyed a lovely evening and were joined with friends before dinner.
The following morning breakfast reserved in Kathleen’s Kitchen. The food was excellent. The ambience was too formal for breakfast. Some of the waiters did not enquire how one was or asked about the menu. Fine for dinner but could less formal in the morning
The property was gorgeous. Staff were excellent. It was so peaceful. Everything was so luxurious. Wish we had more time to explore everything on offer.
What a fantastic hotel. The history alone is worth the visit, the food is exemplary, the rooms clean and comfortable, and the staff were awesome and cooperative.
Absolutely beautiful property. Be sure to take the tour of the house. Breakfast was delicious and lots of options. The staff was so friendly. Close enough to Dublin. We would absolutely stay there again.
Another superb overnight stay in Carton House. Warmly greeted as soon as I entered reception- had an efficient & professional check in by Gregory. Excellent dinner & menu choice in the carriage room
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.
Gorgeous site, comforable rooms , great bed, and bathroom beautiful pool and qell equipped spa. Wonderful quiet place to relax. Amazing restaurant and service. Good golf. Not far from Dublin and airport. Nice hiatorical place.
We had a good stay. We were disappointed by the spa facilities which felt a little tired. We enjoyed the Carriage house restaurant. Breakfast was average.
