One of the nicer hotels

The hotel itself is fantastic, there is a vibe about the place that anyone especially horse lovers would love, the room was very tastefully decorated in decor that dosent seem like it would ever age or go out of style. The food in the bar airea is excellent, this was my second stay here and i would happily stay again.

Rare find - excellent stay

Regularly do business near Kilworth & this hotel was recommended to us. We have eaten on previous visits but this was first time staying overnight. Excellent hotel, friendly staff, huge comfortable room, dined in restaurant & super breakfast. This is obviously a very busy & well used hotel as there were signs of wear & tear, but it is spotlessly clean & so cosy. We just wish we had had more time to make use of the leisure & spa facilities, & room to eat the fabulous looking in-house bakery goods - next time!!! It is rare to find such a homely hotel of this size, & atmosphere which is severely lacking in most hotels nowadays! Would thoroughly recommend & will definitely stay on our next trip. Keep doing what you’re doing 👌
