Clanard Court

Athy

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is a true old world charm property set in a very peaceful and serene environment. The property is well maintained and the rooms are very comfortable. The bed especially is very comfortable. The food and service is also excellent even though it is very full at weekends as it is a popular wedding and event property. There is a true commitment to quality and sincere warmth in both staff and housekeeping.

Avalon House Hotel

Castlecomer

10/10 Excellent

This was a great place! The car park was around the back of the building with plenty of spaces. The room was clean and well maintained and the bed was comfortable. We ate in the bar restaurant and the food was delicious. Our waiter, John, gave us excellent advice on things to see and do in the area and Trish, one of the managers, went above and beyond with hospitality. I’d definitely stay here again.

A garden with a gazebo, a white building with columns, and a well-maintained lawn.

An indoor dining area with tables set for two, featuring potted plants, candles, and table lamps.

The Heritage

Killenard

10/10 Excellent

The Heritage is by all rights a 5 star, not a 4 star hotel. The rooms, property, and staff are all top notch! The only issues I encountered are beyond the control of the Heritage -- There are not enough taxis (I travelled to/from The Heritage by train) and if you are planning to use one, for instance, to make rail connections, plan well ahead and reserve a taxi if possible. The other thing that would be nice is if there were more dining options nearby -- But again, this is beyond the control...

Hugh Lynch's Self Catering Accommodation

Tullamore

10/10 Excellent

Very simple and pleasant place to stay. Our room and the whole facility we saw were impeccably clean. Beds were comfy. Room was comfortably warm (even tho it was howling outside with freezing rain pelting down in sheets!). We would stay here again happily. Additional note: I suspect Tullamore is overlooked as a town to stay and explore. It’s a cool *old* town that retains its character. Blue Eyes Bakery became a favorite spot for us. Excellent food/pastries. And absolutely *superb* coffee!

Tobias

A buffet with various food items and a fruit bowl.

Tullamore Court Hotel

Tullamore

10/10 Excellent

Coming from the states with extensive travel experience, I can say that it is shocking to have a hotel where every feature feels like the main feature. The restaurants and bar are self sufficient - they do not seem to need the hotel to exist, very uncommon in my experience. In fact, it was clear that there were regular customers there, making me feel very at home. To that point, the staff was extremely courteous and informative of local events.

John

An outdoor cafe with wooden tables and chairs, potted plants, and a view of greenery through large windows.

Kildare House Hotel

Kildare

10/10 Excellent

Though the rooms have definitely not been renovated in quite some time, the property was clean and well maintained with fun decor throughout. Though I would have appreciated a small outdoor seating area or garden, the restaurant attached to the hotel made up for that and then some. The staff at the hotel and Gallops restaurant were fantastic and the food there was incredible. Best dinner I’ve had in a while!
