We stayed on the 1st floor close to the entrance to the pool area, as the doors to the pool area were left wide open and it was all an open space with the pool there was a very strong smell of chlorine throughout the first floor but especially strong around the end of the corridor where our room was. Also, I tried to book the spa a couple of weeks in advance but both spa and thermal suite were booked out so if you want to use the spa while there maybe check availability before booking your stay. Dinner at the Grill & Bar was disappointing. We made a reservation in advance for 8:30. The restaurant looked nice and menu looked good, Starters arrived with no issues however there was almost an hour gap before we got our main. At some stage a manager came to let us know they were about to plate our food but it took another 20 minutes for it to arrive, we could see what was being plated because it is an open kitchen. Our order was one of the last ones to come out and they were literally packing up the food as kitchen was closing, My lamb shank was delicious and would even say worth the wait but my partner's steak was mostly gristle and inedible. We gave this feedback to the staff who were lovely and apologetic and refunded the steak, however, as the restaurant was now closed there was no alternative offered to order something else. One of the staff even followed us downstairs as we left the restaurant to apologise so I would not fault the staff. But yeah, for the place we were in the quality of the steak was dreadful and restaurant should stay open later as most people staying at the Lyrath probably dine onsite and the kitchen seemed overwhelmed to deal with the dinner rush.

Beautiful hotel, very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Lots of beautifully decorated areas to sit around and enjoy a drink and a chat. The room was spacious, clean and had lovely views of the grounds. There was evening entertainment which was very good & breakfast was delicious. The grounds of the hotel are also lovely to go for a walk.

We didn’t get best value out of the stay, it was a late booking and there was not any availability for spa treatment nor thermal spa access, and due to bad weather we didn’t have a walk on the estate; dinner in yew restaurant was limited choice but good and good service but lacked atmosphere as there were only 5 tables occupied in a huge room

Great hotel

N/A - everything was perfect!

Everything was amazing, from the minute we arrived everyone was so friendly and helpful, and we really had an amazing time. We really enjoyed the quiet and tranquility during the day too which allowed us to just chill out with a book or coffee.

I requested a four poster bed over 3 months before the stay and also followed up the request and was told I was definitely in one of the rooms with the four poster bed and when we arrived to our room it was a normal slay style bed.

Steaks a bit pricey but understandable

Staff very friendly, every space of hotel was clean, very good buzz in the grill bar at night, live music in the foyer was a very good touch, room was spotless and so quiet, beautiful bathroom products, amazing variety for breakfast, absolutely loved the natural honeycomb for my porridge

Having to pay extra to use spa pool, bar not taking cash on one side but taking cash at same bar in the reception area. Food was lovely but portion was small

Cleanliness, lovely room, pool was good, food was lovely, staff were lovely

The staff in the bar (in the evening) were overwhelmed & slow. It took quite some time to be served & get drinks. It’s probably like everywhere in hospitality- you don’t get the staff. Some of the staff didn’t acknowledge us or said “Hi” but most of them did.

We’ve been a good few times now to the Lyrath & we love it every time. Such a lovely place to spend the NY’s weekend. Most of the staff are very friendly. I particularly like the Spa. It’s such a relaxing experience & all the therapists are well trained & lovely. Breakfast is lovely, good choice of food. We didn’t have dinner this time as we were quite disappointed in the summer. It’s not worth the money. We rather go into Kilkenny & have food there.
