    There seemed to be an unfinished feeling. E.g. no seats in the stunning grounds to sit on. Bit of a lack of organisation. I asked for a menu for dinner but it didn’t come. I then found there should have been a room directory but I didn’t have one. There was no housekeeping. Some hotels tell you in advance that this will happen. It’s good to know. Especially if it’s an expensive place.

    Gorgeous grounds. Great shower. Lovely breakfast, especially the wheaten bread!

    A wonderful stay in a beautiful country house in a great location. Perfect for a relaxing break.

    The only thing amiss is a vegetarian option on the cooked breakfast offerings. A vegetarian fry offering potato bread/soda bread, savoury pancakes, vegetarian sausages etc. in place of bacon, egg and sausage would have been a nice option.

    Rockhill House is a beautiful country house in a great location. The rooms are full of period features, character and old world charm. There are lovely drawing/sitting rooms where you relax in the evenings after having a meal in the nearby 'The Church' restaurant. We found the staff to be very friendly and welcoming and would highly recommend Rockhill House for a relaxing weekend. We will certainly return.

    I was asked at check in if we had any allergies which I then advised I was coeliac. Staff at breakfast were so nice but had very little knowledge of gluten free options. I was told there were no pastries just gluten free toast. The menu isn’t clear, nothing dictates that it is gluten free. I asked our waitress and was told everything could be made gluten free so I was delighted and ordered pancakes. After about 10 minutes she returned and I was told pancakes couldn’t be made gluten free, the only option was a full Irish so I went with this. My full Irish consisted of 2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon and fried potatoes. It was very nice but definitely not a full Irish, missing some items. Definitely an area that let the property down and could be improved. Being a coeliac isn’t a choice unfortunately. Also tea and coffee being served from flasks wasn’t ideal. A little pot would have been much nicer. Not something you expect from a property of this calibre.

    The room was absolutely beautiful, I have never slept in such a comfortable bed. I didn’t want to get up! Receptionist was very warm and welcoming at check in. The property itself was just beautiful, the interiors are outstanding! Our room was immaculate!

    We were asked about was there any special event while we were staying. It was my partners birthday but it wasn't mentioned. Just wondering why the question is asked just a small query

    Everything was superb as usual. Colleen in the spa was so nice and went out of her way to talk us and helped with a future booking. Grace was really helpful with sorting our wedding plans and questions

    The maintenance should do a bit better,like in our room we had broken shower,broken wardrobes doors,broken cascade button in SPA

    The place is stunning,design,centerpieces,sculptures,furniture…it’s very classy,aristocratic and with attitude. Smell of wood in the evening which comes from fireplace,relaxing atmosphere,calm people with good manners,for a moment I felt like in the Victorian era movie.

    Unfortunately, Front-of-House is let down by pure customer service. For example, no one there, at arrival or leaving. Bar prices change depending on who served you. This is just a wonderful place let down with a few simple things that need addressed Also, please upgrade the napkins in the restaurant. The paper ones are just so cheap and in keeping with breakfast room in the main house.

    The house is just fantastic, decorated to an amazing standard with small touches of classical themes on every turn, and totally could not fault the beautiful premises.. outstanding 😀 Plus.. lovely thoughtful food gift, left in our room, as it was my wife's birthday. It was really appreciated so much.😘

    Amazing house, perfection. Stayed in a junior suite, four poster bed with a roll top bath and huge shower. The food is fantastic from dinner at the Church through to afternoon tea and breakfast in the main house. All the staff were fantastic. You simply must stay here if you get the chance.

    Hanging space for clothes in the bathroom & somewhere to put your toiletries etc. Breakfast was lovely but only wee niggle was that the tea & coffee were in canisters, I think it took away from the grandeur of the location, individual teapots on your table would have been much nicer.

    Beautiful location. Courtyard rooms were absolutely stunning, beautifully decorated. Super comfy beds. Lovely little touches like the coasters, glass & bottle of water in the bedrooms. Food in the Church restaurant was fabulous. Staff were all amazing, especially in the restaurant.
