Wonderful time, hotel is gorgeous, the staff all wonderful! But in particular Mr. Brian Sutton such a helpful, polite, gentlemen and sweetest man ever met in our lives! We give him an EXCELENT PLUS!!!
We loved our stay. Room was great, the property was awesome. But the food….was some of the best we have ever had. We ate at the Carriage house, Kathleen’s Kitchen, the Pantry, and the breakfast buffet. Seriously the best culinary experience I’ve ever had. We will be back and I will be recommending the Carton House to anyone who will listen.
Great spot to stay! The entire property is amazing. We did use the pool and to be honest the kid pool was a little gross. There were black specs floating from the grout. Otherwise, unbelievable hotel. Would stay there again.
The grounds of the property were beautiful. We did not golf, but both golf courses looked amazing. We used the tennis court and the spa facility which was also very nice. We had dinner at the Carriage House which was very good. The hotel was only 30 minutes from Dublin Airport so this is a great spot to stay if you want to avoid the city but you want to be close to the airport. We did not do this because we were only there for 1 night but the staff told us you can walk to town mostly through the property grounds and there were some good restaurant options in town.
Beautiful old world property that was meticulously maintained. Staff was very friendly and helpful. This experience was all we hoped for. Highly recommend.

Excellent rooms, fantastic staff and delicious food. Pool and gym facilities excellent
Best hotel I have ever stayed at. Only negative thing I can say is it gets to be expensive, as other dining options are far away. But restaurants are very good so they can kind of back up the prices. But loved the hotel and hope to go back!!
Wonderful location and property. Staff were so attentive, greeting us you upon arrival and throughout our stay. They went out of their way to ensure we were having a great stay. Super clean, comfy beds, great food, amenities walks, views, such a wonderful place.
I was only booked for three nights and ended up staying for 6, ha ha....be back again on my next trip
This was the most delightful hotel stay I have ever had. What a gorgeous property! Rooms were beautiful and immaculate, including blackout curtains and a lovely bathtub. Room service brought a pop-out table! And, we adored the breakfast, sauna, pool, and gym. We sure hope to be back again someday.

An excellent stay! Carton House is a great place to spend your holiday. Many activities, excellent staff, great dining and drinking options. Deifinitely recommended!
Breakfast location has moved to golf house but found it, attentive staff but not very obvious how to gain breakfast and order. Tracked someone down eventually. Good buffet selection and nice fresh omelette. Room was too warm, temp controls must have been in there somewhere so didn’t sleep well. Lovely location
Everything about the property surpassed our expectations. The property was beautiful and clean and very well kept. The cuisine was delicious especially Kathleen's Kitchen which we dined at 3 nights. The Carriage House Pantry had the best cappuccino I've ever had and they offered a wide range of food options for breakfast and lunch. The spa was incredible and quiet with full use of the pool, hot tub and steam room/sauna. The staff was AMAZING too many to count but some of the memorable ones were, Ann (Manager) Jake, Terrance, Brian, (doormen/concierge) Katie (masseuse) wait staff in Kathleen's and so many others. I would say the only thing missing is a gelato bar in the lobby. Other than that if you are looking to stay just for golf or as a couple looking for a quieter stay this is the place! It's rich with history and you can almost feel the aristocrats there with you as you walk the halls.
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.
