"Great stay. Very warm welcome from receptionist. Hotel was spotless in lovely location beside the river Barrow. Food was delish. Highly recommend."

"Really enjoyed our stay here the place is stunning with loads to do. Enjoyed a couple of pints in the castle by the fire and had a great breakfast the next day. The lodges are huge and very well maintained. A real getaway "

"Room was really spacious, the beds were extremely comfortable and breakfast was perfect for the price we paid! "

"We had a lovely stay at Lyrath Estate from the 1st to the 4th of January. The hotel was still decorated for Christmas, which added to the festive feel. The staff were a standout. There were plenty of staff on hand, and everyone we encountered was friendly, courteous and helpful. It was like they embodied the character of the hotel, which was so refreshing and welcoming. The hotel itself is a gem, beautifully merging the old house with the new facilities. The room was spacious, well-appointed, comfortable, warm and quiet. The estate grounds are lovely - we walked the different trails each day. The food was amazing. We ate in the bar & grill, breakfast each day, plus we used the coffee dock. There are food options for all occasions, which added to the enjoyment of our stay. We look forward to staying at Lyrath again."

"Staff was great, parking was easy. We stayed on a Saturday night and the bars didn’t close until 2a, so it was loud in our room until then, but next time we know to just stay up instead. 😉"
