Spent a surprise night here last weekend for our fifth wedding anniversary and enjoyed it immensely. On arrival we were warmly greeted and shown to a lovely drawing room and given coffee and macaroons! As it was our anniversary we were kindly assigned the 'honeymoon suite' which was bright, extremely roomy and included a fab double corner bath and separate... More

Travellers..if you are coming to Ireland from abroad you HAVE to come here. Everything about The OC is simple, authentic & unassuming. The food & level of service is totally unexpected & absolutely outstanding. I love food, however my husband is a tad picky, not a lover of tasting menus, finds them too fussy & intimidating! So the eight course... More

Have visited the old convent for the 2nd time. Great place to escape from it all. Thew food here is the highlight however.The menu is full of locally sourced delicious ingredients cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend a visit to this gourmet hideaway! Great scenery and walks to explore in the surroundings also!

The best hotels aren't made of bricks and mortar, but love and commitment to an idea. Back in 2006 Christine and Dermot Gannon had an idea to turn an old Convent into a hotel with a nun theme and seven years later the idea is a stunning success.

My husband and I were given a voucher for our wedding to visit here which we did for our first wedding anniversary. From the second we arrived we knew we were due a wonderful time.

It's astounding how hospitable, polite, conscientious, considerate, welcoming, client focussed, attentive, responsive and enthusiastic Christine, Niamh and all the staff at The Old Convent are! I...

My financé and I stayed here for one night as part of a deal. €100 per person for bed and breakfast and their 8 course tasting menu. We were not disappointed. Tea/coffee and handmade chocolate treats on arrival seems to be standard. The sitting room was delightful. Comfy seats made for couples and coffee table books about. Our room was... More

This really was the most wonderful experience from the moment we walked through the main door until we left. The hospitality was warm and everything about the place exuded calm and relaxation. Our room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. And then there was the food. I am not sure I have the words to describe how wonderful it was.... More

If you stay here you should arrange your stay around the once a month gourmet dinner. It was incredible!!! An unforgettable, not to miss experience! The location was beautiful and the staff were warm and helpful! We enjoyed strolling in the gardens around the Old Convent.
