All staff are incredibly polite and helpful. Food and service in la perla is excellent. Food and service in Yindees also very good. Great to have... More

My wife and I stayed at the Lyrath Estate Hotel & Convention Center as we traveled through Ireland, and it is definitely a five star hotel. We walked all over the grounds of the hotel, and the grounds are very well kept. We had a wonderful experience at the hotel, and the only thing that surprised us was that when... More

We had a one night stay there at the start of June 2013 and from the moment we stepped inside the door, the peace descended. We were checked in promptly and it was nice to be upgraded upon arrival. This was probably due to the large number attending weddings on this day and on the next day. Our room was... More

Lovely hotel with immaculate surroundings. However it's a 10 minute drive out to town but didn't need to leave the compound with good room service and activities in the hotel area ( walking, movies, free bikes, great bar and a spa).
