A little out of the city perhaps, about 15 minutes by car. Staff were excellent as was the turn-down service. Rooms were large well appointed and comfortable. The restaurant and bar were very good indeed. There is a leisure center with small pool, good hot tube and a very good steam room. This hotel is difficult to fault. More

Went to the Lyrath Estate last weekend for one night, I had read a few of the bad reviews so my expectations weren't too high. We were greeted by really helpful and friendly staff members at the check in desk, they offered to order a taxi for us as we told them we were going to the Keith Barry show... More

Very disappointed with the poor wi fi ... Not available in rooms only in lobby .. It only works on one side of the bar. Eventhe lobby has poor signal . This is not really great for a hotel used by business travellers. For a four star hotel and 95 euro for the night on a Monday you would expect... More

Now the negatives: Lunch was slow arriving which then meant we had to rush through dessert to avail of our beauty treatment in the Spa. Spa treatment was 20 mins long,... More

At first glance, the Lyrath looks like it's an old Irish manor house...but it's actually a bit of a super-hotel. It has very nice and clean bedrooms, but there's no real old-world touch to it. The old rooms that are there are very beautiful, but the majority of the public space seems to be newly built. I didn't dislike it,... More

We booked into Lyrath for New Years Eve having stayed there for a night in August 2011 and could not wait to go back. As with our first visit, the staff and the rooms at Lyrath cannot be faulted. We had a great meal on new years eve (although dinner in the bar the next night - which as another... More

The bedrooms are pleasant, but the best thing about this hotel, is that it is so close to Kilkenny, well worth visiting. It is a... More

We stay at the Lyrath at least twice a year to relax and unwind, it is a 5* hotel but a relaxed atmosphere, no pressure to dress up etc. Staff always obliging and helpful. Breakfast is a highlight as well as the piano playing in the evening. See you again this year! More
