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

Stayed overnight in the hotel on a package deal, but overall experiance did not provide value for money. So the positives: Beautiful location, spacious bedrooms, friendly (if overworked) staff. 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.

We had a great meal on new years eve (although dinner in the bar the next night - which as another... More

I have stayed in this hotel on a number of occasions with work, but I would recommend it, as it have lovely grounds for walking around, the staff are lovely and the food was fabulous. 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
