Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Great experience! Laurence was informative about the birds and the art of falconry. The location is outside of Dublin so you definitely have to have transport. I didn’t plan the transportation well so I was going to have to cancel. However, when I explained to Laurence that we didn’t have a ride to the train station, he so kindly offered. So not only was the falconry great but the hospitality as well. Well done Laurence!

    Very interesting museum, the staff was very kind and willing to tell me about everything on display, we went to the spot where Kynox once stood and it was very nice.

    Went brought 2 year old, lovely little spot to kill a few hours. The staff are very friendly , lovely man called Jim was especially nice. He brought around the animals for the children to play with. Alot for the little ones to do from swings & slides to feeding the animals to playing on the converted bus. Little tractors & trikes for the kids to use. There is a nice seating area & a coffee shop if you wanted to order food & drinks. Thankfully it didnt rain so my little lad had great fun & didnt want to leave. You recommend bringing your child/chrildren.

    We visited the glenart on 30th of october- apart from the waiting around outside it was brilliant. Very well prepared, costumes were fantastic. Both staff at the beginning of the train were great. The girl played her character exceptionally well. We will definitely be visiting again

    It's OK for a quick look round shops and it has a cinema. The car park is €2 for all day, so very good if you spend time shopping and at cinema.

    A venue like no other in Irish golf. Crossing the railway line by foot, you embark on 18 wonderful stops. The setting is amazing.....a verdant valley ringed by the Avoca river. It's a series of unending joys. The final two holes demand maximum concentration, or else a wtaery grave awaits! The wonder of Woodenbridge. It took me many years to find it. Can't waut uintil I return.

    A modern building conveniently situated on the High Street. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is a good local studies collection on the upper floor.

    while staying in the arklow bay hotel we visited the coral leisure centre right outside the hotel. actually, it feels like it is a part of the hotel.
    my husband was celebrating a big birthday so after an awsome time in the hotel we took a leisurely dip, sauna and steam room. I used the jacuzzi. Totally relaxing, friendly staff and was not too full of children (which was great as we were on a romantic break)

    lovely place and very clean
    very friendly statt
