We went away on a romantic spa weekend to this hotel and couldn’t have asked for any better. We went for 2 nights and had breakfast both mornings once in the setanta and another in the buffet style breakfast restaurant. The service in both were second to none. We then had a day of spa treatments on Saturday which were excellent.we used the spa suites before our massage and facial and they were in excellent condition. My masseuse Teresa was excellent and had an extensive knowledge of the products and what would work well with my skin. Since then my skin has been soft and less irritable. The price of the hotel is expensive so we made the most of our stay by using the pool and all amenities including scenic walks around the grounds. They have a range of Elemis products in the rooms and the rooms are immaculate. If you are splashing out on a stay here I would recommend making the most of your visit! I will definitely be back.…

My husband and I spent 2 nights there in July. Rooms are a good size and well kitted out. Our view was of an enclosed courtyard and we were overlooked by other rooms across the courtyard which was not what we would have liked. Food was just okay. The online booking of meals, pools and gym was hit and miss and not coordinated or linked into the central reservations system which meant that is was confused and confusing. Something that struck us as humorous as well as bemusing was that we had to the bring our bikes in through the main entrance to store them safely overnight - the campus is huge and there appeared to be no external lock-up. Luckily our entrance did not coindcie with the wedding that was due to arrive!

Stayed with family in july. Had followed hotel directions of pre booking swimming, dinner and breakfast before arrival. The rooms we were given was on 7th floor. The corridor has coloured markers down the wall. The chair in bedroom broken. The windows not safe as toddler could push out and lend outwards. View was looking onto courtyard to people hanging out washing from bedroom windows. Staff very hit and miss, some are lovely couldn't fault, others extremely rude no interest in talking or helping you. Stayed for 2 nights and not once ever did we see any cleaning staff wiping over surfaces in common areas or the bathrooms for covid restrictions. The main bar needs more staff, floor staff limited and running around bless them. The bar staff same dublin fellas great Craic but worked off their feet. Main issue booked swimming, the staff cancelled our session next day without telling us. Checked email so got cancellation, went back down as them to rectify was assured it was but I checked next day and it wasnt fixed so would have missed swimming again had to ask them to fix it. Not once did they offer an apology for their mistake. After the pandemic everyone is looking forward to a break away, it is a shame such a highly recommended hotel has gone downhill so much. Would never return and would tell others to avoid.…

We recently stayed in the family suite in the Slieve Russell Hotel. The hotel has that wow factor as you drive in. We were staying in room 208 which faced out on to the view of the beautiful water feature you see as you drive in. This room is one of the family suites. It was so handy having 2 bedrooms and my boys loved the bunk beds! Very handy to have a fridge in the room and a big jacuzzi bath. Kids club was a god send. If you sign your kids up that morning they can attend the kids dinner which is included. They loved going in on their own and felt so grown up. We made sure to book the pool so we wouldn't be disappointed. It was clean and not packed with people. I tried to find a dryer to wring out my swim clothes but couldn't find one. ( my only complaint which is very small. ) The dinner in Conall Cearnach on the 1st night was lovely. Staff were very attentive. On the second night we had dinner The Summit restaurant. The restaurant itself didn't have air con and it was extremely hot. Nothing the staff could do obviously. The food was excellent we enjoyed the meal while the kids watched a movie in the kids club. Breakfast was lovely and you have a choice of 2 restaurants with a self service or served to you option. We did both for a bit of variety. We will definitely return. Great stay.…

My fiancé and I stayed here for the first time on Friday for two nights and it did not disappoint. Even though it was the warmest weekend ever, the staff were absolutely fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. They were all presented so professionally and wore their masks at all times (I don't no how they managed it in that heat). My fiancé played a round if golf on the Saturday and I was his caddy lol. He said the course was one of the best he has played and he has played a few!! I absolutely loved the walk around the course, as the scenery was absolutely breathtaking!! We then relaxed in the pool area which was also beautifully presented and very well run, especially with the current restrictions in place. We also had a few drinks in the Kwells bar which had some lovely cocktails on offer, plus a singer on the Friday night which was lovely. We dined in the summit restaurant both evenings and both meals were outstanding, lots of selections and good value for money. The breakfast was also lovely, i really liked that we could help ourselves to juice, cereal and pastries, but were also able to order our cooked food from the menu, which meant it was fresh and warm. The only thing I would change and this is me just being picky is the thermal spa, unfortunately you can only use it if you book a treatment and even then its an extra €20. I wouldn’t have minded paying the extra but wasnt allowed as we didnt want a treatment. However this could only be due to the current restrictions in place, not sure. Overall though it is one of the best hotels I have had the pleasure to stay at and will def be back in the future.…
