chrisU23OOWS wrote a review Dec 2023

This 3 star hotel punches somewhat above its weight in terms of dining quality. The preparation and the presentation of mostly locally sourced food, from breakfast to dinner, is top class and easily matches 5 star standards. The chef and kitchen staff really know their business and deserve full marks and wider recognition for their talents. The dinner menu is relatively short but has all the choice you could want. A short menu is a sure sign that the chef values freshness over frozen and this is certainly the case here.

The maitre d' in charge of service was informative, efficient and above all welcoming and friendly. Michelle at breakfast carried on that top class service, adding local knowledge for some of the choices. which was a delight.

Reception staff are very welcoming and obliging for any needs a guest might have. There are home made jams and puddings available at reception for a small charge. There is a comfortable bar, separate to the restaurant, but where you may avail of bar food (don't know if the dining room menu is available in the bar area). Curiously, the bar doesn't appear to have any craft beer taps, but the usual Diageo suspects are available, and the spirits shelves appeared to be well stocked. The bar, lounge and common areas are very comfortable to while away spare time, or wait for breaks in the weather!

Hotel parking is plentiful and convenient. The hotel is in Kilmessan village so shops and bars are less than 5 minutes walk from the hotel entrance. Navan and Trim are the principal local shopping towns and are easily accessible inside 20 minutes drive.

From an accommodation perspective, we can only comment on the Signal Suite, where we stayed 2 nights in December. This room, on two storeys, is cute, quirky and historic and it's what attracted us to book it originally. It was the signal junction box for Kilmessan train station (the Hotel itself is the converted station building). It's slightly detached from the hotel itself, so it's ultra quiet day and night, which is a key requirement for us when we book hotel accommodation. However, in all honesty, it doesn't really work as a practical hotel room, which is a great pity. The bathroom is tiny with little shelf room to place toiletries, and very cramped. There is a very large roll top bath occupying the space in the bedroom that really should have been used for wardrobes. As it is, all storage is downstairs next to the tiny lounge area, and that's an inconvenience. There are two electric heaters, one in the bedroom and one in the lounge, but they were no match for the December weather unfortunately and single glaze windows didn't help.

All in all, a most enjoyable two day escape from Dublin. The Station House restaurant is an oasis of excellence in what can often be a landscape of indifferent, overpriced hotel fare, often hiding behind 5 star badges.

This is a charming hotel where the owners and staff go to huge lengths to provide an excellent stay. One of the owners was on site welcoming guests on our visit - always a good sign. Dinner and breakfast are superb as are the rooms. Would certainly stay here when I return to Ireland.

In the lead up to the initial date we had set, The Wedding Team at The Station House were really helpful and supportive with all of our plans and requirements. We had a lovely evening at the food tasting where we met Chef Mark and he went through the menu with us. We had dietary requirements for a close family member who is coeliac and were reassured by Mark that all precautions would be taken and there would be no cross-contamination. On both the tasting evening and our wedding reception, the food was of a very high standard and everybody enjoyed their meal. We had our wedding booked for January 1st 2022 but due to Covid we had to postpone. The Wedding Team were extremely understanding and supportive and gave us a list of available dates that we could choose from. We had our reception on April 1st and the team at The Station House ensured that the day ran smoothly. From when we arrived they took care of everything and made us feel at ease. We had a short blessing in the Turntable which was decorated beautifully followed by the drinks reception in the piano bar. The canapes were loved by everyone and we had Gluten free scones for our coeliac guests. The Carriage Suite was perfectly laid out and it is truly a beautiful room for a wedding reception. The service for the meal was efficient and the waiting staff were friendly and attentive. Following the meal the staff were quick to get the room ready for the band and served tea and cake mid way through the band's performance. At the end of the night The Station House Shuttle Bus brought guests to their nearby accommodation within a 10k radius. We had a really enjoyable day and cannot speak highly enough of The Station House and their staff. We would highly recommend it as a Wedding venue.

Attending a wedding in December and there was the same theme from when we also got married here in 2021…..the ladies working at the main desk are terrible at their jobs. Absolutely no manners in any way, inhospitable in every way. They would go out of there way to hinder you rather than to help. Rooms at 240€ a night with no working showers in the morning, and there was 5/6 more room that had the same problem that couldn’t be fixed( exactly the same as when we got married 2021). They decided to give customers 50€ back to whoever complained, might be better off putting the money to getting showers fixed once and for all.

We got married here in February 2023, for the year before our wedding the service was above standard and the hotel is absolutely beautiful.

When we arrived the day before to drop off decorations, favors etc. the hotel was being refurbished both indoors and outdoors with our guest rooms being painted, the day before and morning of our wedding. Some of our guest had brought to our attention the strong smell of paint in the rooms and having to open the windows to elevate the smell the day of.

We were dealing with a wedding coordinator right up to a month before our wedding and we were then assigned to another coordinator as our previous one had taken a job elsewhere. We had a number of guests that would be staying in surrounding hotels as the Station House only has 19 bedrooms, when we booked this venue one of the major advantages was the fact that a shuttle bus was provided for our guests that were staying in a 10km radius of the hotel and so we provide this information to our guests on our invitations. Three weeks before our wedding at our final meeting we were then informed that the shuttle bus was actually caught up in a legal case with Mercedes and that it was no longer available, but a car that could take 4 passengers at a time would be available for our guests. As we had a number of guests staying off site guests would have to leave early in order for the car to do enough runs to get them back to their hotels. Unhappy to ask our guests to do this we took it upon ourselves to hire a shuttle bus for our guests at our own expense. However come to find out on the night of our wedding a shuttle bus was back up and running for our guests and this was never communicated to us prior to the day.

With regards to the speakers in the function room, we were very disappointed that the sound system failed during our speeches and we don't know at this point what our videographer managed to capture, surely the sound system would have been checked in advance as there was also issues during the meal with the music.

We also had a number of guests comment on the fact that the bar had run out of draft beer followed by bottle beer so early in the night. When the Coors tap was operational again multiple guests had noticed that it was actually Heineken that was being served through the Coors tap.

When we had checked out the next morning we were given a copy of our bill and we were in fact actually owed money back and that we needed to send on our back details to them and they would refund us. We were away after our wedding so it was about a week and a half later we sent our details. It is now March and we are still waiting on any acknowledgement let alone a reply to our email that outlined the above complaints and to process our refund, we have sent emails and called the reception to be told someone would give us a call back and we have heard nothing.

I would be cautions to recommend the Station House at this stage to any couples looking to get married here as they are very attentive in the build up to the wedding as they are getting your money and custom but the follow up customer service is appalling as they don’t want to know if you have negative feedback it would seem, let alone refund you any monies that are owed.

Responded 17 Mar 2023
Dear Sarah It is with great surprise and disappointment that we read your review, particularly in light of several factors outlined below and that you had previously written to us about the success of your wedding day. As a priority, we would like to correct your statement on the monies not being paid. To confirm, we received your bank details on the 14th February 2023 (via email), and the monies owed were paid by the hotel to you on the 17th February 2023. There are no monies owed by the hotel to you currently nor at the time of you writing your review on the 7th March 2023. All of the requested bar receipts plus a final statement have been emailed to both you and your husband. As we have discussed, we do sincerely apologise for the delay in responding to your original email after your wedding – we have had several members of the wedding and the management teams out sick with flu and COVID during January & February. We did undertake a full investigation into each of your points, and have recently addressed these over the phone (separately with both you and your husband), and again below. We do pride ourselves on the standards and experience that we set for all our couples and their guests on the day. This ethos carries through-out the hotel to all our customers. Your wedding was a very special day for everyone involved, and I would hope that you will return so we can ensure that you have a wonderful experience here with us again. Findings of our investigation: 1) PA system: both PA systems were checked and working perfectly before your ceremony start. They have also worked perfectly prior to, and since the date of your wedding. After we received your original email, we employed an independent sound engineer on behalf of the hotel to check both PA systems; he has confirmed that both systems and microphones are in perfect working order. As we already discussed, your videographer attached 2 mics to our microphone. This would be unusual (usually it would only be 1 mic attached to the microphone); we can only assume that this was the issue on the day, as was also suggested by the sound engineer. As we discussed, it is up to the external suppliers to bring their own equipment. If requesting to use any of our equipment, this should be tested onsite prior to the date of any event or wedding. 2) Paint smell: all our 19 bedrooms were fully refurbished in 2020 and launched in July 2021 (post COVID). We were undergoing some minor paint touch-ups before the date of your wedding to ensure everything was perfect for your day (e.g. a shower ceiling, a hallway door). We received no complaints on check-out from any guests, however we do sincerely apologise if there was any remaining smell from this on your or your guests’ arrival to the hotel. 3) Draft beer: one of the Coors kegs ran out during bar service. Please note it was not all draft beer that ran out as you have written, it was one Coors tap. This was mistakenly changed to Heineken by one of our Bar team however once he communicated this to our Head of Food & Beverage (who was managing your wedding on the day), this was rectified immediately. 4) Regarding the courtesy transport; unfortunately there was poor communication on this from our team to you, and we do apologise for this. As you had raised concerns to your wedding co-ordinator about the courtesy transport that was available for guest use as part of your wedding package (a Mercedes AMG SUV) and as a goodwill gesture, we took it upon ourselves to pre-book and pay for a 3rd party to provide you with transport. This should have been communicated to you prior to your wedding day however I do hope that you can understand that we took every step to look after you and your guests in the best possible manner and the additional transport provided meant that there was no waiting time for your guests. If you would like to discuss any of the points above again, please do not hesitate to contact us. Wishing you both the very best and we do hope to see you in the hotel soon. Kind regards Denise Slattery Manager

A lot of little things, including no working shower, could be ignored, but to have no suitable breakfast for the bride, who is a coeliac is disgusting. Being told gluten free would always be available sold the Station House for the venue. I wouldn't recommend the Station House to anyone now and I know a lot of other guests feel the same. A double bed was given to an elderly lady and her carer daughter, after they specifically requested 2 single beds.

Dear K1883ZLsusanm Thank you sincerely for taking the time to write your review. We genuinely appreciate all feedback from our guests, allowing us to correct mistakes that might be made on occasion, and so we can continue to ensure we deliver 100% to all our customers. We are however confused by your review and would really appreciate it if you could take the time for a discussion so we can understand it further. We have reviewed your review in detail with the Management and the Weddings & Event teams, and we are not aware of any complaints or issues related to what you outline. As a team, we pride ourselves on our personal attention and care of all our wedding couples and guests, therefore for anything like this to go un-noticed or un-checked would be highly unusual. To re-assure you on our gluten free breakfast and meal offering, we regularly provide gluten free options to our guests on request. This is not unusual at all. Many of the options on our Breakfast Menu can be served with gluten free bread as an alternative (e.g. Eggs Benedict options; gluten free bread with the Irish Breakfast etc.). This would usually be clearly explained by the Breakfast manager or team on duty in the morning. You can view all our sample menus on our website under Eat & Drink. Regarding the double bed for the elderly lady and her carer daughter, again, we have no record of this nor any complaint, and would welcome again a further discussion so we can understand it better. Typically for a wedding, the couple allocate the rooms to their family and friends, and we take instruction from the couple in terms of set-up. However, of course we will always do our utmost to accommodate any special requests from our guests. If convenient, please do advise when it suits you to speak (and your number). I look forward to speaking further and hope that we can get to understand the issues you have raised. Kind regards Denise Slattery

A surprise & first time visit to The Station House Hotel for Mother’s Day Lunch. The sun was shining so that’s a bonus when visiting any venue. We were greeted in a very professional manner by the front of house staff and a gentleman in a suit who I think was the restaurant manager or maybe the General manager. He was very friendly and excited to look after us. We were guided to our table. I noticed on the way several tables were enjoying a lovely display of afternoon tea. I’ll be back for that another day.
It’s a real treat for me when the table has crisp white linen table cloths, wine glasses the best of cutlery, simple fresh cut flowers in water and homemade breads awaiting us.
I found it hard to choose from the menu it had very appetising selection of dishes. I ordered the Irish Smokies, Lamb and Chocolate Brownie. All delicious. My lamb was a little grizzly, I think I got the first cut of meat but my husbands was spot on. My husbands highlight was the soup of the day. Our son had the kids Fish & Chips. We were happy to see it was a real proper piece of fish in a light batter. The chocolate brownie, I’m still dreaming of it.
The girls who served could not do enough for us, they all had wonderful smiles and very attentive with eye contact and table service. I also received a personalised Mother’s Day gift when leaving. Nice touch.
We took a stroll around the grounds and through the forested area that must be newly landscaped as they have young box hedging designed in a maize like appearance. Birds singing, fairy lights among the trees. I imagine it to be a very romantic & intimate setting for a wedding party. Lovely to see a couple of fresh herb Parterre growing for the kitchen although the herbs looked thirsty yesterday. I had a peep into their wedding reception room as well which sits just off the main part of the hotel but very much connected with outdoor sitting area between both buildings. A very elegant room with character.
A really enjoyable afternoon for us. Thank you

I wanted to take a moment to share my recent experience during our stay at the Station House Hotel over the Christmas period & I have to say it was a truly memorable experience, from the moment we arrived we felt an immediate sense of warmth & relaxation. The staff's hospitality was unparalleled; they were attentive without being intrusive, making our stay exceptionally pleasant. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated & the most comfortable mattress I have ever experienced with the fluffiest of pillows. We dined in their Award Winning Signal restaurant, the selection on the menu was fantastic, with each dish surpassing the last in taste and presentation. Breakfast was equally impressive & freshly cooked to order. Compliments to all the staff members we encountered. We will most certainly be returning with family in the near future.

The Station House Hotel captivated us with its charming and historic allure, offering cozy rooms adorned with old-world decor that create a welcoming atmosphere. Its transformation from a train station is met with admiration for its cleanliness and historical integrity. The hotel is widely commended for being friendly and professional and we found it to be exactly that.
Both myself and my husband stayed there for a much anticipated friends reunion. We had the most amazing meal in the restaurant which was top shelf. I had the scallops to start and then the hake. Everything cooked to perfection.
We stayed in the Signal Suite and I may add this was a rare treat for us... what's rare is wonderful!!! The detail was flawless
Would thoroughly recommend and I will look forward to returning soon
