This hotel is situated in beautiful south Tipperary with a hillside location and gorgeous view of the mountains. It's an old hunting lodge that was converted to a hotel many years back and still holds plenty of that charm today. The hotel itself is quaint, a little old fashioned, as expected but perfectly comfortable with everything you would need. A car is needed to get around though as outside country walks, every other activity is a car drive away. What makes this hotel and the comfort of your stay however is the welcoming friendliness of all the staff. Every single one of them enhance your experience in staying there. John and Annekas warm welcome on reception, Trish and Cathal in the bar are so kind. Trish is an absolute lady and a wonderful personality bringing her unique charm, and Liam overseeing it all making sure each guest is taken care of. I had a few requests due to elderly parents coming for lunch and worried about dining with lots of folks around, and with attention and care, we were taken care of. Overall a wonderful stay and can't wait to go back to the cosiness of warm winter fires, and Irish coffees. See you soon. …

First impression pretty bad instant u walk in place stinks of mold rooms smell like an old folks home carpets full of stains rads covered in rust. The pictures a very misleading pool is tiny I'd give half a star rating if I could. We called ahead to book pool staff gave 5:30 slot turns out they had swim lesson booked couldn't use pool plus we are visiting family sister and son not staying at hotel wanted to join us for a swim was told by reception there not allowed but when we arrived it turned out they gave wrong info and they could have came with us. Just an overall horrible experience do yourself a favor go somewhere else.

A charming little Irish lodge with fantastic food. This is a great romantic spot on the way to the west of Ireland. The rooms are modest size, no AC but the cool country air can be let in through the windows. The curry at the bar is wonderful, the staff is sweet and plenty of parking.

The night I was there, just a few days ago, roughly two dozen children aged 8 - 12 were allowed to run wild until midnight. They raced through the halls, climbed the window sills in the halls, threw candy wrappers and ground baked goods into the carpet. But mostly they were just very very loud, for a very very long time. No parents were in sight until they returned to their rooms, loudly, after 2am. The staff were completely overwhelmed despite complaints from numerous guests, they were unable to restore order. I got almost no sleep. The restaurant was closed that evening so I ate in the pub, the food was terrible. The next morning I had breakfast early and again the food was poor. In the morning, water was pouring from a leak in the lobby ceiling into several large pails, perhaps one of the unsupervised children had let a bath overflow. I felt bad for the staff who were not to blame but the hotel simply failed to do its primary job, provide a restful night and decent food. I was offered nothing for my trouble when I told the desk about what had happened. In fact the desk clerk acted as if she had had no idea. I would never stay here again.…

First impressions very positive. Panoramic view of the Knockmealdown Mountains from the front and from our room. The public rooms, restaurant and bar are tastefully furnished in a country house style. The bedroom was a little on the narrow side but understand there is a choice of larger rooms, so probably wise to ask before hand if this is a concern. As a previous reviewer pointed out some of the paintwork on the windows and grouting in the bathroom is tired but overall a quiet and comfortable nights sleep. Sadly the Leisure Centre needs a complete revamp. The pool and gym equipment are fine but the changing rooms and decor are worn and tired. I booked a swimming session but was made to feel unwelcome by a lady giving swimming lessons. There was room for both. We had a very enjoyable meal in the bar with friends, lovely tasty food and a pleasant ambiance. Breakfast was cooked to order and excellent. Wifi worked well and there is plenty of on site parking. The staff without exception were friendly and helpful. A great location to explore all the local sites. Would definitely stay again in a larger room, the small issues described can probably be addressed once the trauma of Covid has passed and the financial future of the Lodge is assured .…

We visited the hotel for lunch after a long trek on the Galtee Mountains on 21 April. The layout and style in the hotel are notable with large windows overlooking the Knockmealdown Mountains to the south. The decor , old furniture, paintings, colour scheme are all very attractive still. The lunch of soup and chicken salad was excellent. The staff were courteous and well dressed. It must be a wonderful venue for a wedding or a family party. Recommended as a base for hill walkers or those visiting South Tipperary, Cork.

Wanted to say we loved the experience, wanted to give Kilcoran 5 stars, but felt sad to see a terrific hotel has lost its sheen. Having read previous reviews, I have been surprised by the tone adopted by the management. The purpose of feedback is surely to learn where improvements can be made. Yes,occasionally some people like to complain over everything, but looking at several pages of comments here, I can see a common thread, that backs up our own experience and would suggest that resistance from management to hearing it is a poorer advertisement than the criticisms themselves. Guests have paid good money to visit, they have a right to expect high standards, plus they have selected your hotel from the hundreds they could have chosen. They do not want to spend their break complaining to staff or requesting things. It is your job as management to ensure that your guests have everything they need, that everything is in working order. They are paying for the expectation of a stress free visit .By leaving a review, they are also are taking the time to consider and tell you about their experiences, the positive and where they have had issues. For our visit, the staff were the highlight of our visit and they are all professional, hard working and friendly. Kilcoran has some lovely qualities. Downstairs, the public areas are lovely. Cosy little private areas and tastefully furnished. Really nice welcoming atmosphere. Food was mostly good. The cooked breakfasts were excellent, quality produce, and presented well. More attention could be paid to the cold breakfasts. Fresh fruit in a bowl would be appreciated, tinned fruit doesnt appeal to everyone. Meals in general were good, although the cod+chips for €17 were more like a child's portion,would just about fill a side plate, a very small fillet and small amount of chips, but well cooked with a nice tartar sauce. Where we took issue was the room we were allocated. While giving a lovely view, the bedroom was shabby, a cracked shelf, unclean glasses, general tiredness and costs appeared to have been cut on silly things. No room servicing due to Covid, but this shouldnt be still relevant in April 2022. One mean thin ply toilet roll for a couple of days stay? Thin towels, one per person. On first inspection everything was superficially ok, but sloppy paintwork showed rust coming through. A deep clean is needed too, carpets, throws, cushions, bath seals, broken sockets, etc., could all do with attention. The leisure centre is adequate, again, lovely staff, but it needs a lot of maintenance, lumps of wood missing from door frames, the cubicles dirty, locks not working. Pool is quite small but it is very warm. Overall our sense on leaving the hotel was that the owners are not investing any more in upkeep, that the staff are gamely carrying on, and it is a real pity, as the hotel and carpark were full of guests and potentially business could be booming with a bit of marketing. A tie in to the caves is an opportunity missed, also the local sites and walks could be promoted. Kilcoran is in a superb location and is close to some very popular tourist attractions. One tip for the owners, one could cut costs by lessening the water pressure in the rooms, and lower the thermostat. Piping hot water coming through in a torrent is not necessary, nor heating on all night. Invest in maintenance and give guests the quality facilities they should expect. Also reward the staff, they work hard and are your best asset Pros. The quality of produce, the view and the professional courtesy of all the staff. Cons. The obvious penny pinching on maintenance and guest comfort…
