Have to say this is a 5 star hotel in every sense of the word . Staff- top quality , hotel and decor - top quality , grounds - breathtaking . If I had one recommendation to improve this even further would be to renovate the pool area and make it more of a spa destination . Apart from that couldn’t fault it .

Hotel's Favourite
We stayed in early April for a special birthday break. From the moment we arrived I was struck by the level of luxury and elegance on hand. After check in we were shown to our beautifully appointed suite which was super comfortable and had everything we needed. We ate in Kathleen’s, and chose to sit near the kitchens, this allowed us to watch the chefs as they worked, which was fun. Food was amazing as was the service. After a very good sleep, it was down to the restaurant for breakfast. No buffet here, service was fantastic as was the quality and quantity of the food. Anything that you could possibly want was available, and served in the most beautiful surroundings. Had a tour of the Old House from Brian Cotter, a must do for all guests. The history is fantastic and Brian’s enthusiasm makes it that little bit special. Thanks Brian, we learned a lot. After a bracing walk around the enormous gardens we lunched at the Carriage House, again the food was fantastic and Richard did a fantastic job of looking after us. Extensive on site facilities include Spa, Pool, Golf Course, Gym. Everything is to hand. A special thanks to Brian for all his efforts and Harry Glynn for making our stay so special. The level of service stands out, those that work here are very well trained and perform their duties to the highest of standards. We had the most fantastic experience and look forward to our next visit. Our thanks to all, Leah…

I could not recommend this treatmemt more, my therapist was brilliant, she explained the treatement, listened to me when I told her my problem areas, and was the 1st therapist to apply the correct pressure after asking me what level of pressure I preferred. After the treatment I was given a goodie bag of samples , glass of bubbles and a some sorbet, definietly these small touches added to the experience.

We just had the most relaxing, pampered and rejuvenating few days here. I cannot emphasise how well the staff treated us and pre-empted what would make us comfortable. From greeting to departure we were made feel like we were the sole focus of care. Thank you to John and the restaurant chefs and waiting staff for the fabulous food and attention. Big praise to the concierge Ryan who took us on a tour of the historical rooms and gave us an insight into the rich cultural heritage of the house. To everyone else, those little gestures of attention topped the cake for us on what was already a treat. Many thanks to everyone here for what will be remembered as a proper restful break away after a hectic Christmas. x

We took our Team of 16 away to Fairmont Carton House for our annual Kick off event this January. Every part of the experience from the warm welcome on arrival, followed by a very quick and easy check-in, outstanding meeting facilities with the most helpful conference & events team, to the stunning surroundings of the Carriage House for lunch and dinner that evening in Kathleen's Kitchen. The menu was off the charts and choice of wines naturally superb too. Every touchpoint with the hotel from enquiery to booking to their team on the ground was world class. Breakfast in the Morrison Room was out of this world served in the 17th century former ballroom! Would highly recommend Fairmont Carton House.

We a pleasure to stay in Carton House for my birthday. It was a fabulous and relaxed weekend! The whole journey started at the time I contacted hotel and got to chat with Olivia. She was so helpful and professional. Olivia went an extra mile to assure everything will be perfect. She did all her best to assure the times for our SPA treatments, dinner and breakfast will be just as we needed and everything was confirmed as agreed. I would like to pass the biggest thanks to the ladies working in SPA as they were amazing. We had a fabulous afternoon over there. It was a real pleasure to stay in such a beautiful place and meet so many nice people working there *****
