Beautiful place spotlessly clean, staff couldn’t do enough for you. Excellent wedding venue.

I stayed in cottage 5, 3 nights, very cosy, spotlessly clean. Shower and bath excellent. I stayed as guest wedding venue and I must say best I have ever been to. The staff very helpful and obliging, especially manager. Thank you all lovely stay great wedding. Some people just live to moan, and to moan about noice from the wedding you were invited to is unbelievable. And Katy comments from a minor really.

Beautiful Wedding but one star Sleep Experience and understanding and empathy of staff

We stayed overnight at this hotel as we were attending a family wedding, the function room was lovely and food very good. We chose the hotel for our accommodation for the convenience of not having to travel to access a bed for the night, unfortunately this was a big mistake! We were allocated two adjoining rooms in the courtyard in cottage 1, which cost approximately €200 per room for B&B. We were a family of 4. My husband went to bed around 12 as he had to work the next day and had a two hour drive. I went to bed at around 1am. When I went to our bedroom I realised that we had been given the worst room for noise. I may as well not have left the function room as it was like being next to the band!. At 2am I couldn’t take the extreme noise and thump thump of extremely loud music and tried phoning reception twice to see when the music would stop but unfortunately no reply. The music continued until 2.35am and at this stage I was pacing the room with the frustration and annoyance. My husband got about 2 hours sleep as he had to get up at 5am. Furthermore and unfortunately the most disappointing part of my experience was the response from the receptionist when I spoke to her the next more, she was lack lustre, unsympathetic and offered no apology and showed no understanding of our upset. She told me there was no manager available to speak to me, this I believe was an untruth, as I had seen a manager visit the breakfast room and talk to one of the waitresses who had overheard my annoyance when updating my brother on the awful sleep experience. Really poor and unacceptable response from a 5* hotel and by the way I’m still waiting on a manager to phone me as promised by the receptionist! Stay in the Coynagham Arms in Slane Village a short distance away for half the price and no noise pollution or aggravation, they have beautiful boutique bedrooms and great reviews. Such a sour taste left with for a family who attended a beautiful wedding, an apology and a little understanding costs nothing. If we had been told when booking the room initially that there would be a lot of noise from the wedding, we would have respected the hotel more, so unacceptable not to let guests know this!! Ps all of the courtyard rooms experience noise from the wedding venue but ours was particularly bad as it was 3 metres from function room. if you want a relaxed sleep , pick accommodation else where down the road in Slane!…

Dear wwwdoglover1, Thank you for your in depth review of your recent stay with us while celebrating a family wedding. I am disappointed to hear you experienced some grievances during your stay. Should we had been made aware in advance that your husband was to depart early, we would have suggested an alternative room. However this room was allocated to your family as it is an interconnecting room and viewed the most suitable for families and at the best rate. It is worth noting that the noise element being complained about occured out of the function you both as guests were honoured, I am sure, to attend. I have spoken to our receptionist who was on the desk when you checked out and she has assured me she did apologise for any disturbances you encountered. Having hosted wedding for many years, I can assure you noise disturbances are not a common occurrence and “all of the courtyard rooms” do not “experience noise”. I am pleased you enjoyed our venue and found the food very good. Kindest regards, Tadhg Carolan

Daughters Communion

We visited Tankardstown recently to celebrate my daughters communion. We made the unfortunate mistake of entering the reception of the main house as it was our first time visiting. There was a lady lighting candles in the hall of the main house when she finally turned to ask us if we needed assistance, I explained to her that we had a booking for 3pm in the restaurant. She kindly explained that we were in the wrong area so we made our apologies and left. However I was disgusted at the general managers behaviour as she shouted over to him, "it's OK Francis they are in the wrong place, they have a booking in the restaurant" to which Francis replied with a dramatic role of his eyes. He then proceeded to ask my daughter, who was in her communion dress was she getting married today. My daughter proceeded to tell me afterwards that she over heard him saying, "what are they doing here" as we entered the hall, as stared earlier, by mistake. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional behaviour for a five star establishment. Very disappointing experience.…

Dear 895ailishm, I am quite shocked to read of your unfavourable experience with us. This is not the sort of feedback we are accustomed to here at Tankardstown. I will be sure to investigate this further. Please accept my apologies for our team member’s atypical reaction to your mistake in location. I do hope you enjoyed the rest of your afternoon in Brabazon Restaurant. Kindest Regards, Tadhg Carolan

My husband and I had lunch there this week and what a disappointment it was, the food was absolutely awful, I had smoked salmon with potato salad for the starter the smoked salmon was delicious but that's how you buy it in the hard work is already done for you, I had the sirloin stake it was very dry and tough absolutely no flavour and no sauce or duej, the vegetables were watery and tasteless and the mashed potatoes were so watery they ran through the fork and no seasoning .The house wine was excellent 👌, but what a disappointment 😞 I most definitely will not visit again it is such a shame because the ambience is beautiful and the Staff are excellent. Disappointed Diner 😞

Dear Mrs Reilly, I am quite shocked to read of your of unfavourable experience at Brabazon Restaurant. As you will notice from our vast majority of excellent reviews, this sort of feedback is not to our standard. It is worth noting however that you ordered cured salmon opposed to the stated “smoked salmon” which our chefs cure on site and is in no way “bought like that”; on the steak itself you had requested it absent of sauce and cooked to a well done temperature, resulting in the unfavourable representation. It's a shame you didn't bring these grievances to our attention while you were dining with us, opposed to leaving two negative afterthoughts, our team would have happily assisted in any way possible to serve you something more suited to your taste. I am glad you enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant and thank you for acknowledging our excellent staff. Kindest Regards, Tadhg Carolan
