Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Recently attended a wedding in the Clanard. From start to finish everything was exemplary. Staff were friendly and delivered first class service. Food at the wedding and breakfast the following morning was fab. The bedroom was modern and spacious and of course spotlessly clean. Well done to all at the Clanard.

This is by far one of the Best Hotels we have stayed in. The Bedroom was lovely, the bed was really comfortable with lovely soft pillows. The room was spotless. The housekeeping staff, reception staff, bar, and restaurant staff, and catering staff were all so nice, nothing was too much trouble. I could not fault this hotel for anything. We will definitely be back. Thanks to all staff for looking after us so well.
