The hotel itself is beautiful in an amazing setting. Our room was very comfortable with a great bathroom. Our porter (Michael I think) that greeted us when we arrived, was very friendly and helpful. He met us when we checked out as well and helped us plan our day.

Perfect bit of luxury

Simply beautiful and matched by excellent service from all staff members you encounter. We arrived late and welcomed with professionalism and warmth. Rooms, linens and fixtures fittings excellent. Bar and lounge just what you need after a long day. Leo knowledge and charm behind the cocktail bar second to none and the best negroni and setting in a very long time.

Jewel on the Galway coast

Despite the rain, we loved our stay! Front desk, porters, and door man/concierge were super helpful and informative. Our room was lovely, spacious and quiet. Spendy but worth it. Close to town, we were treated like a Lord and Lady! The sitting rooms were gorgeous, perfect to read a book or sip a warm drink by the fire. The "Abbey" was custom built for one of the original ladies of the house who was an invalid. Now it is converted into a beautiful sitting room/game room with gothic touches. My favorite space. Wait staff in the restaurants needed more training - Dinner in the Palmer Kitchen (casual option) went an extra hour as the wait staff seemed to forget us after we ordered starters, and brought us other people's dishes on two occasions, ignored our neighbors. We had to ask for the check three times. Food was good, but needs better management, at least to train newer staff on dining service. Breakfast was generous and tasty, again, waitress never brought our toast after 2 requests. That dining room was elegant. There is also fine dining in the Pullman Restaurant (converted train cars) which I'm assuming has better service. We'll try on our next visit.
