We had a lovely stay at Lyrath Estate from the 1st to the 4th of January. The hotel was still decorated for Christmas, which added to the festive feel. The staff were a standout. There were plenty of staff on hand, and everyone we encountered was friendly, courteous and helpful. It was like they embodied the character of the hotel, which was so refreshing and welcoming. The hotel itself is a gem, beautifully merging the old house with the new facilities. The room was spacious, well-appointed, comfortable, warm and quiet. The estate grounds are lovely - we walked the different trails each day. The food was amazing. We ate in the bar & grill, breakfast each day, plus we used the coffee dock. There are food options for all occasions, which added to the enjoyment of our stay. We look forward to staying at Lyrath again.

Pretty property. Beds were ok. Service was not that great in the restaurants. The staff is not well trained to remove dishes, cutlery etc and no one seems to know how dishes are prepared or what liquors are available. :/ Front desk staff and bellmen were incredible. Beyond incredible to be honest. Dermot is a phenomenal human and honestly made my stay there special.
