Lovely food, staff great, very tidy was a great stay
We thought everything was excellent. From checkin to room to spa and restaurants were all of a very high standard. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. I was very impressed and will return again.
The building is beautiful inside and out and is on a gorgeous vast property. Our room was very large and well appointed and clean. The staff were wonderful and the restaurants and bars were fantastic. We highly recommend this property!!
Beautiful lunch in the Grill Bar. Fabulous dinner and Breakfast. Pool and leisure facilities are adequate. Rooms are big, spacious and lobby has lots of airy spaces for working and meeting people.
Lyrath was a gem! Beautiful inside and out, the staff was very accommodating. The grounds were beautiful and our room was more than spacious and comfortable. Would definitely return and plan some “downtime” just to enjoy the hotel’s amenities!
Loved everything about this place. The grounds were amazing, hotel itself was beautiful and our daughter enjoyed her spa time. We ate at the bar and grille and food was very good, the buffet breakfast in the other restaurant was great and late night cocktails at the lobby bar was lots of fun, the staff were all amazing and so friendly especially Sean, the concierge or manager I’m not sure. Would stay again for sure.
Absolutely beautiful property…..gorgeous facility and grounds ….great bar and restaurants.,,,,friendly and helpful staff….. perfect last night for our Ireland trip
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.
Beautiful hotel with excellent service. Staff were so friendly and professional. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. Hotel is beautifully decorated. Lovely walks around the grounds.
It was a wonderful experience staying at the Lyrath. The gracious and helpful employees, the sublime surroundings, the delicious dinner at the steakhouse and our amazing room made our anniversary very memorable.
We hope to be back every time we are home in Ireland visiting family.
We absolutely loved our stay.
