The room was a good size and amenities were fine. Two issues though. The building is a fairly new build and they have Air Conditioning in the public areas like the restaurant but failed to have any climate control in the rooms. So the windows had to be left open (didn't help much) and there were constant weddings with bands and noise outside the windows. Uncomfortable for sleeping. Also, after a day of touring there is no food service after 9 PM. no chef available so no room service. not even a sandwich. Food was good but not outstanding. Friendly staff.

Great hotel setting and couldn’t fault the quality of the hotel, rooms, service and facilities as a wedding venue. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel grounds provided excellent walks in a woodland environment. The wedding catering was just perfect and the castle itself was the perfect location, slightly away from the main hotel, for the party to continue as long into the night as desired. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely brilliant!
We had a lovely room overlooking the walled garden. We ate in the bistro and on the 2nd night enjoyed their tasting menu. Both meals were excellent and I can highly recommend the 7 course tasting menu. Staff are so friendly and everywhere is kept very clean and to a high standard. Plenty of walks from the castle into Slieve Gullion forest park. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
