Carton House a Fairmont Managed Hotel

We were very impressed with the very friendly and welcoming staff, the beautiful surroundings and the food. We arrived a little bit early, with our toddler. They managed to accommodate us and while we waited we were at the strange time just after breakfast bur before lunch. One of the staff members went off the kitchen and managed to get some pastries for us which was really appreciated. The team seemed genuinely interested and friendly and we felt very at home. The meal in Kathleen’s kitchen was lovely, again great service and food prepared with passion and care. The cocktails at the bar were unique and very good. The property is extensive, very well kept and really interesting with loads to explore. We’ve stayed in a few 5 star hotels at home and abroad, and this is definitely right up there. It’s a real gem. I’m looking forward to our next visit!

The property was gorgeous. Staff were excellent. It was so peaceful. Everything was so luxurious. Wish we had more time to explore everything on offer.

Amazing overall.

We’ve never stayed at a 5 star hotel before so felt a bit out of our element. No one treated us as such though. The staff was amazing. The place was beautiful. The meals were incredible. You got to learn the history of the place in multiple ways. Location would have been easier if we’d had our own car, but it was well worth the extra effort to get there via taxi/train combo.

Stunning. A super blend of modern luxury with old fashioned luxury.

This is one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed at. The grounds were stunning. The accommodations were well appointed and comfortable. The manor house was stunning and the staff was a pleasure.

Absolutely beautiful property. Be sure to take the tour of the house. Breakfast was delicious and lots of options. The staff was so friendly. Close enough to Dublin. We would absolutely stay there again.

I upgraded my room and it was nice and spacious. There were a few small things that weren't quite right with it, though. The shower gel was empty, some of the sachets in the tea/coffee box hadn't been replenished, etc. Reception staff were lovely, the floor staff in the bar seemed over-worked and (understandably) stressed.

Beautiful hotel, we were there for NYE, food was excellent however, the bar was understaffed and there were no chairs for people to sit after dinner, no staff seem to have the common sense to get chairs for people v odd was there was lots of space for them, a v expensive night away to have no seat seems unbelievable really. There were only a few family tables and a few stools at the bar, they really need to prepare based on number of bookings. The bar manager was v nice & he was severely under pressure with guests complaining, very unfair on the staff.

The hotel was beautiful! The staff, especially Brian at the front door and Sinead at the front desk were incredibly friendly and welcoming! Massage, biking, and restaurants were good. Only issues were with the pool and jacuzzi area. Found used bandaids on the side of the pool. Around the jacuzzi it was slightly flooded with standing water that flowed into the sauna. Needed to be drained and cleaned better. Otherwise wonderful hotel.
