"Incredible woodland garden"

9.0

The woodland garden here is staggeringly beautiful. You need to leave at least 1 hour to take it all in. The house itself is charming, presented well, and everything was clean. A Thai restaurant out here seemed a little unusual but it was great, particularly the plate of starters for two that we had. We didn't catch her name but the Portuguese girl who was waitress and receptionist needs a special mention - hard working, high spirited and very welcoming. But just to return to the garden because it is the highlight of this hotel and what an amazing job they have 👏

Water pressure in the sink was very low (although in the shower it was fine). The only other thing we didn't like was leaving!

"Fantastic! Unique stay in a classy country mansion"

Very well maintained mansion house set in beautiful gardens, tucked away from busy roads - so peaceful. Excellent attention from the staff and top notch service at the restaurant. A highlight of our entire trip to Ireland.

"Excellent"

8.0

Location, gardens, beach, & wonderful flavours from the Thai Restaurant. Also great to see all of the Chelsea Flower Show awards, especially King Charles thanking them for their input in helping to plant out Highgrove and signing off as 'Charley'.

A few cobwebs.

Kayla was a wonderful host when we arrived. Bill assisted us by phone when we were stopped on the motorway and re-routed due to the protests. This was very helpful.

"Kells Bay - a hidden horticultural gem!"

10.0

Old building in stunning gardens. Stayed in the Alexander Suite - lots of room, all the modcons yet character retained. Pad Thai was excellent and definitely worth the diversion from the Kerry Way - best stay of all!!
