Guest Reviews
- Emma (10/5): -
- Nardulli (6/5): Okay - Breakfast was very good and the setting was very attractive, although the exterior of the building is a little worn I was initially put off by trying to make a dinner reservation, which was important because we had a long travel day and they are isolated geographically. It is impossible to make one on their website, so I texted them three times but not a response. I then called three times before I could get an answer. Also, and this is a comment on all of the places we used through Booking.com on this trip, we were placed in the most inconvenience slot in the hotel. Sometimes it was way at the end of the hall furthest from the elevator. Another time it was in the basement. Another time it was on the third floor, where we had to walk.

- May (10/5): -
- Liam (10/5): -
- Rowan (9/5): Very enjoyable - Wonderful Nothing
- ronan (10/5): -
- IOANNIS (10/5): - EVERYTHING WAS GREAT. BIG ROOM EXCELLENT BREAKFAST NICE LOCATION POLITE STUFF HEATED POOL SAUNA BIKES NOTHING TO COMPLAIN
- Steven (10/5): Relaxed and comfortable stay in a fabulous location and great staff. - Beautiful location, stunning decor. Nothing, it was all fabulous.
- Conor (9/5): Exceptional, luxurious and elegant - Very luxurious. Good was lovely and especially the breakfast in the morning was beautiful. For a 5 star hotel comparing to others I’ve stayed I feel it’s a bit dated and it could be updated further.
- Ann (9/5): -
- Georgia (10/5): Beautiful hotel - Great room and beautiful grounds Thought we had booked into the main building which wasnt very clear on bookings.com that there were two buildings.
- Silvia (10/5): -
- Sean (10/5): - Staff were phenomenal. Could not consider anything too much. Very minor issues
Manor house bar wasnt open when we were sent down there
Too much chlorine in the hottub
- Violet (10/5): A memorable stay , would have liked a bit longer there - Beautiful location , Room spacious and very comfortable.
Staff very friendly and helpful especially the gentleman on the main door of the house , who gave me a tour .
The experience of dining in the Lady Helen restaurant was phenomenal and the head Chef’s tour of the kitchen was very interesting, as a child I use to live on the estate and it brought back lots of memories for me. Nothing except it would have been nice to retrace my steps in Ballylynch but not possible
- Sadhbh (8/5): Manor House and staff there were amazing!! Hound me personally it was a let down - Manor House brilliant Hound area wasn’t impressed, dated, restaurant, lack of choices, overall don’t enjoy hound
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Tom (10/5): -
- Sinead (8/5): - Food and staff Pool, sauna and steam room is very small. Pool area also grubby.
- Anne (10/5): -
- Qi (10/5): -
- Ciara (10/5): -
- Peter (9/5): Nice and relaxing - The location, the rooms and the staff were all very friendly and extremely warm and welcoming. In the swimming pool area in the little "cove" there is a considerable amount of mould present. Given the high standard of the hotel, it was very off-putting to be honest. This means that nobody is going in there and checking on the condition of the roof. Or if they are, they're ignoring the problem which is even more concerning. Overall, I think the wellness space should be much larger given the amount of rooms at the property. Around the pool area there are hardly any seating areas, possibly 10-12 chairs which in my opinion is simply not enough. And given the space available on the estate, I'm not sure why this hasn't been expanded or reconfigured to offer more space for the guests.
- Riccardo P.89 (10/5): Soggiorno meraviglioso durante il tour dell’Irlanda - struttura meravigliosa immersa nel verde a pochi chilometri dalla cittadina di Kilkenny che è raggiungibile in auto in 20 minuti scarsi. Camere stupende, letti comodi, colazione fantastica e super varia.
Struttura dotata di piscina, campo da golf facente parte del circuito internazionale Rolex i prezzi del ristorante interno The Hound in relazione alla cena secondo me sono esageratissimi… propongono dei primi tipo risotto a 30€ al piatto, i secondi tutti sopra i 38/39€, diciamo che oggettivamente seppur cucinate ad arte e deliziose, le pietanze proposte non giustificano assolutamente questi prezzi (ad esempio servono carne di maiale e per il pesce merluzzo o salmone)
- Anna Mooney (9/5): -
- Hermann (9/5): -
- Ann (10/5): - The experience was amazing.
The staff are absolutely outstanding, kind, chatty, extremely friendly & helpful.
We would definitely consider revising Mount Juliet in the future. I didn't stay longer!!!
- Stephen (10/5): - The staff were very nice and helpful with any questions I had. It was a very welcoming as soon as we arrived, the pool area was lovely and the hound restaurant was brilliant. Nothing.

- Wahab (10/5): Fantastic stay. - I had the pleasure of staying here over my birthday, and what could have been just another nice evening turned into something really special. While checking in and chatting with the concierge, I happened to mention it was my birthday – nothing more than casual conversation. Later that night, I was delighted to receive a surprise delivery to my room: a lovely bottle of chilled bubbles and an elegant box of chocolates. It was such a kind, unexpected gesture that instantly put a huge smile on my face and made the whole evening feel extra celebratory. Thank you to the wonderful team for going above and beyond – moments like that are what make a stay truly unforgettable! The duvet proved to be too substantial for my comfort, leading to a night of perspiration and restless sleep. This is primarily my own concern, as I am not accustomed to using a duvet.

- Nora (4/5): Don’t bother - Food made me sick Food , disappointment,
- Therese (9/5): Wonderful - Location is stunning beautiful river and forest walks.
Hotel is beautiful, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and excellent catering for gluten free diet also. Nothing but light switch in bathroom kept tripping. Minor issue that we could manage but other residents may not in the middle of the night. We loved everything else and will be back .
Sauna and pool lovely but I would have looked forward to hydrotherapy jets which were not there.
- robert (9/5): We had a great celebration with 10 family members. Everyone loved their stay - Lovely buildings and grounds.
Bedrooms very nice.
- Emma (2/5): - Room itself was clean enough. Grounds and reception area were beautiful. Wait staff in the restaurant were all really friendly and pleasant. We had a really poor experience at dinner where 2 people in our party were served raw fish. They stopped earing when they realised. We mentioned to the wait staff who took both meals away and apologised but didn't mention it again. When the bill came, the 2 meals were still on it. We assumed they had forgotten. We queried it as it was unusual, and we were told that no, the chef did not agree. The wait staff had seen it was pink, so this was truly bizarre! And not what you'd expect in somewhere like Mount juliette!
The hotel was missing some touches you'd expect to see in a 5 star. In the bathrooms in the restaurant, the soap dispensers ran empty, and one fixture was broken and hanging off the wall. There was nothing to dry your hands with and the bathrooms overall were a bit messy!
Leisure centre was nice but a little bit dated and loungers had mold on them! Again, a bit surprising!
They accommodated gluten free on the menue which was amazing, but i was sick after both meals so I don't believe due care was taken around cross contamination.
Overall, I would say a pretty disappointing experience.
- Lorraine (10/5): - We stay here every Christmas and we love it even more each time.
It’s our favourite hotel in Ireland.
Absolutely beautiful hotel and grounds and the staff are always so lovely.
- Eileen (9/5): Post Chrismas Getaway. - Received upgrade to a lovely garden view room, great bed. Enjoyed the pool, steamroom & sauna. Walking trails & grounds are superb. Didn't like that the Manor House is closed until March for full renovation. Hadn't seen this when booking.
- McCullen (10/5): -
- Donna (8/5): - The rooms were lovely, though a little dark.
Breakfast had a lot of options and was tasty.
The grounds, walks and views are fabulous.
Spa treatments were sublime.
Cocktails in saddle bar were good. Could do with installing a shelf for guests toiletries in the bathroom and an actual hand towel rail instead of having to reach underneath sink.
The dinner i had in The Hound was disappointing. I had the trout which had no flavour and was completely drowned in an overpowering sauce that covered the entire plate. My dessert of tiramisu was so dry and any lacked tiramisu like flavour, I didn't finish it. Not good enough, especially considering the price.
The Saddle Bar lacks atmosphere, it doesn't help that the piped music played in the dining areas and bar is terrible...

- Michelle (10/5): Incredible stay, excellent service. - Spa treatments, restaurants and outdoor walks around the estate were exceptional. The bedroom was a little dark.
- Megan (7/5): - Nice Christmassy feel to it. The pool needs to be warmer. Coffee at breakfast is poor. It was over priced for what it is, disappointed the reservations team was not more accommodating when I had an issue with my booking due to illness
