Guest Reviews

• Claire (10/5): Peaceful & relaxing. - Location, staff, food…all excellent. Beautiful hotel. Tv in the room hard to see from bed. It was over in the corner of the wall. Would love to have had Netflix on the tv. Taps in bathroom sprayed out water so got soaked a few times. But all very minor.
• Peggy (9/5): - Staff,service.location.food. Pillows and bed were quite hard.
• Goldstream (9/5): - Well maintained hotel. Staff very good. Food excellent. Nothing to dislike
• Gillian (10/5): Good hotel staff friendly and really enjoyed my stay - Lovely hotel and beautiful gardens Food was delicious
• Linda (10/5): Stay for 2 days it is a beautiful hotel staff are very friendly and if you are into golf the hotel is for you , but over - Hotel was lovey and very clean , beautiful bedrooms It a bit out of the way you have to drive but it was ok for us
• Hans-Georg (10/5): - Gute lage, freundlches und hilfsbereites Personal gutes Sportangebot durch Golf Schwimmbad. Frühstücks Buffet war gut
• Mike (9/5): - Lovely breakfast, room large and clean. Good value Bar food menu selection limited
• Johan (8/5): -
• Ray (7/5): very nice short break getaway - Great breakfast , lovely location could hear chatting in adjacent room , constant banging of doors
• eibhlin (5/5): - The location was excellent and very beautiful. There was no WiFi in any of the 3 rooms we booked. A necessity that meant I had to sit downstairs to access and reply to work emails. Staff explained a booster was needed but I felt we should have been informed on arrival. There was no information sheet in the rooms advising guests of times for breakfast, leisure centre, bar nor local beauty spots. The tea/ coffee sachets were poor for the price of the hotel. Two sachets of coffee was skimpy. We repeatedly ask for more ice with our drinks in the bar. This was at 4pm. We were given 5 ice cubes in a pint glass. Despite asking for a pint of ice cubes with our large drink order we were given the same limited amount of ice. We eventually offered to pay for ice. Waiters explained there was enough ice to cover demand. To be fair, there was a wedding in another part of the hotel. Also, the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in.

• Leah (7/5): - The interior of the hotel is lovely. The service in the bar is very slow. Dont be in a hurry. We were a large group, waited over an hour for our dinner to be served with small children. Beds are very uncomfortable and the pillows are just as bad. Have stayed at this hotel before this weekend but would be reluctant to stay here again.
• Sara (8/5): - Lovely setting and Leisure Center Bed was very hard!

• Brian (6/5): - Location The room beside the elevator and hallway, where guests stopped to wait and chat with other guests . Need better soundproofing for the doors
• Des Jones (9/5): -
• Imelda (9/5): Looking forward to returning for longer stay. - Brekfast was superb. Dinner in restaurant was excellent. Enjoyed all the more due to the inter action of the staff. Nothing.
• Gleeson (10/5): - Beautiful hotel. Magnificent grounds , Professional very friendly staff
• Mary (10/5): -
• Alison (9/5): -
• Oliver (10/5): - The venue couldn’t be any better. Great staff and very friendly There was a golf tournament or golf party on and the talk and the manner that they conducted themselves was discussing and disrespectful. In the middle of a busy restaurant 1 table of golfers were talking and shouting and saying things that shouldn’t be said in a family restaurant. The hotel seemed to facilitate the golfers and instead of removing the problem they opted to move guests to different tables. Which was pointless as the golfers over powered everyone else’s conversations. I ended up leaving the restaurant with only a small portion of the meal eaten.
• Linda (9/5): Lovely stay at this hotel made at the last minute - Breakfast was fine except scrambled eggs could be improved. ---
• Leonard (10/5): - Lively clean and tidy property None
• Carissa (10/5): - The hotel and grounds are beautiful, the hotel has a relaxed vibe, friendly staff and great food. The breakfast was really good and plenty of options. It would be very hard to find any faults in this hotel
• John (7/5): - The golf course was great the room was clean and spacious The room was a bit noisy as it was close to the kitchen and the pillows were very hard for me so woke with a sore neck
• Arlene (8/5): A short overnight stay - We enjoyed a lovely overnight stay here to break up the journey further north. The room was very spacious and the bed was huge and comfortable. I stayed with my son so he was delighted there was a pool which was large enough to give everyone the space they needed whether you were there to play, do lengths or relax. That night we ate dinner in the bar but the menu was quite limited. Breakfast was delicious, wide range on offer, and the staff were very attentive offering freshly made pancakes which made a little boy very happy! We definitely would come back again. Nothing

• Patricia (10/5): -
• John (10/5): Very pleasant - Very good Chips at dinner in the bar were frozen not fresh and disappointing on both nights. Their Burger on the other hand was excellent. The bar staff were top class, as were all the staff we dealt with.

• brianalexandera2026 (10/5): Annual Golf Trip - My golf society has its spring outing a Ballymascanlon every year. We are always impressed with the quality of the venue and the friendliness of the staff. Indeed this was the case again this year. A very warm and welcoming environment. Great golf, excellent food and lodgings - everything we could ask for.

• Anthony (10/5): -
• Tim (9/5): Great, amazing facilities, nice staff and good breakfast. - It was great we had a lof of joy and a great stay. The only problem we personally found is that the beds are too firm (this is personal - so cannot judge for others)
• Patrick (10/5): -
• 225alisoni (10/5): Fantastic ladies golf weekend - Just back from a ladies golf trip to Ballymascanlon. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it - the rooms were great, the staff were lovely and the food was amazing. Had some amendments to make to the booking and these were all done without any issues.
• Mulcahy (9/5): This hotel is very comfortable, lovely grounds, lovely pool, bedroom and tasty high standard food. - the room was very comfortable and the bed was comfy, bathroom really lovely with the rain forest shower, breakfast was fab , great choice of food and dinner we had in the bar and there were good portions and very tasty, I cannot fault this hotel only I would love the evening dinner in the restaurant to be in a different room to the breakfast, that s why i prefer to eat in the bar which is a lovely space in this hotel. I have this opinion about a lot of hotels who cater this way. It is not a negative thing it is just my preference that if i am having breakfast in the same space as my dinner which one would usually dress up for the occasion, it just doesn't work for me as i have been there in my casual clothes for brekkie. It doesn't feel special enough. The food is very good so that is not it , it is just my preference to make the evening dinner more special to make it feel more special i would prefer to go to a different area for the dinner.
• Niall (9/5): -
• Rosemary (8/5): Pleasantly surprised by all the changes since my last stay in 1969 - Short stopover, all good Ran out of tomato at breakfast Fried egg rubbery
• Hand (7/5): -
• Eileen (10/5): -
• Peter (8/5): -
• Colm (10/5): - The Spacious surroundings/gardens. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. Food was superb. Would have liked fried fadge/potato bread with breakfast. My wife and I had a very relaxing time. No negatives

• Eunan (10/5): - A lot. Surroundings etc0 0
• Valerie (8/5): - Lovely location and easy to get to. Service a bit slow in the bar when we went in for lunch. We were sitting for a quite a few minutes and no one brought a menu, we had to go and ask for one. The chap who took our order was extremely friendly.
• Anthony (10/5): -
• Siobhan (9/5): -
• Bernadette (8/5): -
• Joseph (8/5): - Very pleasant stay No complaints about stay
• David (10/5): -
• Gareth (8/5): Good stay and some value for the stay with breakfast included - Nice venue and nice grounds for a walk the next morn. Good buffet breakfast and enjoyed the dinner.
• johnjF9163UN (10/5): Great service and food - Group of 8 of us went for food in the terrace bar, from the start the service was excellent. We had cathal serving us throughout the evening, who was very attentive. The food was excellent and atmosphere. Another server Luke was also very attentive.
• Liam (8/5): - Attended a wedding here. Service and food were both excellent. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was very good also.
• Michelle (7/5): - Beautiful grounds and house. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We had a lovely dinner in the restaurant however found it a little but pricey and there was way too much food so alot of waste. Breakfast was quite nice also. We were given room 133. Some of the hotel has been given a renovation however where we were was quite dated looking however the room was spotless and had a lovely view of the older outbuilding at the back. Shower was exceptionally tiny! After dinner we headed to bed about 10pm however we were kept awake until after 2am listening to the thumping tempo of music from the wedding in the function room. I feel these rooms should be given to wedding guests as unfair for other guests to be kept awake for hours. Our daughter was in a single bed which was very squeaky when she moved about. Unfortunately we don't feel we got the lovely relaxing night away that we had hoped for. We were married ourselves in the Ballymascanlon 10 years ago and have been back a few times since however left feeling very tired and disappointed with this last visit.
• Mary (10/5): Very pleasant stay. Excellent. - Breakfast and food delicious. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Nothing

• Marlene (10/5): Nice old fashion style Hotel - Very nice Hotel. Very good food in the restaurant and superb service We had a french size bed and a single bed. The mattrass of the single bed was lousy to sleep on. Probably for the body weight of kids ok.
• Celeste (8/5): Gorgeous grounds, lovely old well maintained building & friendly helpful staff - Beautiful building & grounds. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent breakfast Disabled parking limited, exceptionally busy bar & private rooms - to be expected as this hotel appears to be very popular for various private functions. A shame there isn’t a separate area reserved for checked in guests to enjoy a drink from the bar when multiple functions are on.
