Guest Reviews
- Adrian (3/5): Very disappointed - Lovely place but the food the bed so bad was my birthday weekend and was very disappointed That it was over looking the river not
- Joseph (8/5): Pity about a potentially good cooked breakfast - Great location, wonderful back story. Helful, friendly staff Cooked breakfast was not recently cooked,
- Martina (9/5): Comfortable, clean excellent food and special spa - Lovely location on the river. Excellent staff and very clean. Restaurant was excellent Nothing
- Donna (10/5): -
- Darragh (5/5): - Spa facilities were excellent
Lunch was very good For the price, the bar felt very dated. The picture of the room on the ad was nowhere near reality of water views. Dinner was very poor despite being priced extremely high
- James (8/5): A great 24 hours. We will be back - Lovely energy in the building. Staff nice and professional. Great facilities. Spa, Rooms, Food, We will come back. Slight hiccup on arrival. No Booking.com booking had arrived. However it was sorted after 15 minutes. Coffee taste was not smooth. It should be for a top hotel like this. Either the coffee beans were off or the machine set incorrectly.
- Mark (10/5): Great stay - Beautiful hotel and spa facilities were excellent and great staff Great food and friendly staff and great spa
- Reilly (8/5): -
- Elizabeth (10/5): Great experience would certainly recommend it - Lovely location professional and friendly staff bedroom/bathroom very spacious loved the gorgeous paintings Couldn’t find air conditioning
- Daniel (4/5): At the price point, it’s very disappointing and felt like price gouging. - The food was nice. Staff are friendly. Room decor is nice Staff nice but poorly trained. Breakfast buffet very minimal and only 1 hot item on the menu PP, additional cost for more. Use of basic spa facilities additional cost to the very overpriced room rate. Building exterior at spa requires cleaning and painting. Parking limited.
- Auveen (10/5): -
- Sarah (5/5): It was nice but food was not great room was standard for price we expected allot more - Location To expensive for what it is
- Ava (7/5): -
- Noel (10/5): Great spa and hotel staff very friendly - Great location, Nothing
- Andrew (7/5): Good facilities but disappointing meals - Lovely setting, comfortble room, good facilities For its prices, the breakfasts and dinners were a bit disappointing. Selections of breads and cereals at breakfast was limited. Bad enough that there was no porridge on the hot menu, but the overnight oats only came with almond milk - very 2020s no doubt, but very poor in my opinion!! Some dinner items were excellent, but the choice was not very extensive, and "fish of the day" was the same Saturday and Sunday, and not very appealing.
- Sean (10/5): - The calm relaxing environment There wasn't anything to not like
- Olivia (8/5): -
- Conor (8/5): - Fab location nice spa Food menu does not meet expectations
- Charles (8/5): -
- Lorraine (7/5): - Bedroom was lovely Spa was a let down, very noisy . Very overpriced.
- Maria (10/5): Excellent! - Spa was amazing, the price is definitely reasonable. The food was delicious and the restaurant had a lovely view. The staff were so helpful and kind, especially Matthew at the front desk. We will absolutely be back for an extra night.

- Richard (10/5): -
- Kieran (6/5): Very nice, but a couple of things could be improved - Hotel itself and location were very nice. Spa was lovely. Staff were friendly. Little things but the breakfast needs work in my opinion, it looks and tastes cheap ( the food that's made to order). Also myself and my partner ordered steaks cooked differently, and when the server served us the food didn't know which was which. Also as a paying guest I don't think you should have to pay extra to use the Jacuzzi.

- Flaherty (4/5): Just ok - The bed was super comfy and the room was spotless The food was mediocre, the smell in the hall to the rooms needs to be addressed asap sooo bad, obviously the ice name of the hotel is carried through and i should if known netter the place was freezing especially the dining area where numerous guests asked to move. The spa was just ok, that is not the way to set up a seaweed bath, the oils were non existent.
- Scobie (10/5): Fantastic birthday treat - A very nice property overlooking a tidal river, you could spend ages just admiring the view from either your room, restaurant or the spa area. Fantastic hot tubs on an external decked area fully exposed to the elements. The food was of excellent quality and surprisingly not to expensive. Staff were helpful and made you feel very welcome. Nothing
- Sinead (10/5): Peaceful & Relaxing - Peaceful & Relaxing Nothing
- Dermot (8/5): Overnight spa break - The staff were amazing from bar to reception to restaurant all were fantastic. So friendly, so helpful just brilliant On check in the hotel was a bit cold. The breakfast display was not in keeping with the luxury feel of the hotel. It felt a little last minute b&b offering and not 4 star hotel.
- Jolanta (10/5): It was absolutely incredible! The spa, the hotel, the food – everything was first class. 🌿✨ The atmosphere was magical, - The view from my room was absolutely breathtaking — I couldn’t stop looking at it. Truly unforgettable!” 🌅💛

- Nicola (7/5): - Interesting architecture. Well designed restaurant. Food very good. Beautiful outlook. Very long way to our room. Lift, full length of corridor, 2 flights stairs, full length of corridor. Felt like we were the least important guests as we were unlikely to be back.

- Chiara (10/5): - Ice House è un gioiello che dà sul fiume Moy, una posizione fantastica. Tutto è molto curato. Ho apprezzato in particolar modo la stanza, ben equipaggiata, il suo grazioso balconcino per godersi la vista sul fiume, il cibo freschissimo del ristorante. Non ho usufruito dei servizi della spa per mancanza di tempo ma torneremo certamente.

- Staniewska (9/5): -
- Janine (10/5): Exceptional - An amazing hotel views just stunning
Spa facilities just perfect
Food 💯
We will be back 🫶 Having to leave this beautiful hotel 🫤
- Michael (8/5): Expensive - however stayed in high season, nevertheless €340 per night is poor value considering the quality offered. - Very friendly staff, great location with beautiful views. The hotel has a wonderful art collection. The spa facilities are very good and relaxing. The restaurant lacked atmosphere in the evening- a very large scale venue for the hotel size, felt very impersonal. Food average and surprisingly with few healthy options to augment the spa experience. The restaurant has two entrances one of which was not staffed so people had to hang around and hoped to be noticed. Service at breakfast was slow and surrounding tables not cleared, felt understaffed.
- Vanessa (8/5): Very good -
- Grainne (9/5): Superb - The views and the room were amazing! Spa is also fabulous!

- Mairead (8/5): Very good -
- Eimear (10/5): Exceptional - A stunning hotel, set in a beautiful location. Staff are so helpful, and the facilities are second to none. Outdoor jacuzzi and bathing area were a winner for us at the Chill Spa. Fantastic night away. Will definitely recommend it and will also be back. Having to walk through reception to get to the spa area wasn't ideal.
The dinner menu was quite limited to my own tastes and therefore we ate outside of the hotel. However, breakfast was very nice.
- Luciana (5/5): Passable -
- Stafford (9/5): Superb - The ice house is an amazing spot in the right location, clean, quiet, staff's are lovely and friendly, spa treatments amazing. Food is really good and the cook to order breakfast is amazing and fresh. The view over the river is just to die for. I would definitely recommend this hot spot. The one thing I didn't like was kids running up and down the corridor, especially when you were away for such a weekend and would be lovely to have a wee fridge in the room
- Elizabeth (7/5): It’s all about the spa and the view from the outdoor thermal area. Disappointing menu and over priced. - Our room overlooked the river and was a perfect relaxing spot to watch the bird life. The spa is great and at the heart of the property. The staff were all very professional and welcoming. The menu and the price of food.

- Nicole (10/5): The perfect place to unwind on the beautiful River Moy - We had a really lovely stay at the Ice House. The staff were all very friendly & welcoming and the location is stunning - our room looked out on the beautiful River Moy. The spa facilities and therapists were excellent. And the food was really exceptional. The Ice House is a real find: a bijou spa hotel with a big heart. Thank you for making our trip to find my roots in Killala so perfect. The only thing I could say was the blanket on our bed wasn’t 100% clean as it had something that had obviously spilled on it & dried so you could feel it.
