Houseboats in County Laois

"The rooms were clean, but the first room I was in was a little small, the TV was small, and I could not figure out the toilet flush initially, it's not your normal typical toilet flush. Finally figured it out. The second room I got as I added an extra day was nicer, so my guess is not all rooms are consistently nice. Good luck. I am a solo traveler so it wasn't a bad experience at all, just a little different than my previous hotel stays. This place must be big because there are so many rooms and is a kind of maze with many corners to turn, going upstairs, going downstairs to get to your room. The restaurant and bar are amazing! For this reason I would not recommend it to a family."

"The location and staff were fine, but the bed completely ruined my stay. The mattress was unbelievably hard—so hard that it honestly felt like sleeping on the floor. I understand some people like a firm bed, but this had almost no cushioning at all. I woke up sore and uncomfortable, and it made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. A hotel bed should be comfortable, and unfortunately this one was anything but."

"This is a great hotel with central location! Definitely recommend. The staff was very nice too "

"Lovely pool. Room fantastic. Breakfast the best. "

"Could only manage to get a spa appointment for one person unfortunately but she was very impressed. "

"Classed as a 5 star but doesn't meet the required expectations."

"The late check in (4pm) means you can't get to see never mind enjoy any of the facility's "

"My only complaint would be the 25e charge for the hydrotherapy. I have stayed at many comparable properties that do not charge for hotel guests. It was lovely however and we enjoyed it very much. "

"Very good and enjoyable"
