Myself & my husband went for two nights for our wedding anniversary. It was a lovely experience from start to finish. Our room was ready on check in. We had casual drinks in the carriage house & had the taster menu in Kathleen’s kitchen which was lovely. My husband is vegan & had a delicious 3 course meal. Breakfast in the older part of the hotel was lovely. Plenty to choose from & we were regularly asked if we needed anything. We were so full from breakfast that we didn’t need lunch. We had dinner in the carriage house. My only negative for the trip was that the carriage house I feel is more for golfers after finishing a round of golf so more club house rather than a choice of restaurant. When we went in for our anniversary dinner there was about 20 odd people/golfers standing around the bar after finishing golf & it was quite loud. People were over flowing onto the tables. If I had of known about that set up I would have requested a table further away from the bar. We had been given a booth to sit in. Both nights we had drinks at the reception bar which is a lovely setting. Nice to people watch ! We also had Afternoon tea in a fabulous room. We were given complementary champagne for our anniversary which was a lovely touch. Afternoon tea again was lovely & even had to bring some of it home we were so full. We did the tour of the house with Brian. He is a fountain of knowledge. Extremely pleasant & would highly recommend doing the tour if he is working. He also made sure we had a lovely window seat for our afternoon tea when he heard it was our anniversary. I had a facial in the spa which was nice. We did notice it was cool enough around the pool area so we didn’t stay there for long & the jacuzzi could be warmer. Overall I would happily go back to Carton House.

Hotel was chilly. We ate in Kathleen’s kitchen for dinner. There was an issue with electricity and the lights went off. Long wait to get our order taken and for the food to arrive. Staff however were very nice and friendly. Good was just okay. Breakfast was fine, long queue in which the breakfast host took our room number but proceeded to skip us in the waiting list. Calling 6 couples - that arrived and booked in to the waiting list after us - ahead of us for breakfast. Breakfast and breakfast staff were nice. Lunch in the club house was lovely with brilliant staff. Grounds kept exceptionally with fabulous walks.

We stayed one night as a couple with a young baby. The hotel itself is beautiful with a nice mix of modern elegant decor and then the classic decor in the old house.
Check in was fine, however the upgrade I had booked wasn’t on the system so that caused some confusion but was rectified quickly enough.
Our suite was fine, nothing out of the ordinary, a nice comfortable room but nothing wow. Disappointed to have no bath and no hand held part in the shower, also very disappointed that the tv wasn’t smart , nor could we mirror on it, even though the function was there, when we rang reception they explained it wasn’t an available feature for guests.
We had a nice lunch but it became clear that most of the staff were very inexperienced. Our waiter had never heard of a mocha and when it arrived , it had spilled over the whole saucer. The waiter was really pleasant but the coffee wasn’t good. When we went to pay, all card machines weren’t working, this went on for 15 mins with no apologies from the manager. As we had a young baby , we would have preferred to not hang around for 15 mins waiting for the machine to kick in, handled very poorly.
There was a huge wedding on and it was clear the focus of the staff was on the day 2 event. A conference was also launching the next day which completely took over the hotel so we did feel a little out of place. For example, we requested a concierge to help us at checkout as we had a travel cot etc but he said no trolleys were available so my husband and the nice concierge guy had to carry everything through the hotel all the way to the car, really disappointing.
Breakfast is 25pp tray charge even if breakfast is in your package, I’ve never experienced a tray charge like that for breakfast in any other 5 star hotels. We went down for breakfast and my husband’s coffee was completely forgotten, but got it on the 4th request. Again the staff were friendly but definitely not trained to the standard expected. Food selection was good and setting was beautiful.
I would not be recommending this hotel currently and unsure how it received 5 star status given the staff issues. Definitely a fabulous setting but that can only do so much. The glass was also cracked in the bathroom which doesn’t give a great impression.
Dear Niamh,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay at Carton House. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the hotel's beautiful setting and decor. However, it is concerning to learn about the various challenges you encountered during your visit.
We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding your room upgrade and the amenities in your suite that did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the service during lunch and breakfast have been duly noted, as we prioritize staff training to ensure our guests receive the highest level of service. We recognize the inconvenience caused by the payment system issues and the delays experienced.
Additionally, we regret that the focus on events during your stay detracted from your experience. Your feedback about the concierge service and the tray charge for breakfast is valuable, and we will review our policies to enhance guest satisfaction. We also take note of your concern regarding the cracked glass in the bathroom; this is not indicative of our standards.
Thank you again and I would like to discuss this further with you. Can you please reach out to me directly.

Lovely two night stay in a garden room. Check-in team was very pleasant and helpful. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet. The food at the kitchen was outstanding as was the service. I'd say the facilities are a bit tired and you certainly see this in the men's changing room at the spa/gym where things like the showers amenities just aren't up to standard. Overall, the place has an early 2000s vibe and it has definitely seen a lot of people traveling through it. The setting is beautiful.

I booked a corporate away day/night for our company. A few days (one business day) before our stay I was contacted and informed that our contact had left your company and that you now needed to confirm all the previously agreed arrangements. I did this - but on the day there was no one to greet us, no signs for the conference room had been prepared, the room wasn't set up and we had to scramble to get that done. Then the power went out - which would not ordinarily be your fault but we were informed that this was the third time it happened in a week - so there was obviously a problem you hadn't addressed. We had arranged to have a "family lunch" at noon in Katie's Kitchen (and paid for it). A couple of hours before this was scheduled we were approached and told another group had also booked the same slot - would we mind moving to the Carriage House? Not wanting to cause a problem we agreed - but when we went to the Carriage House no one there had heard a thing about this arrangement. We offered to go back to the kitchen - but were told that wouldn't be possible either. Then we were informed that through some oversight the kitchen staff hadn't been told of the change - so there would be no lunch for us. Thankfully the Carriage House staff arranged for some soup, chips and sandwiches, but by then some of our party had to leave for spa appointments, others had only time for a few bites and our invited guest presenter had to rush through a bit of soup before his next appointment. It was a disastrous showing by the Fairmont Group - although Naida and the clubhouse staff did try hard to rectify issues not of their making - there really is no excuse for this poor a performance.
