We went for a birthday with my partner. We were checked in but the lady never told us there was allot of children in the hotel, for example it would have helped us to know the times the children use the Spa area. It was more like a Butlins holiday camp for kids. We spent about 10 mins there and left. The reception area at the Spa wasn't that friendly either. We also kept being put sitting with families of kids in both the restaurant and the breakfast areas. Why would they keep doing that? There wasn't hot water in the rooms bath either (the sink and shower was fine) we called but were told it couldn't not be looked at until the morning. I think it's more a 4 star experience with 5 star facilities over all.

Pleasant Stay

beechpark Couples - TripAdvisor review

We enjoyed our trip to the hotel. The room was comfortable and the grounds are very pleasant. One strange occurrence. We went to the Carriage House restaurant around 4.30 for a late lunch/ early dinner. We were told it was booked out despite many tables clearly empty. The lady said earliest for a table would be 8.30. We went back to the hotel and did not want to eat in Kathleen's Kitchen. A staff member seemed surprised when we told them the Carriage House was booked out. Within 10 mins he had booked us a table for 5.30 in the Carriage House. As we dined at the Carriage House, it still had many empty tables. Unusual.

Dear beechpark Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback on your recent stay at Carton House, A Fairmont Managed Hotel. Especially for your kind words regarding the grounds and the comfort of your room. I have also investigated what happened with the Carriage House as it seemed out of character for the team to be have like this without a good reason and it appears that they had a large group booking that were due to arrive that evening at 5pm and they did not arrive. The group would have taken over the entire restaurant space up to 8pm hence why my colleague at the door told you that there was no availability until 8.30pm (this would allow time for the restaurant to be cleaned and reset). We only knew they were not going to arrive when at 5.15pm they had not arrived and we called them. They had forgotten to cancel but were not coming. The bookings were re-opened immediately which is why my colleague was able to book a table for you. This would also explain why the restaurant was not full as we had no availability due to the large group and unfortunately could not replace that many people at such short notice. I do apologize for what I can totally understand would have seemed like a strange occurrence as you said but I trust that given what I have explained above it will make a little more sense. I trust that we will have the pleasure of your company again in the not too distant future. Kind Regards Ian Finnan Assistant Resort Manager

Was my first visit to Carton House & I loved it. My husband has played golf & stayed a few times and thought I’d enjoy a birthday treat. We live in Dublin so a 45 minute commute was fantastic, the drive in through the grounds are impressive. We parked up & received a really warm and friendly welcome from the guys at the door. We were checked in efficiently and headed to our room. It was modern & spotless. Bed was extremely comfortable & the shower was great. We ate lunch in the Carriage house & as it was so cosy & welcoming we decided to have dinner there too. Breakfast in Kathleen’s Kitchen was a delight! We loved it, wasn’t formal & stuffy but casual and welcoming. Great choice of food on offer & service was excellent. Have already booked a return visit.

Dear Dream34371134963 Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback on TripAdvisor.com we really appreciate it! I'm delighted that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back in he near future. Sincerely Ian Finnan Assistant Resort Manager
