Visitors can be assured of superb customer service from staff who are friendly, courteous and professional. The lobby area and surrounds were impeccable, with complimentary tea & coffee available, open fire and many seated alcoves providing perfect hide aways.
Depending on the season and day of arrival, the open air BBQ is a big hit for lunches and evening snacks, where visitors can enjoy a selection of various grilled foods underneath open air canopies. Alternatively try the wonderful bar food where the jacket chips are a must with any dish! For something more formal, make a booking in the restaurant and enjoy super service and a menu that offers numerous choices of the finest local produce, accompanied by a selection of the best word wines.
Children are by no means overlooked with a games room upstairs off the main lobby. While some items are well used, it's the ideal chill out zone with movies available as well as popcorn and juice provided with compliments of the hotel. For something a little more invigorating, let them hop onto one of the resort bikes (again no charge!) and do a lap of the grounds or enjoy family fun swim hours at the pool where the entire family can take the plunge with float boards and inflatable toys.
Accommodation is luxurious and offers lots of space with large en suites, towelled robes and showers that are guaranteed to get you going each morning. Enjoy sumptuous bedding - we've even heard stories of visitors purchasing the pillows and bed linen at the hotel; such are the reports of the great night's sleep. Perhaps it was nothing more than falling under the spell!
Breakfast is a treat, with a large selection of hot and cold foods and everything you expect. Say hi to the friendly morning chef on station, who will fry up your very own omelette made to order with the freshest ingredients.
For day time activities, golf is a must with the Druids Glen course, the ‘Augusta of Europe', a majestic parkland escape and home to the Irish Open four years in a row. Opened in 1995 and designed by Pat Ruddy & Tom Craddock the course is "one of the finest, most challenging and most enjoyable golf courses in Europe". No wonder then, that it was named "European Golf Course of the Year" in 2000. As a fine compliment, why not challenge the Heath course, surrounded by sea, mountains and countryside. "Dull would he be of soul who would allow a few stray shots spoil a day in such a blessed spot".
