Wonderful stay

The Carton House offers a high quality hospitality experience in a sumptuous scenery. The caring and passionate staff really made our stay by offering top of the class service and going the extra mile for us. Highly recommend taking the property tour to learn abut the estate's history. Biking/Walking around the golf courses will allow you to discover the premises and it's wildlife residents.

Well located

We had a wonderful stay at Carton House. The Staff are all so pleasant and helpful. Our Rooms were very cosy and spotlessly clean throughout. The Food at Carton House is lovely. Just one thing I would like to highlight and it was that our Check IN was a little disappointing as there was a delay. Also I feel as we are Senior citizens and my husband finds walking long distances somewhat painful the long walk from our Bedroom to The Bar and Reception was not easy for him. Perhaps Reservations could ask At Time of Booking do guests wish to request a Room closer to The Elevator OR to Reception/Bar area

The hotel is beautiful. We encountered some issues with service that tainted our stay.

We were unable to get our key at check in as our names could not be located by receptionist on the system. We went to the spa and then had to get dressed and come back to reception to get our key, this was most unsatisfactory. The receptionist was slow to apologise and eventually conceded that it was not satisfactory and gave an insincere apology and offered 2 drinks vouchers. We later got drinks ( 2 cocktails) but were told that these were not covered by the drinks vouchers - no one had explained this to us. At dinner I ordered the black sole. When the food arrived there was a black sole with no shrimps (which had not been ordered). As we were with a group I said I would take this because I did not want to wait and eat my dinner after the group. I was offered nothing to acknowledge I had taken this even though it was not my order. At breakfast there were multiple delays and confusion about coffee orders.

Fabulous location to spoil yourself in

We attended a family wedding and it was just breath taking, such a beautiful venue and grounds with classic blends of old and new. The rooms were amazing, the staff were a joy and so helpful. Looking forward to a return visit for sure.

Very enjoyable break.

Had a Lovely dinner in Kathleen’s kitchen but we did find that the service at lunch was very slow and we were waiting quite a while to be served. We were sitting to the side of the bar so less visible we thought's. Breakfast very nice and . Golf was great
