Stayed in a Manor House Suite for one night. Enjoyed a massage, time in the spa, a walk within the grounds, and dinner at The Grill & Bar. The room was large and very satisfactory. The spa was pleasant. The restaurant food was okay (had a burger with no choice on how to be cooked which signals to me it isn’t fresh which I would expect at a site of this calibre), drinks were great. The staff overall are fantastic and friendly with a real can do attitude and mucking in together to give a great experience. The hotel grounds are wonderful and with two distance designated walks (2.5km and 4km) options are simple to navigate. Were it not for some overspilling noise from the resident’s bar overnight I would have given 5* overall. Staff however responded positively when discussed and made additional efforts to make things right so you can’t fault that. Bumped into the owners while walking the grounds. I get they live on site but a short chat with customers wouldn’t go a miss. You never know who your customers are.

This Estate is the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. If you’re looking for amazing food beautiful grounds and a magical experience, this is it. Our room was massive. We had our own sitting area outside our room and our bathroom could have held a party.

Our first experience in a 5 star hotel and it was fantastic. We just feel that the hydration pool, sauna and steam room should have been included in the price...instead of an extra cost.

A true 5-star experience
This gorgeous hotel is every bit a 5-star experience. The staff from all over the world is VERY friendly and accommodating. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The food at the restaurants is delicious and very well priced. The cocktails at the bar are all top shelf... ask for an Old Fashioned and watch how the lead barman concocts an Old Fashioned for the ages. I can't say enough wonderful things about Lyrath Estate Hotel, it made our trip perfect.

A great escape!
Lovely stay - big, comfy, very clean room with great wardrobe and bathroom space. Lovely surroundings, very quiet and peaceful - excellent grounds and walks and only a hop from Kilkenny city. Very helpful and friendly staff. All round highly recommended.
