Staying two nights, this was a girlie break for some golf and spa use. The new buildings blend in very well with the old house and the staff were extremely helpful and everywhere so you did not have to wait to catch someone's attention. The pool is slightly on the small side but that was OK because it was no... more

We are waiting on response from the management to the following letter We stayed in Lyrath on Thursday night, June 5. Overall we had a good experience. However, there were a number of glitches which should not arise in a hotel of such grading. All your staff members were friendly and were working hard. The food was excellent, as was... more

Lyrath seemed all a bit too new when it first opened - it was very plush, but seemed to lack character; the huge lobby area seemed impersonal and threatened to turn the whole experience into just another convention hotel. The good news is that the place has settled down remarkably well: staff are exceptionally friendly and professional and the food... more

For those who have never been, you are definitely missing out. From its beautiful... more

Stayed recently at the Lyrath hotel and I was just like to say what a fantastic hotel it is. I have traveled quite a bit in my time and I have stayed in some fine establishments but I must say this tops them all. The greeting at the front desk is exceptional and the warm Irish welcome is greatly appreciated.... more

I stayed for one night recently in the Lyrath and was very impressed with the service. Like other reviewers, I thought the doorman was lovely and the offer of valet parking a welcome touch. The receptionist was very helpful and I was escorted to my room too. I used the swimming pool area and didn't have a problem with a... more
