Pros:

Had to ask for heating to be put on in our bedrooms each day during our stay. I would have expected Rockhill House to have brandy glass when they serve brandy. Not to be served in a whiskey glass.

Pros:

Beautiful historic manor with many renovations completed, some still in progress but does not take away from stay.
Carriage house was a wonderful space to stay in. Beautifully updated, modern yet complemented the Rockhill House.

Pros:

Male Receptionist on Duty at check in asked us to wait whilst he completed a job of writing. When he did give us his attention, had poor interpersonal communication skills and manner lacked care or warmth. No welcome. Didnt offer to book us a table in restaurant. However did arrange promptly to have cigarette butts removed from front after our reporting.
Bedroom superficially clean, but dust (thick) on all high surfaces ie. Tv, mirrors also skirting, also on towel radiator. No protectors on beds or pillows. Sheet too small for bed and wudnt stay tucked.
Black stain inner bathroom door and drip marks on outer. Hairs in bath.
Grounds beginning to look uncared for. Hedges need clipped. Weeds need pulled.
Breakfast buffet untidy and poor variety and quality.
Cooked breakfast presented very well but bacon and sausage could have been better quality.
Salt cellar on table was completely empty. No toast was offerred.
We stayed same time last year, and it seems quality and attention to detail have slipped.
For an expensive hotel stay, expect better.
Reception staff on departure much more capable although didnt ask if we enjoyed our stay.
Downstairs decor in the drawing rooms remains outstanding, however sad to see precious furniture being stained by alcohol gel drips.
Glass bauble light fitting on stairwell dirty and with broken bauble visible.
Disappointing. Wont be back.

Pros:

This hotel was nice. The history behind it was cool to read about. The thing I didn't like is that there was no air conditioning and we were fortunate to be in Ireland when it was 90 and sunny but sleeping was hard w/out fans.

Beautiful grounds, strange experiences
Pros:

The grounds are lovely, the beds are very comfortable, and the history is interesting. The experience, however, was difficult and comical. The room we paid extra for was not available (though the door to the room was wide open and empty the whole night). The breakfast took over an hour to be served, forcing a late check-out (despite being asked to arrive promptly for our reservation). There was no hand soap next to the sink, but two shower caps. The room was over-engineered, with extraordinarily thick doors, which made it quiet and… unbearably stale and hot. The newest technology in fire safety ment we were safe, but the light coming from the smoke detector was hilariously bright. We’re unsure if we were just unlikely, or if the place has a curse. It’s beautiful, awkwardly quiet, and the staff was very nice, but it was not our best night.

Pros:

An amazing location in a restored Georgian country manor. As you pull up to the main door, it may occur to you that the entire staff should be lined up to greet you in Downton Abbey style. That's how perfect it is! The staff is excellent. The only flaw was that our room's smoke detector had a hideous blue light that was way too bright at night. There was no way to get the room dark.

Pros:

Gorgeous property with friendly staff. Beautiful room with comfortable beds. We enjoyed our stay even though we were placed in the adjacent building without elevator (carrying our heavy luggage upstairs was a pain).
The restaurant is wonderful, but the spa was closed during our stay, bummer! Check the schedule if planning on using the spa

Pros:

I wish I could give more stars. This was an absolute dream stay! We were celebrating our proposal/birthday and the staff were so kind and thoughtful when it came to our celebration. The included breakfast (pancakes/waffles) were AMAZING! The dinner was also so delicious. I wish we stayed here longer. Thank you again!
