Pleasant stay
Pros:

A great stay was bad by a large family group. We stayed 3 night and made use of the restaurant, bar and pool. The food was all very good as well as the service. They go above and beyond to make your stay welcoming and comfortable. The rooms are nice and can't be faulted to my standards anyway. The river is a nice place to take a walk and the village of Castleconnel is a short walk away with small shops and some nice pubs, especially Bradshaw's.

Home from home.
Pros:

Banishing the January blues,celebrating a birthday and brandishing the budget wand is a tough juggling act but the Castle Oaks House Hotel seemed an ideal way to achieve all three soirees. We thought it an apt way to harness our hopes of blowing the lethargy of a long winter out of the water. And so it was. A beautiful snapshot in time staccatoed in the midst of our memories. This was our maiden voyage in this establishment.
Stephanie, the receptionist greeted us warmly on arrival immediately put us at ease. She informed us of all the excellent facilities available in the hotel ensuring we would have a very pleasurable stay at the cradle of the Shannon.
In the depths of winter with a baltic air sweeping down from the North, it felt like we had stumbled upon a type of wonderful Narnia which none of us wanted to leave. From check in to check out we were furnished with the most delightful sustenance that weary voyagers can only dream about.
Special mention must go to Stephanie, Maggie and Josephine. They just couldn't do enough for us. This troika of employees who through their Trojan work have woven a formidable axis of attentiveness and congeniality throughout the hotel. Our only complaint was that the journey had to end. We had drank deep from the warm gushy vibes of an enchanting weekend. Now it was time to close the wardrobe,shut the door and journey back to the bosom of Offaly. The Castle Oaks and our next adventure awaits.......

Weekend break
Pros:

Myself and my Fiancé stayed here to celebrate our engagement and we had the best weekend. They made such a fuss of us by upgrading us to a suite and doing up a plate of desserts in our room. The dinner was excellent, Josephine was an absolute dote always checking on us to make sure everything was ok. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back in the future ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A hotel that's worth your money
Pros:

Such a lovely hotel set in a beautiful surrounding. The room was lovely, well stocked, spacious, modern and clean, as was the bathroom.
The leisure center was a bonus and again, spotlessly clean.
The staff could not have been nicer, especially Josephine who served us food in the bar and Maggie who served us breakfast. A big thank you also to the head chef who was kind enough to make some toasted sandwiches for us.
My friend felt the room was a bit to hot but as soon as we mentioned this to Maggie she immediately reported it to the relevant people and returned to let us know she had done so.
We would definetly recommend a stay there and we would happily stay there again.

Family wedding
Pros:

We stayed in one of the lodges for my sister's wedding, which was in the hotel. We really enjoyed the experience. Beds were comfy and the lodge was spacious. All of the staff were excellent. A special mention to Josephine and Maggie who looked after our extended family so well. The food was lovely - at breakfast, in the evening in the bar and at the wedding itself. We didn't get a chance to use the pool, but maybe on our next visit!

Brilliant staff…. Just brilliant!
Pros:

Best little place in Limerick. Our girl on reception (Stephanie) was just amazing, so helpful and beautiful. She went above and beyond her call of duty to make us comfortable. Cannot fault her.. and as for out Brilliant waiter JAMES!!! So so thoughtful young lad… I had particular dietary requirements and he don’t make me feel at all that I was any trouble.. can’t wait to come again .. will request both mentioned on my next stay. Also…. At breakfast the woman whose name I can’t remember, was amazing also… above and beyond … dark hair woman!! I had a great time!!!
