Costly Stay but Quality Missing
Pros:

Staff were helpful and friendly. However the lasting memory was of an expensive stay and the quality of the hotel did not live up to the rate being charged. There were other smaller things such as the bar food closing early and the cleaning of the bar floor with strong chemical while the bar was open and guests were having a drink. But these are not the main issue which was the cost of the stay.

Pros:

Loved this hotel! We stayed in a family room with our 4 kids. We all loved the hotel - the Irish breakfast was fantastic, we had dinner at the restaurant and the food was good, we played mini golf, and the kids swam in the pool. Hotel is very nice and our family loved it!

Pros:

Beautiful hotel, lovely grounds, great facilities and amazing breakfast. However there is an IPAS centre in the grounds. The residents of the IPAS centre pretty much take over the outdoor areas such as the play park and crazy golf. I paid quite a bit of money for this hotel and the facilities and was completly unaware of this when booking, for this reason i wouldnt return

Pros:

The hotel and grounds are beautiful. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The evening meals were excellent. The breakfast was a buffet which was satisfactory but not the same quality as the evening meals. Overall though, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

Pros:

Lovely to be upgraded to a better room and nice views and super food in dinning areas.
Only small concern was that the cupboard holding the fridge needed better ventilation so the fridge would work - when the door was shut it all got very hot making the fridge less efficient.

Pros:

My niece received a surprise proposal at Breaffy (both from the US and the 5th generation to be engaged on County Mayo soil) - both from the US and the staff was outstanding in their support. The staff , the grounds, the house, the engagement celebration and the follow up dinner that night was outstanding. Also really appreciated the lap pool and swam a half mile. If I have one complaint there was only one window to air my room out and it took a long time for it to get unstuffy. And this was at the beginning of May. Best to have more air circulation available- especially during the warmer months. Thank you Breaffy, for such a memorable time in every way.

Pros:

The property is well appointed and characterful. The staff are engaging - a delight to work with.
The dining area are their own reward - especially at breakfast.
The evening mean will benefit from review - a sole salad option! 😞

The lockers at the Spa require repair - lockers that don't!?

Otherwise the Spa is fabulous. 😀

Beautiful property, but they seen to be lacking the resources to make it a fabulous property. Room was clean and neat, but just didn’t meat the grandeur of the property. Pub certainly didn’t meat the charm of the property

Great hotel set in lovely grounds. Hotel decor and a very good standard. We had a bar meal in Healy's Bar which was excellent value for money and very good food. The Health centre also provided a great area to chill and relax.

A lot more pros than cons
Pros:

The hotel itself is fabulous, beautiful setting and wonderful grounds. The food for all meals was exceptional, but there was a bit of a delay with one of our kids meals. The rooms were spotless and beds really comfortable. A couple of issues, was the very noisy hallways at night, doors banging very loudy and children and adults very noisy up and down the hallways. The hall and stairs carpets badly needed to be hoovered and this didn't improve over our stay. The pool was quite cool but the changing areas were great. The staff were all very friendly and we would stay again.
