Lovely staff. Very tasty food. Clean property throughout.

Very clean property. Friendly staff. We made the staff aware of our celebrations for our 40th wedding anniversary and they decorated our breakfast table and our bedroom with banner, rose petals and even towels shaped like swans in a heart shape on our bed

Cons:

Steep stair case to the first floor

Wonderful stay
Pros:

Thank you, Ormonde House Hotel 🖤

Dear Ormonde House,

Thank you for making our stay feel so heartwarming, meaningful, and truly special. We booked to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and the gentleman at reception was incredibly inviting, friendly, and well spoken. Thank you for making us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived and for going out of your way to make my partner’s day so memorable — we genuinely appreciate your kindness, service, and effort.

We will most definitely return to this wonderful hotel. Our room was beautifully decorated, spacious, and bright. The paintings and décor on the walls were very fitting, giving a rustic forest feel that blended perfectly with the surrounding area. We were also gifted a beautiful garden view, with natural elements right outside our window, which created such a tranquil, calming, and peaceful atmosphere.

All of the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, thoughtfully checking in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. The dining room was a very pleasant space to wind down, with soft background music playing alongside vibrant rustic décor, creating a cosy, warm, and welcoming atmosphere. This, paired with the stunning scenery and peaceful walks available right on the doorstep, made the evening feel incredibly calm and serene.

The breakfast service the following morning was faultless. The food was so fresh and flavourful — I’ve struggled to enjoy a cooked breakfast within my local area, but this was absolutely divine. The morning atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and once again, the staff were so friendly, attentive, and accommodating, always happy to check on guests and ensure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their experience. It was truly wonderful to be greeted in such a warm and pleasant way.

Thank you again to the wonderful gentleman at reception and all of the staff for making our stay so meaningful. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we truly look forward to staying with you again.

Warmest regards,
Rosina 🖤

Staff were great, breakfast was great too

The room and bathroom layout were very tight. TV was playing up, bedroom curtain arrangement not good, no blind in bathroom which was looking onto used fire escape. No shelving in shower. Carpet needs cleaning or replacing.
