A true 5-star experience
This gorgeous hotel is every bit a 5-star experience. The staff from all over the world is VERY friendly and accommodating. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The food at the restaurants is delicious and very well priced. The cocktails at the bar are all top shelf... ask for an Old Fashioned and watch how the lead barman concocts an Old Fashioned for the ages. I can't say enough wonderful things about Lyrath Estate Hotel, it made our trip perfect.

A great escape!
Lovely stay - big, comfy, very clean room with great wardrobe and bathroom space. Lovely surroundings, very quiet and peaceful - excellent grounds and walks and only a hop from Kilkenny city. Very helpful and friendly staff. All round highly recommended.

This was a wonderful place to stay. The grounds were relaxing and welcoming. We really enjoyed the opportunity to walk the trails around the grounds. It felt like we had escaped the crowds and got to explore. We would highly recommend this location. Best place to stay in Ireland

Wonderful as always
Pros: Beautiful surroundings and wonderful walkways around the hotel. Convenient for Kilkenny City. Lovely professional staff. Unique atrium experience. Delicious food. This was our third stay and there are really good reasons why we keep coming back! Cons Only one gripe - the suite we stayed in was smaller than other similar hotels, and didn’t make the best use of space (the bedroom and bathroom were almost the same size - bathroom arguably too big, bedroom too small). For a 5 star I’d expect a stocked minibar; but this seems to be less and less the norm so not really an issue and in any case the ambiance in the many places to have food or a drink renders it moot.

We cannot wait to come back to Lyrath Estate! The grounds around the hotel are absolutely breathtaking and the facilities themselves are gorgeous inside and out. Our room was massive and comfortable. The staff were lovely and the food was delicious. We felt so at home here and it was an incredible stay.

Couples Break
We had a lovely relaxing stay. We did point out the TV in the room was freezing!! Breakfast was excellent self service. Plenty of choice. The estate had wonderful walks. My facial was so much more than a facial and i was allowed to use the thermal suite the day after. Might be no harm to point out the €25 charge for thermal suite for residents. I felt this should be included in your stay. Overall a wonderful break we would go back

Very nice and upscale
Beautiful estate and hotel, very modern and upscale, one of the few places we stayed in 14 days in Ireland that had Air Conditioning (AC is not a thing in Ireland). Wonderful breakfast buffett. Great activities on the estate like the Hawk Walk at the Hawkery.

Great stay
We enjoyed a lovely two night stay in the hotel, with friendly staff providing great service. Food in the grill bar was excellent. We used the pool facilities on the second day prior to our departure and were disappointed in the cleanliness of the ladies changing rooms, with no toilet roll, and only hair conditioner in the shower area. We were able to avail of several seating areas which were ideal for reading our books and newspapers. We would recommend staying at the hotel and look forward to a return trip !
