Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a gem in the town centre with superb rooms and friendly service. However, the dining experience had its flaws leaving a bit to be desired. The location was unbeatable, providing a picturesque view of the river and race track.
The hotel has a fantastic location overlooking the river and the racecourse, making it a lovely spot in the center of town. However, the rooms are a bit of a trek from the lift and feel overpriced for their quality. The dining experience was good overall, but there were some disappointments. Service was really helpful and accommodating, providing an early continental breakfast for our tee time.
The hotel had some ups and downs but overall was a pleasant stay. The location was superb with a lovely view over the river and racecourse, though there were some minor inconveniences. The dining experience had its moments, offering authentic dishes but lacking a bit of flair. The facilities were well-kept, making for a comfortable stay.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were spotlessly clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, although a bit warm at times. The service was friendly and helpful, making it the best part of my experience. The hotel is perfectly located right in the center of Listowel, a charming town with great amenities. The dining experience was passable overall, with a few minor issues, but nothing major. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
My stay at the hotel was incredible, with superb rooms and friendly staff, though the pricing was a tad high. The location couldn't have been better, and the dining experience was delightful with generous portions. However, the lack of heating in the original room was a downside for the price paid.
