The Carton House was a highlight of our trip to Ireland. The staff were attentive and kind, the hotel itself is gorgeous, and they have the most beautiful walking trails into the nearby town of Maynooth. We had an early flight with our young children in the morning, and the staff prepared breakfast to go for the car. Every detail was on point. Would recommend and stay at the Carton House again!

Our stay here was excellent. Great check in experience. Amenities and grounds are excellent. We enjoyed a lovely evening and were joined with friends before dinner. The following morning breakfast reserved in Kathleen’s Kitchen. The food was excellent. The ambience was too formal for breakfast. Some of the waiters did not enquire how one was or asked about the menu. Fine for dinner but could less formal in the morning

Perfect small family getaway!

We loved our entire experience at Carton House. The food was amazing, the room was impeccably clean, the scenery was incredibly beautiful, and my husband loved the golf! We had a picnic on the grounds which was a highlight. The staff was all very friendly and made consistent effort to help us out when we had inquiries. We brought out 10 month old baby with us and were able to take her for walks around the grounds and bring her to all the restaurants without feeling like she was a burden, thanks to the staff's warmth. We brought her to the pool during kid hours too! We felt especially well taken care of my Emma who was one of the managers at the Carriage House. Additionally, the spa was beautiful and extremely relaxing. The only issue we had throughout our experience was difficulty with getting the phone answered at Guest Services, but when we brought it up everyone was really helpful and understanding.

We fancy!

We’ve never stayed at a 5 star hotel before so felt a bit out of our element. No one treated us as such though. The staff was amazing. The place was beautiful. The meals were incredible. You got to learn the history of the place in multiple ways. Location would have been easier if we’d had our own car, but it was well worth the extra effort to get there via taxi/train combo.

The Carton house is about 45 minutes from the airport and 30 minutes from Dublin. The grounds are lovely. The walk to Town is about 30 minutes and well worth it as there are other historical sites to visit in the town. The interior of the Carton house is modern but historical features remain throughout. Make sure you make dinner reservations well before you get there as the restaurants on property fill up quickly. The activities should also be booked well in advance. Many we wished to do were already booked out. We wanted to do the falcon lessons and whiskey tasting but they were not available. The horseback riding was quite fun and about 20 minutes away by taxi.

Liked it a lot but flawed

Really enjoyed our stay but the bathroom was awful. Like something from a hospital 😬. The La Labo toiletries were lovely though. Morrison Room is FANTASTIC. Pool area was clean and v relaxing. Breakfast delicious. Heard a LOT of apologies from various employees to guests, including some for us. It just seems kind of chaotic, food service is not well managed anywhere except Morrison Room, but then everyone seemed really nice at the same time. I’d definitely go back - just don’t go if forgetful service bothers you.

A perfect getaway for a small family

We were very impressed with the very friendly and welcoming staff, the beautiful surroundings and the food. We arrived a little bit early, with our toddler. They managed to accommodate us and while we waited we were at the strange time just after breakfast bur before lunch. One of the staff members went off the kitchen and managed to get some pastries for us which was really appreciated. The team seemed genuinely interested and friendly and we felt very at home. The meal in Kathleen’s kitchen was lovely, again great service and food prepared with passion and care. The cocktails at the bar were unique and very good. The property is extensive, very well kept and really interesting with loads to explore. We’ve stayed in a few 5 star hotels at home and abroad, and this is definitely right up there. It’s a real gem. I’m looking forward to our next visit!

Not as luxurious as I was expecting

I upgraded my room and it was nice and spacious. There were a few small things that weren't quite right with it, though. The shower gel was empty, some of the sachets in the tea/coffee box hadn't been replenished, etc. Reception staff were lovely, the floor staff in the bar seemed over-worked and (understandably) stressed.
