Beautiful old building restored perfectly. Fabulous viewsGorgeous grounds
The house and property are gorgeous. The hotel and restaurant staff are pleasant and extremely helpful. The decor in the public areas and bedrooms is elegant and welcoming. The food from the on site restaurant and breakfast was delicious.
There was nothing we didn’t like.
Beautiful setting, friendly and helpful staff. Great food in the restaurant and then at breakfast.
The grounds and the house itself are stunning and the decor in the room was beautiful, too.
There was no atmosphere here. It felt like nobody was working and like we were the only ones staying there. The restaurant was dead and when we came back to the house after our meal I would've liked a drink or two at the bar but it was like a ghost town. Breakfast was lovely but the waitress forgot about us and served 3 couples who came in after us first meaning we were waiting quite a long time to eat.
Beautiful surroundings, rooms and very peaceful. The spa is amazing.
The waiting staff at breakfast could do with a bit more training.
Absolutely beautiful restoration, no expense spared. Warm comfortable and luxurious.Fabulous breakfast. Lovely helpful staff.
The property is gorgeous! The spa was superb. Landscaping is immaculate. Really beautiful place.
Staff seem a little unsure and dont quite know how to greet guests or what they might need to know without being prompted. The bathtub didnt drain quickly (1hour to drain after a quick shower). The grout around the tub was a little grim and they didnt make up the room during our weekend stay.
Such a gorgeous and elegant place to stay. The building is so impressive and the grounds great to walk and explore. Lovely service and the food at The Church was 5 stars! Scrumptious breakfast that was too big to finish!
Staff were outstandingly helpful Breakfast was interesting No avocado despite being on menu No marmaladeCooked breakfast order incorrect and was extremely slow and cold Treatment at spa was fab Food at restaurant excellent
The property was unbelievable itself absolutely gorgeous
The lack of cleanliness no fresh towels, 1 toilet roll. Dirty dishes left in our room. Waited an hour 15mins for breakfast for it to arrive and was burnt and disgusting we walked out and didnt go for our second morning. Read on the website about a cheese cellar asked about it to be told it closed in 2022. But yet still advertised. Was advertised about bike rental whe booking to be told they no longer do that. Being limited to 90min in the spa.. joke no where near enough time. Was more like a b&b than a luxury stay in an estate
Nice renovation job of the period house . Aesthetically appealing,comfortable large suites.
From the beginning of our stay we noticed lack of leadership and absolutely no customer service.In essence this was luxurious b&b but certainly not 5* hotel.The place is so badly managed to a point where it becomes annoying,and instead spending time to relax and enjoy ,you are chasing(constantly asking for)things which should be provided without question in this type of establishment and at this price range.They claim to be 5* but no room has been attended by the maid neither towels changed during our stay.We had to ask for the towels every day. Room was full of dust and poorly cleaned to start with.Spa comes at extra charge(which is fine)but it's limited to 90minutes ,and if you want extra time they want to charge more than double price.There is no more than 11 tables in restaurant where the breakfast is served of which only 8 were occupied during the breakfast time,but we waited for 1hr to be served breakfast after we made an order.We didn't bother coming next morning.There is no restaurant on site and the management relies on restaurant outside of the property boundaries to serve food for the patrons.Although the food was fine in the Church restaurant we didn't come all the way to Letterkeny because of the Church restaurant.If I wanted to try new restaurant I would have much greater choice in Dublin,and wouldn't travel all the way to Letterkeny.We came to stay,relax and dine in the old house and not in the metal shed in the middle of nowhere,which essentially this restaurant is.None of the lounge rooms in the hotel are attended by the waiting staff,no drink or food menus on the tables.We managed to flag someone down to bring 3 rounds of drinks for us,and imagine they didn't have it in the hotel bar ,they had to bring it all the way from the above mentioned restaurant.I never seen anything like it.It was comical and sad at the same time,but waiting times most certainly were not funny.
The house was stunning and the staff here could not be more helpful and lovely. The spa facilities were great and my treatment was amazing.There were a few things however that really let down our stay here.After the spa we went to afternoon tea which was really nice. It was very quiet and which was fine however some background music would have made the experience just a little better. There was also no drinks menu available so drink options were limited. The food was really nice.We stayed in the main house, we had a suite and junior suite booked. When we went the the rooms there was a problem with the suite as there was a trap door in the bathroom ceiling which was opened and unfortunately couldn’t be closed. The hotel moved us rooms and the second room was beautiful. However when we used the shower the bathroom completely flooded and we had to use all the towels to clean it up.The junior suite was unfortunately not serviced properly and there were a lot of hairs all over the floor. They quickly cleaned this however not long after when we were getting ready for dinner we noticed door crumbs and toenail clippings on the carpet, the staff member had to come back to the room to hoover it.We then went to dinner and the food and restaurant,the church, was really nice and service was as quick but not rushed.We had a great table and my husband and his family were coming down the next day for dinner. I asked the manager if they could have the same table as us and I was told it was no problem however the next day they were seated at the back of the restaurant which was not as nice.The next morning I went for a treatment in the spa and it was amazing. The rest of my family went to breakfast. The breakfast was unfortunately not great. They forgot my mums and everyone had finished by the time she received hers. She asked for hard boiled poached eggs however they were barely cooked and the sausages were raw, the table beside them so complained that theirs were also raw.
Spa was amazing and treatments first class. John on reception was extremely helpful and welcoming. The period building itself is truly beautiful with a number of stunning chandeliers and the room was exceptional ,both spacious and with 4 poster bed.
The shower was powerful but unfortunately the drainage wasnt capable of containing the water and flowed over the lip of the shower meaning I had to stop/start my shower. We raised issue following morning and assured it would be rectified. It wasnt!
Breakfast great location greatspa
music or entertainment would add to stay.
A country house restored to the highest of standards. Absolutely fabulous. Lovely spa too. The restaurant The Church is casual dining but good.
Nothing our room and bathroom were fab.
The surrounds of the hotel as well as the spa were top class. The breakfast was very tasty with a good selection. Rooms were expectionally clean.
We already knew Rockhill House but had never stayed there before. The drawing room is spacious and grand. The staff were very friendly and courteous, showing us round, ensuring the fire was blazing and bringing us refreshments. The breakfast was served with a smile and was cooked excellently with high quality local produce.
Unfortunately our bedroom fell far below our expectations. It was quite an expensive room and the photos for this grade showed a fairly spacious room with a four poster bed and a freestanding bath.The room we were given was small, even poky, with no redeeming features. The bathroom was just standard. We were very disappointed, especially as we had been looking forward to staying at Rockhill House, which for us was the epitome of luxury and grandeur. If I had seen the room before the day staff had left, then I would've requested a better room. But because we were meeting friends and family and having dinner first, I didn't go to our room till well after 11pm. And it didn't seem fair to inflict our disappointment on the night porter.I explained all this to the receptionist the next morning when she enquired about our stay.
