Hotel is very well maintained, clean and furnished to a high standard. My room was spotless, quiet and the bed very comfortable - I slept well. I ate dinner there (steak and Guinness pie was great) and breakfast was perfect. I will be back next time I’m working in that area.

have stayed before, and will no doubt be back again. The famously slow lift (!) wasn't available when we left, but a staff member helpfully guided round the convoluted route to the stairs (lucky we didn't need to find it alone and in a hurry). The food in the restaurant was good, although we didn't try the breakfast. Overall a nice hotel with helpful staff

This place was amazing! Very deceptive from the outside. - very nondescript when looking at it, but inside it was classy and comfortable. Breakfast was as if you were at a 5-star restaurant - table service, ambience was terrific and staff were fabulous.

Unfortunately there was a problem with the guest’s room key cards being able to open up the doors to room and hotel. The staff made up for it and help with accessing the room and helping with luggage. Super friendly staff. The room was very spacious and clean! Pubs are around the square but limited food. Pubs that didn’t offer food allowed for outside food to be brought in which was nice.

Nice place, friendly staff, wrong room

Breakfast was great. Parking was easy. Staff was amazing and so helpful and friendly. Rooms are not soundproof. Unfortunately the room we booked and paid for was not available upon arrival; our 3 bed family room was downgraded to a one bed which meant someone had to sleep on the floor. The hotel and Hotels.com pointed the finger at each other and we didn't get any refund. The front desk was very apologetic and helpful; she got us a free drink at the bar to compensate us but you can't really compensate for such a big screw up...

Castle Varagh Hotel is excellent for the price. The facilities are great and the staff very friendly and helpful. The location is peaceful a little bit of a distance from public transport and train, but hey it’s Castle Pollard!!

My only issue is that having a room facing ‘the square’ I was woken around 5am by the traffic. They know that the light is ridiculously slow and joke about on a notice in the lift. Good breakfast

Ferry from UK was 2 hours late so I arrived at the Hotel very late at night. Hotel Manager and Receptionist couldn’t do enough for me, including carrying my heavy bag up to the room as the Lift wasn’t working! Great night’s sleep in a lovely room and a great breakfast set me up for my stay. I can recommend the Castle Varagh Hotel to anyone wanting to visit the area.
