Nice gardens. Easy to get to. Staff, like everywhere in Ireland, was really friendly. The bar and attached restaurant was pretty good. The bartender was not a local and could not answer any questions and was not as friendly as an Irish native.

Overall property is self contained with restaurant, pub, health club facilities. Staff were extremely helpful and the setting is superb. However the event center can have late activity and you need to be cognizant of the rooms above the service area, had a late night wedding reception with the a DJ, ran to after midnight.

My husband and I stayed at The Ardilaun for six nights and it was the one of the best experiences we've had when travelling. The rooms were immaculate and spacious. The staff were very warm and hospitable. The Bistro Bar was my husband's favourite as he watched the World Cup games there while having a pint of Guinness. All in all, 10/10 for The Ardilaun for us! We would love to go back.
