    spacious room
    slow check-in

    We enjoyed our spacious room with a comfortable bed and excellent cleanliness. The breakfast offered a wide variety of options, including fresh homemade porridge, which was a highlight for us. the staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making our stay feel welcoming.

    The check-in process could have been quicker, which added a bit of wait time to our arrival.

    delicious food

    Family with children, Worth it if you can afford it

    The food in the bar? Truly surprising! I had the mushroom risotto, and let me tell you, it was the highlight of our stay! !

    It was a bit pricey, but honestly, the experience justified the expense.

    the breakfast was good but we had a long wait for fresh tea (no one was around). the pasta carbonara was excellent, the leisure facilities were well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay (very attentive! ).

    slow service
    long wait

    during my latest stay, i found the rooms spacious with fantastic amenities like the kettle and a mini fridge. The gardens were perfect for photos. the food blew me away, especially the delicious fry at breakfast. this visit truly exceeded my previous experience in birr and left me eager to return again.

    coffee took too long to arrive.

    beautiful gardens
    delicious dining
    basic room
    plumbing issues
    limited breakfast

    The grounds and gardens are stunning, providing a serene escape. Dining, especially the cured meats, stood out, complementing the delightful breakfast offerings. the initial room was basic with plumbing issues, requiring a move to a much nicer room. The breakfast selection seemed limited, with a long wait for some items that affected the overall experience.
