Stayed there for 2 nights. Staff are very nice,professional and friendly. The spa was very enjoyable according to my wife. However guests do not have access to this area without paying a fee for one hour to relax. Leisure facilities in the other area of the hotel are best described as functional. Small pool, jacuzzi and steam room. Small!! Good location with entertainment in the bar both nights.I eat in La Perla first night an average experience because it was hyped up by many reviews etc.

I stayed at Lyrath Estate together with my wife from 1st to the 2nd of June this year and found the experience very enjoyable. The rooms were first class, the service was great and the facilities were superb. All in all, it was a great break and I would highly recommend the Lyrath. The only criticism I have is that we also used the Spa during our visit and while the treatments and service at the spa itself were excellent, there was a special 2 for 1 offer during the month of June which I was not informed about when booking which resulted in the fact that there was no availability when I tried to book an extra treatment on the day we visited. In general, our stay was very pleasant and we would certainly consider returning at a later date.

This hotel was excellent, the room was very spacious with every facility you could wish for. We ate in the Restaurant on Sunday night and the service for dinner and breakfast the next morning was first class. Dinner was a little bit more expensive that the norm but as it is five star hotel this is probable to be expeced.

Really enjoyed our stay. The room was beautiful. Surroundings are fab. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We ate in the Thai restaurant. It was lovely. Nice music in the cocktail bar that night. Pool and leisure facilities were of a high standard.

stayed lyrath estate was beautful grounds was fabulous so was the hotel staff was freindly and very helpful

the reason for our visit to the hotel was to attend an evening reception wedding there, On arrival i was very impressed with the hotel appearance, obviously a lot of money & thought has gone into to the design of the hotel, we had lunch in tuppers lounge which was very busy on the day, the food was lovely & well presented although we did have to wait nearly 40 minutes for lunch to arrive from placing the order, a word with the head waiter & we had our lunch straight away. On arrival at our room 402 I was a little disappointed with the decor & furniture you really could have been in any city centre hotel, for the cost of our stay i was expecting better, however the bed & pillows were lovely & comfortable, the room did have a hole in the ceiling & black marks on the wall, i also thought the towels could have been of a better quality, the carpet was a little on the dirty side too. The breakfast the next morning was lovely & a huge choice of cereals, Juices, fresh fruit, Fried food, tea & Coffee, however you did have to make to your own toast & to me that was a minus because by the time you had waited to do your toast the rest was cold. The staff at this hotel were lovely 7 friendly & very courteous. I would stay at this hotel again

excellent in every way really enjoyed our stay . will return

Excellent Hotel, beautiful setting, very modern.Nice big room especially the ones on the ground flor with thesliding doors and an area to sit outside.The TV could be bigger.The bathroom was fab with heated floor tiles.A real 4-5 star gem in Kilkenny.Only downfall is the distance from the city centre as you do need to take a taxi.
