Our extended family needed this quiet stay. One thing- why are the rooms numbered like that? The visitors aren’t familiar with the older tradition for numbering the newer additions. Please change it

Great hotel for families

The Inn at Dromoland was a great hotel for my family. We stayed for several nights with our 3 year old daughter. We appreciated that there was any outdoor playground and an indoor playground (though note that the indoor playland does have a cost and it's only open certain hours). Our daughter enjoyed the playgrounds and we saw lots of families there during the Easter holiday, so we felt very comfortable at the hotel. The breakfast was just okay, but the restaurants had good food for dinner and kid friendly options too. Overall this was a perfect choice for my family as we explored Ireland!

Beautiful hotel,

Beautiful reception area. We stayed in a family room on the ground floor. It was very spacious and clean. The corridors are in need of an upgrade but it doesnt take away from the cleanliness of the hotel, justcwear and tear. We used the swimming pool, staff extremely helpful and friendly. Had food in the Shannigans Gastro Bar, really reasonable for a family of 5. Staff very accommodating and helpful. Food was delicious. Would definitely stay again.

I attended an authors' conference at the hotel. It was the perfect venue. The breakfast is wonderful, the sandwiches and soup at lunchtime tasty and the food at the bar delicious. My room was quiet and the bed comfortable. While I found the price a little more than I usually pay, Ireland has a lack of hotel rooms so prices there are quite scary. Overall, a wonderful stay and the staff are brilliant.

Nice modern hotel with pub

This inn was fairly updated with very large grounds. Unfortunately, they were painting the closest entrance to our room, so we had a long walk to our vehicle and no luggage trolley available. We ate in the hotel restaurant, which was a nice pub. I got potato soup and it was very good. It was convenient to have an on-site restaurant. Room was very nice and beds were comfortable. Shower was also nice, however the only issue was that you could not turn off the bathroom fan so it ran constantly. This was very annoying during the night. It would have been nice if staff accommodate for our room being so far as she made it sound like it was around the corner. Otherwise there were no complaints about the room. I'd be willing to stay again with a few provisions.

We arrived during a wedding. Limited parking. Everyone was smoking at the entrance so you had to walk through a cloud of smoke to enter. Checkin was great but our room smelled. We let it air out for 2 hours, went to dinner and it still stunk so we switched rooms at midnight. Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was so noisy we couldn’t talk at the same table. On another day I may have given a higher review.
