The Johnstown Estate Lodges

The hotel was lovely the room was really nice. I was disappointed in tge good we ate in the bar and waited 30 minutes for food and then was told they ordered the wrong food we would have to wait another 20 minutes. I was also disappointed not to use the rooftop pool I didn’t realise you had to hook it and wasn’t aware of the cocktail bar till we were leaving.

Nice hotel for a relaxing stay after a working day. good services for GYM and Spa.

I stayed one night, hoping to relax after a few days on the road. Condition of the bathroom was poor- mildew in the shower. Hairdryer was attached to the dresser so barely could get to the mirror. Most disappointing was that the hotel gym and pool was flooded with locals- there was literally no room for me to enjoy the facilities. Tried to order room service and they didn’t pick up the phone after a minute. In summary, close to the Highway and pretty outside but the guest experience inside was quite lacking

Handy location 1 minute off the N4 Friendly staff, clean comfortable room Very good breakfast Some of the leisure centre could do with refurbishing.

Great leisurely centre

Beautiful Ground, gym and pool. Food is good.

Second time at Johnstown Estate. Will be back again. The spa and thermal suite both indoor and out is incredible

Lovely establishment with parking directly in front of the lodges. Great amenities and restaurant

Booked for a spa break - arrived and the spa hadn’t remembered our booking. They were very polite and apologetic, gave us a free lunch. The thermal area was busy - just felt we were in a conveyer belt. Had booked this hotel as the new parterre cocktail bar is very appealing after our spa - so our spa appointment was cancelled then there was no access to the parterre bar due to a private function. I had contact the hotel directly prior to booking our spa break and they said no reservation was required. No one at reception had informed us of the parterre bar being closed for a private function nor did staff advise to reserve a table for dinner, We sat outside enjoying the sunshine. At 8 we joined the queue for dinner- where the hostess told us to sit at the bar and it was our responsibility to come up to her Frequently to remind her to seat us for dinner. We sat at the bar surrounded by empty glasses. The whole bar was covered in used glasses. We noticed an empty table behind us but was told by the hostess it’s not free. 40 mins later a waitress passing offered us the free table. Service was poor , staff are so lovely but obviously need training. No cutlery no napkin , food was poor , we were so underwhelmed we decided not to have the facial the following day. Our girlie catch up was a let down. The room was beautiful and clean . The bed and pillows were so comfy- we slept very well. Unfortunately when trying to cancel our facials spa staff wanted to charge us €140

I was really looking forward to a relaxing stay, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. The steam room was completely out of order, and the sauna tripped twice and never reached a proper temperature — not ideal for a spa break. The food itself was fine, but the overall experience was frustrating. The dish I ordered wasn’t available, and when I ordered something else, I was given the wrong meal — with no cutlery provided. I went for breakfast at 10:30 and all the pastries were gone. I asked staff if more were coming and was told they were, only to find out 10 minutes later — after asking again — that there were none left. I made a complaint, and although I wasn’t charged for breakfast, the response was far from professional. There was no apology — just a cold and dismissive “don’t worry about that,” which felt more like being brushed off than acknowledged. On top of that, the Netflix service — which was advertised as part of the room amenities — wasn’t working at all. This was not the 4-star hotel experience you would expect. Too many issues for the price paid. Staff were polite in general, but the overall service and experience were disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Hotel was okay. I find it difficult to justify having to pay extra for a cappuccino at breakfast - this rankles. Spa was poor - laconicum was dirty, stale standing water and foul smell. I brought it toi the attention of staff and they proceeded to dry the floor with towels. The same towels that spa users are given on entry. No mopping of cleaning of the facility with proper disinfectant.

2 bedroom lodge nice but kitchen had a smell .

Nice hotel with friendly staff. I did not like finding two nail clippings on bed upon arrival. I didn’t like the fact if we wanted to go to bar my party had to order food or else you were made not welcome and left in lobby area. Very warm at night, no A/C.

Relaxed. Lovely surroundings. Clean and tidy

Excellent, Rooms were spotless. Food was beautiful.

Room was spotless & staff were friendly and curtious . Would definitely recommend staying again

Beautiful Hotel Very clean and excellent breakfast. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Hotel rooms were on very poor and weathered condition. Room smelled of B.O. Coffee water maker had a film Inside. However staff was great and bealfast was excellent. Beds were comfortable.

The check-in staff was excellent, but the check-out staff was not so much. The meal we had at the property was excellent, and so was the server. The room did not have a luggage rack to put luggage on, and the room was pretty stuffy upon arrival. With no a/c, they should have opened the windows before arrival, as it takes a while to cool it down.

The most noisiest hotel I have ever stayed at. Not exceptionally busy, The room I stayed in had no sound deadening from the outside corridor. Every step and door opening and banging could be heard rather loudly. I don't tend to write reviews but for me this would prevent me from ever staying at the hotel again.

Room was spacious with the option of bath and shower. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of breakfast items available. We particularly liked the honey straight from the hive.

Unfortunately this stay was not as we had hoped, room size was decent but bed was very uncomfortable (it felt like we slept on plywood). Couldn’t fault the breakfast food, but the service was very slow, ordered pot of tea, which we had to repeatedly ask for and it eventually arrived once we had finished our breakfast. We would not recommend eating in the coach house restaurant, the service was extremely poor mostly down to being majorly under staffed, and the food was terrible. The fish and chips were basically overcooked oven ready-meals, and the Caesar salad came with chicken that was so hard it was mistaken for being croutons. Overall, it was overpriced for the quality we actually got for the 2 night stay.

Room was nice and well appointed - large. Loads of space in the bathroom with a separate bath and shower. Food was disappointing in the coach house.

The room was so cold icy cold. We had to sleep & dress with the dressing gowns on. Asked twice for someone to help eventually sorted late, it was morning before the room got warm. Very dated room. Definitely not a 4star hotel, way over priced.

My husband and I went here for a staycation to enjoy the spa, and we were very impressed with that aspect of our visit. The spa was amazing—exceptionally clean, and the staff were fantastic. Both of our massage therapists were wonderful, and we couldn't find a single fault with the spa or its team. The restaurant also had good food and attentive staff. However, the room was a major letdown, especially considering the hotel markets itself as a 4-star property. While the room was spacious enough, there was no water provided, even for a fee. The bathroom was outdated, with a very small shower and a door stopper inconveniently placed at the shower entrance. The TV seemed to be at least 15 years old, with limited channels and no option to cast from our phones. The bed had noticeable lumps at the bottom—something that didn't bother me personally, but could be an issue for others. Breakfast was another disappointment. You had to pay extra for a barista-made latte, or settle for the free machine-made coffee. The orange juice wasn't freshly squeezed but dispensed from a machine. While I would return to enjoy the spa, I wouldn't stay at the hotel again unless it undergoes some updates.

Walking trails were great, especially for the kids. The bar food was a little limited, but the afternoon scones were to die for. Pity I only discovered them on my last day. Only complaint was the storage/drawer space in the rooms. We were there for 10 days, and had to pile stuff in the wardrobe.

Even though we booked month's ago, once again given a disabled access room. Would have asked to be moved if staying longer.

Beautiful! Only negative was no AC on a very warm night but all else was outstanding!

Lovely hotel, in beautiful setting. Staff very friendly - had a great couple of days.

Wasn’t a great experience over charged and

Excellent staff, lovely hotel and great facilities

The staff was eager and prompt to accommodate any request, I may have had extremely polite and professional!

Stunning hotel, staff were extremely welcoming, rooms are beyond comfortable & food + cocktails were amazing.

The hotel looks lovely and the room was nice but the staff are so badly trained - in particular the staff in the bar where we ate. Waited forever for order to be taken, food to come, then wrong food came… and no management to escalate to. Breakfast needs to come into the modern world too - not everyone wants the fried food breakfast! The Spa was the saving grace….

Staff were very friendly and efficient. Service 100 percent. Great location excellent food.

Good stopping point on the way to your destination.

We enjoyed everything about Johnstown Estate! Such a relaxing atmosphere. So grateful for easy parking and the helpful staff. Absolutely beautiful grounds and excellent accommodations. Very friendly people. Enjoyed our first Guinness in Ireland at The Coach House. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. Highly recommend, but give yourself a few days to really enjoy!

Beautiful property, relaxing and quiet.

Great place to unwind after a week in rural Ireland. About 40 mins from the airport, we enjoyed the quiet & luxury. There is a walled garden & walk thru the woods just beyond that are worth checking out. "Two Bedroom House" that we stayed in feels like an upscale condo, nice bathroom, but be aware 2nd bath is a 1/2 bath on the 1st floor

Walking trails were great, especially for the kids. The bar food was a little limited, but the afternoon scones were to die for. Pity I only discovered them on my last day. Only complaint was the storage/drawer space in the rooms. We were there for 10 days, and had to pile stuff in the wardrobe.

Lovely establishment with parking directly in front of the lodges. Great amenities and restaurant

Good place to stay. Grounds are amazing, the cocktail bar is fab

A lovely hotel with excellent service, room beautifully presented, nice bar/restaurant. excellent breakfast choices and lovely walks around the grounds

When we went for breakfast. Things went wrong we were ushered to a seating away from the dining area. All good self service food gorgeous but there was ONE girl at the end of the counter trying her best to toast bread for everyone.when we got back to the table with was now a cold breakfast. There was no salt or Anything else on the table. I stirred my tea with the handle of the breakfast spoon.

The food was terrible,we waited over an hour then when it arrived it was over cooked,I had steak they took it back and the next one was the same,the manager was very nice about it,then an alarm went off in the early hours,was very disappointed with the whole experience,we won't be back.
