The Johnstown Estate Lodges

Average hotel claiming to be 4 star was booked into the wrong room on arrival I didn’t notice so spoke to someone in the morning. I had upgraded when booking but was told no you haven’t by the receptionist I showed my receipt to her then she got the manager who wouldn’t speak to me at 1st as I was told by the receptionist they would change my room and refund me 20 euro. I asked if I could just stay in the original room at a reduced rate was told no, manager came out after I asked to speak to him. Room was changed I arrived back that night to pick up my stuff to fund the only difference in the rooms is the bed size I now had a king size bed but nothing else was different in the room so much for upgrading to a deluxe king room what a waste of money if you upgrade don’t bother. Food was okay breakfast good choice had steak in my last night there but it was chewy and fatty not worth the money.

Close to Dublin but peaceful surroundings. Fantastic Spa and gym. Comfortable rooms and dining facilities excellent

Lovely hotel and really friendly staff. Special shout out to the waiter who is doing his degree in astrophysics!

Food was lovely and staff are great but the hotel, pool and spa are tired and have seen better days. The bedroom door didn’t lock when leaving, the bedroom furniture and throws are worn. Everywhere was freezing until we asked for the air con to be turned down. The music in the bar was way too loud and very depressing and again it was freezing. The lockers in pool changing room didn’t lock/close and the spa area needs maintenance. A bit disappointing after what we paid!

We had a lovely stay, the bedrooms were spotless and spacious. The food was great! We only had one small issue and that being the spa, we couldn't believe it was €35 for 2 hours in the spa, whats usually complimentary at other hotels and estates we felt slightly let down. What made up for it was a lovely thermal village. It's taught us to look into spas more when we do go away.
