An excellent hotel with generous and comfortable rooms. The food was delicious, the standard of service was very good and the gym was very well equipped. The hotel was also well placed for access to the town and we enjoyed a thoroughly pleasant walk around Birr.

From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out the staff couldn't do enough for us. The rooms were very big and lovely comfortable beds, big bathroom with lovely complimentary toiletries. We visited the spa which was lovely and clean and lots of facilities all of which we were able to use. Again the staff in the spa were fabulous and very attentive. We ate in the bar at night and found the food excellent value for money and very nice. Portion sizes were very good too. Breakfast in the morning was lovely with plenty of choice from the hot buffet plus you could order other items e.g smashed advacado, poached eggs etc. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would definitely return hopefully soon.

The walled garden and grounds are really beautiful with a hexagonal outdoor room to sit in and read or relax. A short walk into the town and a gorgeous walk along the Camcor riverbank. The incredible Birr library is nearby and not to be missed. Birr Castle tour was very enjoyable and the grounds and Science museum are wonderful. We loved Birr so much it’s our 2nd stay in three months.

We had a lovely stay - staff were friendly, room was gorgeous with a super comfy bed and great water pressure in the shower. Also loved the Rituals cosmetics in the bathroom. Food from the bar was delicious and incredibly good value for money - just be mindful the 'formal restaurant' is only open on some evenings. Breakfast was absolutely outstanding - best I've ever had in a hotel I think. Swimming pool, steam room and sauna were lovely to use in the morning before leaving.
