OAK WOOD ARMS HOTEL SHANNON

Advantages: Very good Hotel, great service
Disadvantages: In the wrong place.

Just back from a weekend Jaunt to Ireland. We flew Ryanair Eastmidlands to Shannon, £38 return (No hold luggage and online checkin). We booked the Oakwood Arms at Shannon, this was mainly as our return flight was 09:30 Monday morning and we did not want to get up early to travel. We booked it thru LATEROOMS.COM for 85 Euros a night for Double room with Buffet Breakfast. Ireland seems to be pricey for Hotels, so this was not too bad (We do cheaper ...
...Car so after picking that up it was just a 10 min Drive into Shannon and the Hotel. First Impressions were very good, better than most of the reviews we had read. Its a low level building on the edge of Shannon, not that there's much in the middle of Shannon, just seems to be a Housing Estate. Checkin looks very smart and professional, we were checked in in just a few minutes, all was explained Breakfast Times, location of Restaurant and Sophies ...

Review of Oak Wood Arms Hotel, Shannon

'Olde Worlde' Charm

Advantages: Good food, high quality service
Disadvantages: Adare, although picturesque, is a bit 'touristy'

...and high quality restaurant. The Dunraven Arms is right in the heart of the village. A rambling 2 storey hotel with and 'olde worlde' pub and Egon Ronay approved restaurant at its centre. Facilities are good with a superbly kitted out health centre and some high quality shops within the hotel. The hotel caters for small business conferences and events with a very reasonable day delegate rate. Accommodation is excellent, our room had a 4 poster bed ...
...know that many golfers sampling the course stay at the Dunraven. I was only in Limerick for the day on business and stayed at the Dunraven on a friend's recommendation. I would like to pass that recommendation on. If you find yourself in Co Limerick, seek out the Dunraven Arms. ...

An English Man & An Irish Woman walk into a hotel

Advantages: Location, Service, Design, Pure luxury
Disadvantages: Expensive, Quite secluded location you'll need transport

...now!), got married at the Clandeboye Lodge in Bangor Northern Ireland. As I spent a good few days in and around the Hotel I think I have gathered enough information to put something together! ~~~~Location Ok, so I guess the first thing is to explain where the Clandeboye Lodge is! The Clandeboye Lodge is situated in County Down, Northern Ireland, about 20 minutes from George Best Belfast City Airport. This means that it is only a few minutes from ...
...you are staying at the Clandeboye it is worth making sure that you have a car to use. Although the Hotel is placed in beautiful Irish countryside, it is not within walking distance of anything, and the roads are busy enough to make you think twice about wandering off down the country lanes. Although the Hotel is off the main roads, it is by no means hard to find, as it is just of the A2, the main road from Bangor to Belfast and it is signposted ...

Review of Clandeboye Lodge Hotel, Bangor

Good food good wine and good craic

Advantages: excellent facilities
Disadvantages: having to go home

The week before our disasterous trip to the Murrayfield hotel (see my op)my sons rugby team where invited to Ballina county Mayo, for a rugby tournament, as this is three hours drive from where we live we decided that an overnight stay was a must. So a group of very willing parents got together and travelled in a convoy to Southern Ireland. Prior to our trip I had accessed all the hotels on the net and found the Downhill Inn, I had originally tried ...
...rugby tournament and the fishing competition it was booked out and they referred me to the Downhill Inn. The Downhill Inn is amongst Mayo's gems - priding itself on offering value for money, excellent service and quality accommodation - this family-owned and managed 3 star hotel is a real treat to discover. After a three hour Journey we arrived, to find a very warm welcome from the hotel staff, not what we expected as our entourage comprised of ...

Two Star Mediocrity at 4 star prices,Killyhevlin

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Overpriced,mis-classiffied, mediocre

...this review helpful Booked the killyhevlin because it claimed to be a four star hotel. What a let down. The Killyhevlin is tatty, outdated hotel. The foyer was a warning , adorned as it was with fruit machines! The carpet in the wing in which our room was situated was stained and dirty. The room was poorly furnished with scratched and damaged cheap furniture that would have looked cheap even when it was new, which I'm guessing was in the 80's. The ...
...there. All in all the Killyhevlin is a downbeat 2 star roadhouse/motel badly in need of modernization and a damm good cleaning and certainly desperatley in need of some trained professional waiting staff. If you want to pay £70 per person per night sharing for mediocrity and a "couldn't give a care" attitude, then this is the place for you. The hotel has been given 4 stars by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board, either their inspector is related ...
