Beautiful hotel

We arrived very early so the room wasn't ready understandably, they took our number and phoned us as soon as it was, which was 2 hours before check in. Room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and hot

6/10 Good

If you're a couple having a relaxing weekend away I wouldn't book this hotel. If you're a family with kids it would be a great hotel to stay in. Booked for a couples weekend since I saw it was 4 star and had a spa so it ended up not being a very relaxing hotel experience but it was fine since we were out most of the time.

A great stay

It was a great family stay. The jurassic park was amazing. Very family friendly. The hotel was busy. Room was comfortable but could do with some updating. The family suite with fridge, microwave and sink was a great asset to have. Overall, a nice stay and we would return.

Great place to visit, can't wait to return!

Great family hotel, very friendly staff, fast service which really accomodates young children. Fabulous facilities all around and of course the Jurassic Park is an extra special place, especially for kids who love dinosaurs! So much to do without being fleeced at every turn. Family of 5 and we had an absolute ball!! Girls already asking to go again!

Scotts bar is fantastic Family meal was excellent Breakfast however is a disaster 5 pieces of toast for 5 people Not enough tea or coffee
Dave, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved this property for many reasons. The food was great. The pool and spa area was a great surprise. It was kid friendly and there was a steam room, plunge bath, hot tub and sauna for adults. There is a great petting zoo, park, dinosaur walk and fairy lane for kids. The room was a bit hot, the AC was loud and didn’t work thoroughly however it could be because it’s Ireland and we are Canadians with different weather extreme experience! Overall would recommend!

4/10 Fair

Nice place , food was fantastic, some of the fitting in the room were loose coming out from the wall, the bed wasn’t made and our cups were not cleaned or tea station replenished , The cost of 2 nights B&B was nothing short of extortion, we could have flown to Spain for a week all inclusive for what it cost here for 2 nights B&B we will be avoiding a return and not recommending to others ,how they justify the cost is beyond me ,
Frederick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad but not great

Nice hotel, excellent staff very helpful and friendly, food was nice, but very dirty carpets and windows, lose fixtures in the bathroom, and only a waterfall shower head no smaller shower head for rinsing, feel like the attention to detail was missing, also as a couple we were put in the wing with all family room s which wasnt ideal, our room had 3 beds which restricted the size of the room, and located with just families didnt make it a relaxing break with children screaming in the halls at 8am
Geraldine, 1-night trip

Roonmm was cold heating nit working phone was broke breakfast not nice
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Definitely recommend and will be back!

Really recommend this hotel which is beautifully appointed, has excellent food and the best hotel health club and spa I have come across. I will definitely be back for a spa break. Only issue was that I specifically asked for a quiet room away from the families as I known this hotel caters well for them and my room was a family room right in the middle of all the families, though the peacock woke me up more than the crying children. Went to meet the peacocks, who were having a crow off with a T-Rex, and no that’s not a typo, the Newpark has a Jurassic Park full of animatronic dinosaurs, an animal farm, and extensive children’s play facilities. Looking forward to bringing the grandchildren here, when they arrive….! Till then it’ll be spa breaks.

Incredible Family-Friendly Stay!

We had an amazing experience at the Newpark Hotel in Kilkenny! The hotel itself is beautiful and well-maintained, but what really sets it apart is how perfect it is for families. There’s Jurassic Newpark adventure park attached with a variety of animals to visit, which our kids absolutely loved. The playground and large inflatable were huge hits and gave us plenty of time to relax while the kids were entertained for hours. The hotel staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant. Everything from the rooms to the dining areas felt family-friendly without sacrificing comfort or style. This is truly one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in Ireland for traveling with children — a perfect mix of luxury and fun!

6/10 Good

Not worth $700 for two nights

It was definitely not worth what we paid. The air-conditioning didnt work very well and the family hotel room was very very basic and not very big. The restaurant was terrible. Made a reservation for 730 and didnt get sat till almost 8. When we were sat it was in the back of the resteraunt in the corner was soooooooo hot. The wait staff was stressed and the it was palpable. Sadly we wouldn't recommend to stay there and definitely not to eat there.

4/10 Fair

So many children running about and crying- staff totally overwhelmed. everything had to be prebooked due to the numbers if families so did not feel like a holiday. Pool full of kids- I have older kids so understand kids are unpredictable but we were also on holiday and the numbers were just overwhelming. hotel felt like a giant uncleaned playground for toddlers. sorry but not a nice experience as s holiday…only if you have toddlers.

Very nice hotel with lots of included options. Reservations for breakfast, pool, etc. are a bit confusing and complicated when traveling with kids.
