Lovely

Always a lovely stay at this hotel; small and personal with very attentive staff. The spa is a great addition and the grounds are lovely. The restaurant menu is limited for vegetarians and this is my only critique, other than the surcharge for parking which felt a little like an upsell. Nonetheless, I will be back!

Nice Hotel

We had free upgrade room 16 . Room had nice view of the garden from the balcony. The room was a bit tired.furniture had a few knocks and the bathroom had mold on bath and tiles. Nice touch with free gin in the room. The staff very friendly but on the Sunday needed extra staff. The spa was nice and clean. The restaurant was nice and staff good service. Breakfast was good. Just disappointed you have to pay for car parking

Leavi-Niall, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was very nice clean and spacious, The food was that nice we stayed in both evenings to enjoy. The only complaint if any was the jacuzzi style plunge pool broke down on the first evening of our stay therefore it was not available throughout which is one of the main reasons we booked this hotel. The staff were very helpful throughout the stay.
Carl, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a really lovely stay for 2 nights at Rothay Garden. We booked dinner on the first night which was high quality. The views over the garden from the restaurant were really relaxing. We booked a luxury room which was really clean and spacious and had a terrace.
