Up to date reviews of hotels in the Midlands of Ireland including Laois, Westmeath and Kilkenny.

Carlow Hotels

Mount Wolseley Carlow
It is the road less travelled, in my experience. The road that is, to beautiful County Carlow, a lush and lovely east-midlands pocket of Ireland that is not too far from anywhere really, but somehow still undiscovered ... read the review of Mount Wolseley Carlow

Cavan Hotels

Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club
When looking for a great hotel in Cavan, we were very pleased with the Slieve Russell. We loved the extensive gardens, the friendly service, the fabulous spa and our very comfortable bedroom. While we did not play golf during our visit, we did enjoy some excellent treatments in the spa, and would recommend the hotel for a good spa break, a family friendly holiday, and it is certainly very popular for weddings.... read the review of the Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club, Cavan

Kildare Hotels

Carton House, Maynooth, Kildare
The approach drive to Carton House is breathtaking – mature trees, waterways, woodland, and golf courses and in the distance sits one of Ireland’s oldest historic houses... Read the review of Carton House, Maynooth, Kildare


Killashee House Hotel & Villa Spa - Kildare
There are a lot of reasons why Killashee House Hotel & Villa Spa is high on our list of favourite hotels in Ireland. Due to the location, a mere twenty minutes from Dublin (if you are not too unlucky with the traffic), it is the ideal base for business or pleasure on Ireland’s east coast. Then you also have the main road heading south just five minutes away, which means you can be in Cork or Limerick in a couple of hours...read the review of Killashee House Hotel & Villa Spa, Naas - Kildare


Moyvalley House, Moyvalley, Kildare
Driving up to Moyvalley Hotel through the mature trees and lush grassland, it was difficult to believe we were only 40 minutes from the busy city centre. It took us no time at all to reach the hotel taking the M4 from Dublin... Moyvalley House, Moyvalley, Kildare

Osprey Hotel & Spa Naas Kildare
We were very impressed when we visited Osprey recently, it really did exceed all expectations. We found it very easily as we came off the N7 coming from Limerick, and as soon as we arrived we were “wowed” by the quirky design, delighted with the friendly and efficient service and enthralled with our wonderful room... read the review of the Osprey Hotel & Spa Naas County Kildare

The Westgrove Hotel Naas Kildare
I found the Westgrove Hotel & Conference Centre easily enough from the N7 out of Dublin. Parking was painless, welcome was warm, the place was elegant ... read the review of The Westgrove Hotel Naas Kildare

Leitrim Hotels

Lough Rynn Castle Leitrim
It was the sound of all the birds singing in the mature trees that captured our attention as soon as we stepped out of the car. We had just driven up the impressive driveway and with the shimmering lake at one side, Lough Rynn Castle ... read the review of Lough Rynn Castle Leitrim

Meath Hotels

Hamlet Court Hotel - Meath
We were enjoying a fine breakfast, remarking how the freshly baked scones were so warm and crumbly, when I heard the lady at the next table say to her partner “this place was a great find, wasn’t it?”... Read the review of Hamlet Court - Meath

The Station House Hotel
A lot of people are choosing this hotel above all others as the dream wedding location. It is so pretty, so unique, and such wonderful food – and then there is the signal house..

Marriott Johnstown House Meath
We were thoroughly pampered on our recent visit to Johnstown House. We enjoyed a luxurious bedroom, free broadband access, beautiful bedding, fabulous food, super service, gorgeous grounds and unique spa treatments... read the review of the Marriott Johnstown House Meath


Trim Castle, Meath
With the sun setting by the historic ruins of Trim Castle, the feeling inside Trim Castle Hotel was mellow. Our welcome was warm and friendly... read the review of Trim Castle, Meath

Offaly Hotels

County Arms Hotel, Birr, Co. Offaly
There was a small wedding party being photographed in the grounds of the County Arms Hotel as I drove up for my first visit there recently. The sun was shining brightly, the garden was in full bloom and the style was stunning... read the review of the County Arms Hotel Birr Offaly

Roscommon Hotels

Kilronan Castle Estate Roscommon
Set in some of the country’s most unspoilt landscape, Kilronan Castle exceeded expectations on many levels when I visited. The approaching drive through quiet countryside coming upon the splendid sight of Lake Meelagh ... read the review of Kilronan Castle Estate Roscommon

Tipperary Hotels

Cashel Palace Hotel
Tucked away in acres of mature gardens yet central to Cashel town, the Cashel Palace Hotel has a unique location. In the past few years a visit to the town has been a real pleasure as the new by-pass has diverted all the heavy traffic away from its historic streets ...read the review of Cashel Palace Hotel


Coolbawn Quay, Tipperary
We had heard about Coolbawn Quay Lakeshore Spa and Marina for some time and were interested to visit as it sounded quite a different hotel experience from the norm. Indeed when we did head over to the north Tipperary resort it did take us some time to find it. This is no doubt part of its appeal, being off the beaten track ensures a very special experience. There is a long drive up to the resort, and although we arrived late and it was quite dark, we could see the lake gleaming before us and the boats bobbing on the water...........read the review of Coolbawn Quay, Tipperary

Westmeath Hotels

Annebrook House Hotel, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath
We headed into the heart of Ireland recently to visit Annebrook House Hotel in the thriving town of Mullingar.... read the review of Annebrook House Hotel


Bloomfield House Hotel Westmeath
The scenery around the Bloomfield House Hotel is just lovely – the serene waters of Lough Ennell and the acres of surrounding parkland made us feel immediately relaxed on arrival ... read review of Bloomfield House Hotel Westmeath


Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone, Co. Westmeath
It is very rare to find a hotel that can offer both a blissful retreat for stressed-out adults, and a holiday heaven for kiddies. Are both things not mutually exclusive?
Not so at Hodson Bay Hotel, we discovered.... read the review on the Hodson Bay Hotel, Westmeath


Temple Spa - Westmeath
While Ireland is gone quite “spa crazy” in recent years and many hotels are opening excellent facilities, Temple Country Retreat is a world apart....read the review of Temple Spa, Moate, Co. Westmeath
