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

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

Limerick Hotels

Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort Limerick
The fairytale splendour of Adare Manor struck us as soon as we drove up through the magnificent gardens. Built during the Irish famine, surrounded by 840 acres .... read the review of Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort Limerick

Radisson SAS Limerick
The Radisson SAS at Limerick has a lot going for it, excellent executive rooms and twenty acres of landscaped gardens and views of the Woodcock Mountains are just the icing on the cake... read review for Radisson SAS Limerick

Tipperary Hotels

Baileys of Cashel, Tipperary
For a number of years Baileys of Cashel was our favourite “pit-stop” when driving throughout Ireland, as the food there was exceptional. Situated in the centre of the country, if we were not actually passing through we often made a detour to visit Cashel, as we loved Baileys so much... read the review of Baileys of Cashel

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


Marriott Johnstown House Meath

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


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
