From the moment we parked the car until the moment we left we had a 5 star experience. All staff went above and beyond to greet us and make us feel welcome. Marie on reception was so warm and welcoming. She made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond to explain everything to us. We got talking to another staff member Gavin, who informed us all about the hotel when we were chatting and again was so warm and friendly towards us. Highly Highly Highly recommend staying here!
We have been coming to Carton House for the last 10 years with our family and last year under the new ownership of Fairmount we didn't find the overall experience very good but it has improved this year. The service at breakfast and food was excellent, the reception staff were lovely. We ate every night in the Club House and the food was a bit hit and miss over the three nights. The deserts from the children's menu were better than the adults but the child's pizza's were very poor and the penne pasta with tomato sauce could be improved on , even the addition of some vegetables or an option to add in chicken. I had the butternut squash ravioli one night and it was lovely but the portion size for a main dish was very small. My son and husband had the pavlov desert the first night and it was very dry, with only a small amount of icecream as my son said it was very dusty and dry. On the last night they tried it again and asked for a small side bowl of cream and it got a big thumbs up that night. The staff at breakfast service were fantastic, to the person who greeted us at the door to the staff who served the breakfast dishes. A much better location for breakfast that the Linden Restaurant where breakfast was served before. We also availed of the Archery lessons which were great but unfortunatley we couldn't do other activities on the water as the water levels were too low. In order to encourage more families to stay in the hotel it would be great to have these extra activities available as well as the tennis, the bikes and the pool. The golf course is a wonderful amenity but not everyone golfs or if you have small children as able to avail of the golf on your stay. Every member of staff were very friendly from the cleaning staff up to management and even when you met them on the corridors had a friendly hello .

We enjoyed our stay very much! Each employee that worked there were SO nice and very helpful. The only downside was the air conditioning - it wasn't strong enough - but besides that everything was excellent and we will definately stay with you again at The Carton House
Excellent service from all the team at reception,concierge, breakfast and the Carriage House.. they were so accommodating of the young children. Food was excellent.. breakfast, the Carriage House and Kathleen’s Kitchen.. looking forward to a return in 1/2 months ..
Hotel is amazing, the breakfast & food was top class, having stayed there previously on Mayo GAA training camps. Disappointing with the pool facilities, no showers working the morning we visited, no signage up to inform us before entering. You can imagine with a 1 and 2 year old children. On another occasion the temperature of the water wasn’t any where comfortable.

I wouldn't be publishing this as a public review, as there were many positives, but definitely not a five star experience. It didn't bode well when we arrived in reception to check in when our receptionist immediately ran off to help another family so we were just left sitting there with no idea of what was going on. Eventually, another very young girl came over to check us in. As Accor members and because our initial experience had been so poor, I asked for an upgrade and she did facilitate this. She told us the room would be ready in 15 mins so we headed into the bar to get a cup of tea. Our wait was actually 45 mins and the lovely Anna took great care of us, but as we only had a one-night stay, spending an hour waiting for our room was not part of our plan. The room itself was okay. There was an issue with the toilet flush which made noise all night, which distrubed my husband's sleep. What rescued the entire stay was our experience in The Morrison Room. They understand five-star service and delivered accordingly. It was my birthday and they went above and beyond to make it a memorable one. When we went to check out, again there was a problem because the very pleasant but very young receptionist tried to charge me again, despite I being told that my Accor points had already been used against the cost of my booking at check in. I know there are issues with staffing across the hospitality sector, but your reception staff are the first point of contact and can make or break a stay and I worry that given how young your reception staff are, they haven't experienced real five-star service themselves and therefore can't deliver it. As I say, I wouldn't publish these issues publicly but would rather share them with yourselves so you can make improvements. The girls are lovely and professional and are doing the best, but need more training to deliver five-star service.
