Tulfarris Hotel and Golf Resort

comfortable room and environment delicious breakfast nice staff

My wife and I went to this hotel last week and had an amazing time. That staff were exceptionally helpful (from the extremely helpful and efficient check in staff to the amazing Chloe in the restaurant) and they made the stay for us. When my wife asked if there was any chance we could get upgraded to a room with a better view, there was no problem. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food and the service was amazing. the Lamb was outrageously good and our server, Chloe, was brilliant. so attentive. I would totally recommend this hotel.

Beautiful location and hotel is gorgeous. Staff very friendly and accommodating and the rooms are enormous. The toilets are very odd, so low down it feels like they bought ones designed for children!! Food was super for both dinner and breakfast and the views from the restaurant at breakfast time were absolutely stunning. One other odd thing (first world problem I admit) hotels in Ireland do not for some reason have avocado's! Asked for them with eggs for breakfast at Tulfarris and other hotels whilst staying on vacation and was looked at as if we were very strange people and got a very firm no on each occasion.

Very assessable from home. Excellent golf course in superb condition with fantastic greens & wonderful views over the lakes. Very comfortable room 110. Excellent dinner and staff so a really excellent venue. Damian Jennings

Prepare for an early morning call with lawnmower noise in the summer. It's a very small restaurant upstairs but a nice feeling to it. Shame our dinner was ruined by extremely loud, drunk, rude golfers from the north... Read the room and relax and enjoy a peaceful dinner chatting NOT shouting and laughing extremely loudly for all to hear. Shame no management quietened them down politely as everyone (other staff included) were getting annoyed at their vulgar nature and very vulgar language also. Shame it ruined a lovely night away.

We booked this through a well-known travel website (RTC) where the deal included bed, breakfast, and a spa treatment each. There was also meant to be a box of chocolates in the room, but there was no sign of this. The highlight was definitely the Spa treatment. Michelle, the therapist, was wonderful. Very skilled and professional as well as being friendly. Unfortunately it was downhill from there. The weather was nice but we couldn't sit outside due to a very obvious wasp problem and the liklihood of a nest nearby. It became unbearable, so we moved inside. I understand this is no one's fault, but a can of wasp spray is cheap. The service in the bar was good, but the food was average at best. Later on in the evening I ordered a passionfruit martini which wasn't drinkable. I brought it back and was told "we ran out of some of the key ingredients so we substituted them" I found this really strange! Not really acceptable at €15 each and dangerous if there are allergies etc. The room was ok, Comfortable and clean but needs a bit of an upgrade (limescale on sink etc) We went to breakfast at 9am and were left sitting there with no tea/coffee or water for about 35 minutes. Lots of staff running around but no one really seemed to know what they were doing. We had to ask for coffee 3 times until I physically followed a staff member and waited to make sure she got it. There seems to be a real lack of training or interest. There were no bowls or plates to be seen, and when they did appear, it was a mass surge from all the guests who seemed to be as confused as we were. Food ran out within 2 minutes, and there was no sign of it being replenished. I managed to bag two sausages before we gave up. I believe there is a wedding there today, so it's busy, but in my opinion, it's no excuse for poor service or quality. It's a shame as the grounds are beautiful, but we won't be returning.
