Carton House, a Fairmont Managed Hotel

It is a lovely hotel. However the service was lacking slightly for a 5 star hotel. For example, they were aware the tv was broken in most rooms, but there did not seem to be an impetus to fix them. The door to our bedroom was not working properly and there were smaller cosmetic issues most particularly noticed in the gym. It was a lovely stay, but there definitely is room for improvement.

We stayed for two nights in June. I found the whole booking process tedious and disjointed at times especially not being able to book exactly what we wanted but hoped that would change once we arrived. When we did arrive I realised that there was quite a large conference going on with lots of delegates also staying at the Hotel. I have no problem with this but feel we should of been given a heads up as it did affect restaurant booking and also trying to get a drink at the bar in the evening was a real pain with only 1 sometimes 2 staff who clearly couldn't cope. We were also overcharged by €1000 on check out which took a little time to resolve and shouldn't of as it was clearly obvious where the calculation was wrong. On a positive note the staff were all very helpful and welcoming.

Had a lovely night in Carton House recently the Hotel looks great and has retained a lovely ambience. Had dinner in Carriage house staff and food top notch lunch in Courtyard bar and lady (Anna) who served us made excellent recommendations my partner had Seafood sandwich I had Chicken salad I have been served by Anna over the years She's a great ambassador for your Hotel we will be back.

We had a good stay. We were disappointed by the spa facilities which felt a little tired. We enjoyed the Carriage house restaurant. Breakfast was average.

We stayed at Carton house for one night celebrating my daughter’s birthday. We had a seamless check in with Anna who made our arrival very special. We had 4 rooms and all were furnished beautifully and very clean. We had gorgeous cocktails in the courtyard bar hosted by Richard and a fantastic meal in Kathleen’s kitchen where Victoria the restaurant manager and her team made sure we were very well looked after with our special occasion noted. As we were a large table we were lucky to have breakfast in a private section where the original tiles of Kathleen’s kitchen remain. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning.

Amazing property with more amazing staff and management. Loved it. Rooms and Golf was excellent. Coach House restaurant had fabulous service and it has one of the best breakfast rooms in the world in my opinion. Lots of park land to walk around to enjoy the view of old and new.

This review is based on the beautiful hotel and lovely staff, but please refer to our glowing Google review if you’re interested in having your wedding at the Carton House -- you will NOT be disappointed. From the moment you check-in, you are treated as royalty at the Carton House. We have traveled extensively and Carton House by far is one of the most stunning hotel resorts we’ve ever stepped foot on. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure your experience is unforgettable. The lobby, all the restaurants, manor house, spa/pool, the grounds/garden, golf course and sleeping rooms are well-kept, smell divine and all have unique characteristics. Our favorite memories during our stay is with Eunice and Grace in the Gold Salon during our breakfast. They are the most professional and welcoming people we have ever met. And we cannot forget to mention they make the BEST cappuccinos. Johnny at the lobby bar not only makes the best cocktails, but was a delight to talk to and so welcoming. Jack, the bellman, was always asking how he could be helpful and enhance our stay. Everyone at the front desk during our stay greeted us with friendly faces. Sarah in the spa gave one of the best massages I’ve had in a long time and my favorite part was the relaxation room afterwards with sorbet and apple juice! We enjoyed lunches and dinners in the Carriage House with Sarah and Amy as they are service oriented and fun to chat with! The PM Front Desk Manager on the night of our wedding was a godsend as he provided us with waters, helped us order late night pizza and set up breakfast room service for the morning after our wedding—the best way to wrap up the best day of our life! Our room was refreshed daily and felt so clean and comfortable, the turn down service was also immaculate and a nice way to wrap up our amazing evenings. If you’re able to make your way to the Carton House, you will be immersed in history, warmly welcomed by the best staff and find yourself at one of the most exquisitely beautiful hotels in the world.
