comments We stayed in the Brandon with our 2 young daughters. The hotel was lovely and the staff were great. The receptionist was the nicest in any hotel we've stayed. The facilities were great and the kids loved the pool. The food was great too. The room we had was very basic but clean and had everything we needed, and overall we had a great weekend.

comments The Brandon is a beautiful country house, the staff are excellent & the new spa is top class. We have stayed here several times & never been disappointed. The resturant serves great food & has a lovely atmosphere. For more casual dining the bar food is equaly as good. We love this hotel so much that we had our wedding reception there a year ago even though we live more than 50 miles away! Cannot recommended enough for families and couples.

comments Hotel is very pleaseant to stay in for 3 star. Rooms are basic decor but clean. I would rate the staff very highly indeed. The only issue I would have is with the food. Although the choice and presentation is very appealing, the food is sometimes cold, or smothered in sauce so it's hit and miss. I've stayed in the hotel twice and both times fealt the same. An example is this time I had the nicest rack of lamb main course I've had anywhere - an absolutely gorgeous dinner. But then I had apple crumble for dessert. The crumble was mush and the custard, of which there was too much, was hot in places and cold in places suggesting to me that the dessert was heated in the microwave, something I wouldnt even do myself with crumble and I'm not a cook, never mind a chef !

comments While the common areas of the hotel are nicely decorated, the bedroom was dated and a bit dark. The staff were lovely and we had a small child with us so found them all very helpful and nice. In relation to the Spa, I didn't think I got value for money.

comments The room was very nice, and we were very impressed with the leisure centre. Breakfast was a bit disorganised on the first morning and they ran out of eggs as we were queueing but Sunday was fine. The meal in the restaurant on Saturday night was lovely and the service was excellent. The only other quibble we had with the hotel was the loud live music friday night in the library bar. We would have much rathered they didtn bother with any music and we felt it took from the overall ambience of the place.

comments Really enjoyed my stay, couldn?t fault it in any way, I have stayed in a lot of Hotel's/Health Spa's but have to say this was my best experience as the staff were so friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent and the Health Spa was the icing on the cake. Initially i only booked a 2 day stay but ended staying for 3 days because i felt so relaxed and at home. Will deffently recommend The Brandon House Hotel to my fiends & staff and will most deffently be returning myself.

comments Better entertainment - hotel is out of the way therefore people are more likely to have a drink in the hotel. The bedroom was very cold, probably because it was the last room on the corridor and on the ground floor. Food/services etc. were excellent. Staff were brilliant. Really enjoyed our stay.

comments Comfortable, warm and friendly hotel with very good leisure and pool facilities for all the family. The newly opened Spa is a supert place to relax and be pampered. Perhaps if a games room was available so children could have a few hours to play games, read and just hang-out would be great. Overall, the food, service and rooms were inded very good and enjoyable.

comments pool excellent ,water grotto good. meal little dissapointing, starter, 'bed of leaves' like something you find in bottom of fridge that needs chucking out, wilted, no dressing, meat in main course beautifully cooked, but veg scarce and poor enough, dessert fine. Breakfast nice but not enough teapots! no marmalade.. Rooms adequate. No comparison to Radison in Limerick where we stayed for same price!

comments This hotel has a unique style. It combines the old world style of the original "big" house with high-tech environmentally friendly design in the modern spa. Its recent modernisation seems to be localised and some areas are a little tired in decor, however, it has the friendliest & most helpful staff we've encountered in recent years travelling around Ireland. As a family of four we had a wonderful weekend, the only downside was that we would have preferred advance warning of the bedroom arrangement (i.e. bunk beds and very small)

comments We had rang and asked for a room with one double bed and no other beds as we were bringing along a travel cot for our child. But when we got there, our room had a double and a single bed so we had to push the single bed over to make room for the travel cot. It just made the room very small for three people despite my phone request!

comments I found the hotel staff very helpful and friendly. Because the hotel has a lot of weddings and such like on, we found that the parking could be a problem but to be fair, we always got a space in the end. Although it may have taken a while to find one and it was a futher distance from the hotel than we would have liked. I used the Beauty Spa and found it was only ok. The food in both the restaurant and the bar was lovely and the service very good. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the kids loved the swimming pool!
