Raheen Woods Hotel

There are genuinely not enough words I can say! We had our wedding in the Raheen woods in February this year and it was the best choice we could have made. We had been to the Raheen for other weddings and dinners before and the food has always been top tear. When it came to looking for venues we viewed other hotels but no where seemed to cater for everything we wanted. From the moment we had our first meeting in the Raheen and had a tour around we knew 100% this was the venue for our wedding. Oisin, Catherine, Lauren and all the staff were so accommodating. We had some non traditional aspects we wanted to add to our day and no request was too big or too small for the team. Oisin kept in contact with us in the lead up to the wedding, which was lovely! And even advised on other local vendors, Ideas he had seen before that he thought would suit the vision for our day and was always reachable when we needed him. We had a small ceremony of immediate family first and held the reception with approx. 130 afterwards. We were very go with the flow couple, we knew some important things we definitely wanted and didn't care too much about the rest. The whole team was great for advice but never once overstepped and made us feel so calm in the lead up and on the day. They were very accommodating with our ideas for ceremony and dinner layouts. They did everything they could to give us the day we dreamed of. They gave us such a feeling that they had everything under control and we could just sit back and truly enjoy our day. The Food is always just WOW in there. No matter if you are there for a huge wedding or just popping in for your Sunday dinner, The service and quality is amazing every time. They catered for allergies on the day, coeliac and lactose free guests without making a fuss or drawing attention which was fantastic. The layout of the hotel is fabulous, It was so nice having a separate entrance to the 'ceremony/ reception area' and away from the main reception desk to the hotel. It meant we had some privacy from other holiday goers and guests to the hotel. The gardens are amazing during the day but it all lit up at night was stunning. All our guests were delighted with their rooms and all very grateful that the hotel adjusted the breakfast time for us the next day. Some of our guests went for a swim the next morning too and loved it! Nothing was too expensive, The team worked with our budget and had flexible packages to suit every kind of wedding. Truthfully I would have paid double what we did for the service and kindness we received from everyone. We cannot wait to return for another stay at this hotel soon. Having our wedding here was the best decision we made and I am so glad we get to think of Oisin, Catherine and the team every time we think of our day now. Would not have changed a thing!! Thank you Thank you Thank you, We are Forever Grateful

Lovely 2 night family stay. Couldnt give more praise to the staff. From check in, to dinner and breakfast every member of staff were so friendly and welcoming. The staff stood out from anywhere we have visited lately. Very kid friendly. Swimming pool was perfect way to keep them occupied. New playground in athenry and also an indoor play area at the hotel & fairy garden with lots of green area to run around freely. Kids loved the pancake machine at breakfast. Brilliant hospitality & service. Highly recommend for a family stay. Thank you

It's a hotel in name only. No service as such. Staff not really interested in service, ust there. Unbelievable, there charge extra if you want what they term 'speciality' coffee with breakfast (lat white, cappuccino ect.). The breakfast on the two mornings I stayed seemed to be as if it came as a surprise to staff that was a service, and it all looked like it was an afterthought, with all the food items set out on tables, rather than being a dedicated service set up. If you want a drink at the bar where there was only five customers be prepared to wait until they feel like approaching you. And I witnessed two guests having to come from their rooms to collect food that was supposed to be delivered to them in their room. Speaking of the rooms, they were dated, shower over bath ect. No one on reception in the late evening. It looks good on arrival and the lobby is nice, but it's not to hotel standard.
