Hotel Ard Na Sidhe

Quite possibly this is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. It is the definition of understated elegance. The grounds of the property themselves are worth it in their own right. Service is impeccable from drinks in the lounge through to the dining room. Beautiful big rooms. We stayed in the main house - I think there might be some rooms in another wing, but I would recommend staying in the house. Dinner was excellent. Only area for improvement was potentially breakfast, which was OK, but not outstanding - however didn’t detract from what was overall an incredible stay.

While we enjoyed many aspects of the hotel- the gorgeous and secluded location on the lake, the well decorated common areas with antiques and stunning views, and an excellent dinner the one night we ate there, the Ard Na Sidhe Country House was not a 4 star luxury hotel. Our room in the Garden Annex was clean and comfortable but small and characterless. The bathroom was tiny, with no room to store toiletries without them falling over. The towels were not soft and cushy. Turndown service was provided only 1 of the 3 nights we were there. The breakfast buffet was good quality but a much smaller selection than at other 4 star hotels on our trip, and the service was slow and lackluster. I would hope the rooms in the main building may be larger and have more character than the Garden Annex.

This beautiful boutique hotel, set in magnificent scenery and grounds, is a must. Debbie and her staff are warm, friendly, helpful, thoughtful. Everything about this place is idyllic. Food is devine. The staff will bend over backwards to accommodate your needs. It doesn't matter which room you stay in, they are all delightful, beautifully decorated. We can't wait for 2027 to visit again!
