Aghadoe Heights Hotel & Spa

We had a wonderful afternoon tea at Aghadoe Heights Hotel yesterday, and it was a truly special experience from beginning to end. Firstly, when you arrive, you’re greeted with a warm smile and a friendly hello from the Reception team — always a good start! 🙂 The room where afternoon tea is served has one of the most stunning views of the lakes. It really is a “must-see” in its own right. We were welcomed into the restaurant by the lovely Maura, who showed us to our table. What a wonderful lady! She has perfected the balance between being warm, friendly and welcoming, with just the right amount of good Irish banter, while remaining completely professional. She made us feel instantly at ease. The afternoon tea itself is unlike any other we have experienced — and believe me, we’ve had a lot! 🤣 Rather than everything being placed in front of you at once, the afternoon tea is served in individual courses. The aim is to showcase wonderful local produce while encouraging you to slow down, relax and really enjoy the experience — and they have absolutely succeeded. Maura talked us through each course as it arrived, explaining the produce and the thought behind each part of the experience. It felt much more like an occasion than simply having afternoon tea. And the food? Absolutely divine. I can honestly say the whole experience felt very special — beautifully thought out, relaxed and a real cut above anything else we have experienced. It’s clear that a great deal of care has gone into creating something genuinely different. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable afternoon tea experience. We’ll definitely be back very soon! ❤️

What a fantastic hotel! This is a first class hotel with gracious service, amenities galore, beautiful view and surroundings and fantastic food. You just can’t go wrong here. They even had a yoga mat in the room. Highly recommend this beautiful oasis.

Such an amazing hotel with a once in a lifetime view! The Lake Room was such an incredible experience for dining but would have been nothing without Ruth! She was our server for the evening and added such a fun touch to incredible cuisine
