Myself and my husband stayed in the Lyrath recently and, although it had been over a year since our last visit, we were delighted to see many familiar faces among the staff members. The warm welcome on check-in is indicative of the friendly, high standard of service provided by the staff that ensures a relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable stay. The... More

This is my second trip to the Lyrath and would reccommend anyone to stay here. The rooms are really large and clean, the showers are amazing, the spa and pool were excellent and the food is fantastic. The staff go out of their way to be helpful.

Second stay here and was really looking forward to it. It's a gorgeous clean, beautifully decorated hotel and the staff are very helpful and friendly. However since our last stay management in my opinion have made some very detrimental cut backs. The most obvious being only opening one of the restaurants mid week. While this was in the small print... More

Hotel is great value for money and worth every one of its 5 stars. Rooms very comfortable and food is great. Like all great hotels its greatest asset is its staff. We stayed on 24th April, booked in for 2 nights. My wife took ill when we were in Kilkenny on the 1st night and needed an ambulance. When she... More

An astonishingly good massage treatment from a gifted therapist called Sue, and what a welcome from Stephanie! Most impressive! If you are staying at The Lyrath, or just visiting for a treatment, have a massage, but ask for Sue. Simply the best deep tissue massage that there is. I felt 4 inches taller afterward and slept like a proverbial baby... More

We stayed in the hotel at the start of May. We were blessed with fabulous weather which meant we could enjoy the grounds to the hotel and the walk around it. Kytlers restaurant and bar in Kilkenny was very good. We had the 10 oz steaks and they were huge and delicious. La Perla restaurant in the hotel was second... More

This is an incredible place. The most disappointing thing is that with our travel schedule, we were unable to take advantage of the pool, spa, and enjoying the grounds. The rooms are very nice but we did have a problem. There is a separate tub and shower. The shower is not raised or guarded but the same level as the... More

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights on our recent self tour through Ireland. The hotel and grounds are fantastic. Check in was easy, Luke at the front desk was phenomenal. The customer service he provided was outstanding. Walking around the grounds and through the original part of the estate building is encouraged. It is really a lovely,... More
