Just got back from a lovely wedding weekend here. The location is simply sublime, however it's…read morequite hard to access - take care on the road leading to the Lodge, it's steep and the road leading from Castlebaldwin requires careful handling. Unfortunately on our first day here the weather was miserable. Thankfully our second day was decidedly better, giving us the opportunity to explore the surrounding locale and take in the view of Lough Arrow. The food on offer here was brilliant, each course better than the last. The red cabbage mash being the highlight of my meal. The duck thigh also deserves an honourable mention - tender, juicy and flavoursome. Would happily recommend Cromleach Lodge for a weekend stay - great food, wonderful surroundings and friendly staff.

It took, maybe, three minutes. He also confirmed our dinner reservations for the evening. In the lobby (which was more like a grand hall), they had a lovely array of complimentary coffee, teas, and pastries...all served with beautiful bone china. The castle is absolutely stunning both inside and out. The interiors are grand, and the grounds are just beautiful. We spent several hours walking around the park-like setting, and had drinks on the terrace overlooking the garden. Fantastic. We also walked through every inch of the interior's public rooms...don't miss the church! The entrance to our room was tucked away under a staircase. When I first saw it I thought, "Oh no, this room is going to be the size of a closet". When we went in we were taken aback. It was massive, with a very comfortable bed, sitting area, bathroom and a huge jetted tub. And it was clean as a pin, too. Dinner in the castle's opulent Dining Room was exemplary. Service was friendly and good-humored, and the food was very, very good. My wife had the salmon and I had the beef; both were perfect. We did the 3 course meal for 65 euros each, and feel it was worth every penny. Breakfast the next morning was just as good. It was also in the Dining Room, and was included in the rate we paid. Hot food was ordered off the menu, and cool food (cereals, fruit, cold meats, etc.) were offered buffet style. One last thing: as opulent, grand, and over-the-top as Markree Castle is, the one thing it wasn't was pretentious. You don't have to break out your tux, or sequined cocktail dress; as long as you don't look like you just rolled out of bed, you should be fine. At dinner I wore a white dress shirt and a nice pair of green jeans; I felt perfectly comfortable. Out of the 12 nights we spent in Ireland, this was our favorite we stayed. It's more than just a bed to put your head on; it's an experience, and an amazing one at that.

Once you're there though, it's the perfect place to disappear to for a few days of relaxation. We stayed at the apartments on the estate, in a converted stables. They were really nicely set up, very comfortable. These are pet-friendly too, so our dog was able to join us for the trip. It was great to just be able to take her for a walk around the estate. Location wise, there's a lot to do for outdoorsy types. A couple of loughs and bogs are good for hikers, and a few nice pubs in nearby Coolooney.

Attitude from restaurant manager was quite standoffish and that was the standard. Probably should state on menu or train staff so they know to tell customers in advance of ordering. Then staff kept a wide birth from us for rest of meal unless bringing dishes. To top it off the wrong main course was brought and I couldn't get anyone's attention to confirm so to be honest just ate it as didnt want to have any more interactions with manager. Room was nice with 2 exceptions exposed electrical wires in bathrooms and wallpaper coming of wall under the window. Easy fixes to my mind that should have been taken care off.

Having our own car, the front desk was very irritated I made them get a vendor to move so we could back out safely. It is incredibly small and unsafe to back straight out to the street. I had to explain to them the detail a second time as we had to get on with our trip. It clearly was a matter of the customer vs a vendor which we did not quite understand. If you are an American driving on opposite side of road and steering wheel on the right, perhaps they would understand. The food and location is great, parking is definitely a major consideration.

They have heaters in rooms but they need to be marked on/off because the numbers are rubbed off. The room is spacious with lots of light. Overall fancy hotel & bar but were asked to leave dinner and go sit at the bar when we were done which seemed rude. The pool closed at 7:15 pm and then at 5:45 pm on our second night. The beds were comfortable. Amenities included wash clothes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, fan, full-length mirror, large TV, and bottled water. The shower pressure sucked but the water gets hot. Our toilet seat was broken which should have been caught by housekeeping. Overall nice place & we would stay here again.

There's also steam rooms of various temperatures, foot spas and nice showers. On a quiet day you can really lap up the peace and serenity, drink unlimited amounts of tea, coffee and juices and just relax. I had a Swedish back and shoulder massage from the Beauty Salon. It was amazing! They even have a hair salon! You really don't need to leave the hotel over your stay as there are plenty of options to eat. The Botanic restaurant or the Cellar Bar (or room service) have got plenty of choice on their menus. It all comes from the same kitchen anyway. I was so impressed with the buffet breakfast. So much to choose from! Probably the biggest buffet breakfast I have ever seen in a hotel. Fried, scrambled and boiled eggs to choose from! The staff are very helpful and friendly too. I couldn't have asked for more. I really enjoyed my stays here (3 times in 2 years) I recommend it highly and I know I'll go back again.
