The hotel was pretty good beds were comfy good facilities, however not enough opening hours for children. For the restraint the cocktails were poor, very expensive and not worth the price and for breakfast they had no regular sausages only weird leek sausages, not suitable for children.

Fantastic meal and fantastic staff

Reviewed By M9643XWlindsaym

Tonight we visited the visited the carvery with our 2 daughters aged 6yrs and 4yrs. Immediately upon arrival we were warmly greeted and the girls were too,this family atmosphere continued through out the whole meal,where the 2 chefs Ollie and Ikea went above their duty to help find a suitable section of food for starters and then when the 4yr decides no dinner a alternative option of goujon and chips was offered,which was extremely kind and much appreciated as it saved us a possible meltdown ? ? ? ? This was very kindly served by our lovely waitress Pat who obviously adores children which was apparent as she was excellent with them, and making sure they were okay and had everything they needed and wanted,would definitely take her home to be our nanny?Thank you to Pat,Ollie and Ikea for giving us a relaxed family night.We will definitely be back again

Most Amazing B&B

Reviewed By Mazza M

Me and my hubby stayed here last night for one night only as we were attending a wedding in Galgorm, but we genuinely wished it could have been longer. From the minute we met Helen we were treated like old friends. She really is the most beautiful amazing lovely genuine person. Nothing was too much trouble…she even drove us from her home to the Galgorm, on our arrival. The next morning we had the greatest breakfast, fresh fruit, yogurt, home made wheaten bread and the yummiest of fry’s. I devoured everything in seconds. So if you ever want to stay in a little touch of Heaven stay in Meadowview you will never regret it. Thank you Helen for everything xxx (Big hug to Jennifer and the pups too xx)

Rosspark Hotel

What a fantastic stay

Reviewed By Mrsdeemcd

We attended a wedding on Sunday 22 May and had an amazing day. The hotel has a beautiful garden room for the ceremony and the garden lounge is perfect for the drinks reception after. The main suite was beautifully decorated and the food cooked to perfection, esp the gravy -unreal lol. The hubby and I decided to stay a second night. The Monday we were treated extremely well by the staff throughout the day; we enjoyed a gorgeous lunch and cocktails in the lounge and later dinner was in the restaurant. The food in the Rosspark is exceptional and the service too. We checked out on Tuesday 24 May after more lovely food & service at breakfast and a lovely farewell chat with the receptionist. Highly recommended wedding venue, for a hotel break or for a meal.

What a wonderful experience

Reviewed By norrisfamily91

After much research, I had booked Oranmore as I wanted a special experience to celebrate my aunt’s 80th birthday. And what an experience- I was certainly not disappointed. The location, the staff, the quality of the food and how it was presented - there are simply no superlatives to describe what we enjoyed today. The sandwiches and cream scones were beautiful but we particularly enjoyed the soup and the sausage rolls and as for the sweet section, simply delicious. And as much tea or coffee as you could consume. We also appreciated the fact that all the food did not arrive at the one time - we had time to enjoy the savouries and then the sweet goodies arrived. A special mention of the birthday cake for my aunt! What we couldn’t eat, we were able to take home for another day. We didn’t feel rushed and thoroughly enjoyed our family time together in such wonderful surroundings- a visit around the gardens is also highly recommended. Many thanks for all you did today - you made a huge contribution to the success of our special day.

Lovely B&B

Reviewed By Andrea_C0001

If you want a special stay with a fabulous friendly welcome this is your place. We were greeted with the warmest welcome. Immediately we felt like we’d arrived at a friends home. Our room was lovely, the bed was comfy & the room spotless! If you visit be sure to book the hot tub to enjoy a drink in, even on the coldest of nights this was pretty special. Breakfast was second to none , served by Gail the scrambled eggs were delicious. I cannot recommend this B&B enough & cannot wait for the next visit. Also you like dogs the owners daughter runs a doggy day care and I was lucky enough to meet some of the furry friends. Thank you Gail you can clearly see you love what you do!
