Hotel Castlepollard

We arrived to see the hotel tastefully decorated for the Christmas Season with warm and inviting twinkling wreaths and Trees. A beautiful reception area with high ceilings with warm modern feel. We were greeted at reception with a smile and the fact we were early was not an issue. We sat and waited less than 10 minutes while accommodation confirmed they had our room ready, the early check in was very welcoming after our journey. We were signposted by the receptionist and the accommodation staff member. We were given all the usual but welcome information and dining options and breakfast. Our room was modern bright and comfortable, quality and unique soft furnishings giving the feel of a modern and not chain like feel. A truly well thought out decor. Bathroom bright and modern with large walk in shower and Quality toiletries. Hand lotion by the Irish handmade soap company was amazing to use. The bed and bedding of the highest quality and comfy. Food in the busy bar was epic, Brie and wings to start, chef’s special and Retro Carbonara for mains with Brownies and Pecan to finish. All the staff & the manager who personally spoke to us and checked on us are very warm and professional. Lovely local feel with that touch of modern class. We will return soon without a doubt. We commented that it’s been some time since we felt such hospitality and encountered food if such quality. Like the old days when hotel food was quality produce and nit widely available. The management and chef are obviously selective with their suppliers and the proof was in our pudding.
