Finnstown Country House Hotel

Hotel was lovely and good value for money. Some issues with the electronic keys not working on the second day - but the staff were helpful in this regard notwithstanding the inconvinience. Room was good size, clean and good for the price. Bar food was good and lovely ambiance. Did not eat in the restaurant. Would definitley go again.

The food was a little on the rich side and I felt they were trying too hard.
The presentation was not great either, especially the soup. It tasted great but looked the same as what you would get in any cafe.
We were both full and pretty much happy when leaving the restaurant after dinner, but considering they boast on the website about having "an AA Rosette among its many awards for culinary excellence", we were dissaponted with the effort!
Also the squeky door between the restuaurant and the kitchen nearly drove me crazy!!
The one other comment I would have is in relation to the swimming pool/lesiure area. It looks so out of place in comparisson to the rest of the hotel. The swimming pool looks outdated and un-kept with cheap furniture thrown into the room. Just looking into it turned us off and we retreated back to the main hotel.
Overall, we loved the building. It was so cosy and romantic..we spent most of our time lounging by one of the open fires! The reception area is magnificient!
The room was great and the bed was so comfortable.
I would reccomend this hotel, and would love to go back but it lets itself down in a couple of areas that could be so easily rectified!

enjoyed my stay at finnistown was able to walk through gardens and enjoy surroundings it was an ideal choice for golf at lutterstown

Excellent value for money. Beautiful Room, will definately stay again.

We were extremely impressed with this hotel, especially considering the price. The grounds are extensive and beautiful and whilst it is close to Dublin you feel you could be a million miles away from it all! Our room was a refurbished room in the main part of the building and, in our opinion, was of 4 star quality. There is some extension building work going on but it didn't affect our stay. The food in both The Cellar Bar and the breakfast in the main Resturant was excellent (the buffet breakfast had an excelent choice and the food was both high quality and hot). The Cellar Bar food was not cheap but the portions were very good making it value for money. The service received from all staff was excellent and everyone appeared happy in their woek.
