Corick House Hotel & Spa

Pros Comfortable beds, Damien and another restaurant server (didn’t get his name) were lovely, nice food at breakfast. Cons Room was filthy when we arrived, it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned (see attached photos). We spoke to a manager and they offered us another room in an older part of the hotel as they were fully booked. This room was dusty and had stains on the bed and flies began to appear in the bathroom. No towels were provided in the bathroom and no robes or slippers. The biscuits provided were out of date. There was a noise all night that sounded like a boiler turning off and on, so we got no sleep. We then moved back to the original room the next day, after it had been cleaned. As we entered the room we got the fright of our lives when a member of staff was standing right in front of us. Reception called to check on the room, I said we would stay the night but it still wasn’t clean. The kettle was dirty, the grout in the shower was still stained yellow, stain still on the light switch. Flies also began to appear in this bathroom also! No safe or mini fridge in any rooms other than the suites. We ordered lunch to the room and there was hair on both of the dishes. Understaffed in every department, spa, bar, restaurant, reception. Hotel very run down, windowsills broken in hallways. Wallpaper ripped off walls. Lift very dirty. The spa was small. Staff stressed out, couldn’t get a hold of anyone for queries. No coffee pods or teaspoons in spa relaxation room, I had to walk around looking for someone. Steam room door gets stuck so be careful! Initially we were only offered 20% off the bill which we did not believe was good enough considering the horrible experience we had. We were then offered 50% off but safe to say we won’t be back. I wanted to love this hotel but sadly it cannot meet basic standards for a two star never mind 4.

Myself and my sister had a fabulous experience on Saturday. We had the spa package (use of serenity suite/thermal suite & brunch included.) The service from start to finish was absolutely top class in both the spa and Carleton restaurant!! The staff were very attentive and I cannot wait to go back. Highly recommend 😀

I stayed here for one night on a dinner bed and breakfast package and from the moment we arrived I can honestly say everything was absolutely wonderful. We have a very welcoming and friendly check in from the Receptionist and where given the keys to our room which was a twin room I shared with my niece. The room was lovely and clean and much to our satisfaction and we had a lovely countryside view. I cannot relate to the bad reviews at all which could easily put people off but I am glad we were not as this hotel really is a hidden little gem. I loved how hot the bath water was and enjoyed all the room amenities during our stay. We had a beautiful dinner the food was fab my niece had the fillet steak which she loved and I had the curry which was delicious. The sticky toffee pudding and the ice-cream sorbets we can highly recommend. My niece had a mocktail to finish off our dinner which she thoroughly enjoyed. We slept like babies and had a wonderful breakfast of fruit, yogurt, juices, croissants and also a full hot Irish self serve breakfast. We had a quick Americano and a walk of the grounds after checkout and were on our way. All the staff from check to dinner to breakfast were so friendly and helpful. A very relaxing and enjoyable stay worth every penny and we will definitely be back in the not too distant future.
