An excellent experience from the moment we arrived! Beautiful property, gorgeous room - this was, hands down, the best stay we had throughout our travels in Ireland. The staff were efficient and continuously helpful, and the icing on the cake was the unexpected room upgrade. Five stars all around.
Service was excellent and the location with the golf course and the lake beyond was wonderful. Breakfast was also the best all holiday. Staff were all brilliant. Enough said!
Hotel is beautiful and staff are great. The Pullman was the highlight of our trip. The food is outstanding and the service even more so. Ian made our dining experience so memorable, he was personable, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The staff in the hotel itself were also lovely and very friendly. Excellent experience.
We loved The Abbey. The staff and rooms were wonderful.

Lovely hotel!
Lovely hotel..beautiful grounds and accommodations. Staff was very friendly and helpful…if you like old fashioned elegance and a beautiful golf course as well…this is your place.
The doormen, especially Michael, were very helpful and insightful, as were the front desk staff. The grounds and the Abbey were beautiful. We will definitely stay here again, next trip to Galway.
The staff is very attentive and helpful. The bartender was amazing. We just needed 2 more of him as the lounge was under staffed. Beautiful location just 2 miles from downtown. I wish it had a pool and had upgraded walk in showers. The breakfast was amazing. Also Pullman Restaurant is a flash back to days gone by. Dont miss it....it is remarkable.
The hotel itself is beautiful in an amazing setting. Our room was very comfortable with a great bathroom. Our porter (Michael I think) that greeted us when we arrived, was very friendly and helpful. He met us when we checked out as well and helped us plan our day.
Very clean, excellent service and breakfast. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable- they have great recommendations for off site excursions.
The pillows on the bed were very flat and was my only complaint.
From the moment we arrived until we checked out the staff were top notch. The evening movie was a nice touch. The falconry experience with Jason a highlight.
A stunning property with exceptional dining and a wonderful staff. I’ve stayed here twice and love it. It’s close enough to town but in a quieter more serene area.
Beautiful property, wonderful staff- we especially liked Michael, the man who greeted us upon arrival- he is a gem! Rooms were fabulous and beds were comfortable. Beautifully decorated hotel. Loved our stay here!
