I had a great meal in the bar this week. The staff were on the ball and so helpful throughout. As it happens, I found myself in a misfortune later that day on the beach and Farragh and the crew at reception went out of their way to help me manage what was a very stressful situation. They saved the day, no doubt and I am so grateful to them. It is clear here that customer service is paramount and I have to say that Farragh and her team, set the standard. If this is how they treat people who are not even staying in the hotel, then their guests must be very well looked after indeed!

It was fine but we expected better.
We heard a lot of good things about the Garryvoe and were very excited to go for our mini-moon.
Check in was a breeze, the room was lovely and spacious however there had clearly been a leak in the room above as there was a lot of water damage on the ceiling. There was also no way of turning off the radiator in the bathroom which meant the room was sweltering, we had to have the balcony doors open all day and the fan on all night.
The location is very picturesque although there is not a lot to do in the area other than a pleasant enough beach walk and the wellness area (pool, sauna & Jacuzzi) which were quite nice.
We had dinner at the hotel the first night, it was nice, however it was quite expensive for what it was.
We had been told we had complimentary breakfast at check in, which I didn't remember booking, so in the morning I checked with reception again, and was told we had complimentary breakfast with the room. After breakfast I went back to reception to pay for the meal the night before and low and behold we had been charged for breakfast and after asking for a 3rd time were finally told breakfast was not included. This was very frustrating after having double checked before we ate and much like dinner, the cooked breakfast was very expensive for what it was. We ended up getting a far superior breakfast for nearly half the price, just down the road at the Kilkenny Design Centre.
Finally, the little things, there was no wifi code on the online welcome pack, we phoned reception and were quite sarcastically asked if we have checked the welcome pack as it is on there. After double checki, it was not.
The welcome pack also stated the pool hats were €2.50 and when we got there they were €3.
And finally on our 3rd day the hotel wifi went down and was not fixed by the time we left.
All of these things alone are not a big deal, but they all added up and we just expected a little better from a 4* hotel with such a good name.

We were only here to eat. Very nice staff. Very good food and a nice view. There is more than enough parking space in the front area.

This hotel is in a nice location the room was a little dated for our liking but nice all the same as the beds are good quality.
The pool is good especially when their's adult only times also there is a dryer for your swimming gear.
The steam room lacks a little steam but it's comfortable to sit in.
We like the idea of the hot tub outside its nice when it's raining and the staff at the leasure center are very nice and engaging.
The library was our favourite place it's very relaxing and comfortable with a nice vibe to it
Overall a hotel we would recommend

Our second visit to Garryvoe and we were not disappointed. This is a nice place operated by nice people, good solid service without pretensions to anything other than providing just a good stay for guests. Food is very good, good quality breakfast much better than most hotels we have used recently.

We stayed at Garyvoe last week for two nights. From arriving to leaving we were so well looked after. Garyvoe is in a beautiful location being so close to the sea There is a very safe walk way by the sea if you do not wish to go on the beach
Meals at Garyvoe are fabulous with plenty to choose from
Garyvoe is a great hotel in a beautiful location and well worth another visit.
