Muckross House in

05/09/2025: I recently stayed at Carton House for two nights and while the property is absolutely stunning with beautiful decor and amazing views, and most of the staff were friendly and helpful, there were several aspects that did not meet the standards I would expect from a five star hotel. The bathroom had very poor water pressure and the pillows and blankets were made of synthetic materials rather than feather which made the pillows particularly uncomfortable. We loved the restaurant where breakfast was served and the a la carte menu was delicious (although the portions were small), but the buffet was a major disappointment because we usually had breakfast around 10am and since it ends at 10.30am the buffet was not replenished, leaving very little food available and on our second day almost nothing at all, which meant leaving breakfast still hungry.

05/09/2025: Absolutely gorgeous place to visit. You book a lunch or dinner here and have a little self tour around. Expensive but luxury experience.
