Ashbrook Arms
Durrow
11/04/2026: I truly cannot say enough incredible things about our stays at the Ashbrook Arms. From the moment you arrive, it feels less like checking into a hotel and more like coming home to a place that wraps you in warmth, charm, and genuine hospitality.
Each visit somehow manages to exceed the last; something that feels almost impossible, yet they do it effortlessly. The accommodations are beautifully kept, cozy, and inviting, striking that perfect balance between comfort and elegance. It’s the kind of place you find yourself already missing before you’ve even left.
The food is nothing short of exceptional; thoughtfully prepared, delicious, and clearly made with care. And breakfast… absolutely magical. Served in the most quaint sunroom, you’re treated to peaceful views of the lush grounds with the gentle river flowing by. It’s the kind of setting that makes you want to linger just a little longer, soaking in every moment.
What truly sets Ashbrook apart, though, is the feeling. You are not just a guest, you are genuinely cared for. They go above and beyond to make you feel so very welcomed, remembered, and appreciated in a way that is rare and so deeply special.
Without question, this has become our “home” whenever we visit Durrow, and we wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else. A truly unforgettable experience every single time.
10/04/2026: Excellent service. Extremely friendly staff. Owner is lovely. Rooms clean and spacious. Breakfast was very good.

Kavanaghs Bar & Venue
Portlaoise
22/03/2026: Nearly €7 for a pint of absolute muck. Myself and two friends all said the same, as for the staff chatting in the corner to each other waiting ages for a pint in an almost empty pub,then when they do decide to serve you the pint is pulled straight!, we all left half a pint or more behind us, Pj is in the game a long time now he should really have a training day for staff every now and then,
27/12/2025: Great venue.
Staff are very friendly as were the patrons and good atmosphere all around.

Charter Bar
Portlaoise
02/03/2026: Pros:
Food was lovely
Facilities were good.
Staff were polite
Cons:
Waiting time was unacceptable for everything
1) we had to personally find a manager to get seated for our reservation
2) menus toon more then half an hour to arrive
3) food took about an hour after that
4) staff made no attempt to keep an eye on drinks or ask if we wanted more. Meaning we had to go to the bar. Which was extrememly busy
20/02/2026: Hi so just checked in and headed to the bar for some food and drink 10 in our group. Have to say I never felt so welcome by the bar man. Litrilly watched him serving 3-4 people at a time effortlessly. Think he said his name was Austin. Also want to mention Natasha who was so lovely. They should be treasured. A great asset to the hotel.

Papa John's
29/11/2025: Had an absolutely lovely gluten free chicken nugget meal! Food was all presented in seperate safe packaging and the bag it was in had a gluten free sticker which is great for preventing confusion! Good gluten free option, very impressed and satisfied with it. Chips were also very fresh and nice.
23/10/2025: Third time I've been to the drive thru and ended up with the wrong order..... Called the waiter to confirm what what is the bag and he just walked away....staffing should be looked at along with training....disappointed won't be returning
