03/12/2023: I was recently barred for one night for merely touching a light fixture outside as I was talking to someone for 24 hours, which seems ridiculosuly excessive as I was literally touching them as lightly as possible in a passive way as I was talking to someone in the smoking area (This is all on management as when I asked the bouncers about it they were told to bar me for the night due to this) I know this review will hardly effect the rating, but it's the only way I feel I can properly vent my frustration with it's management. Would not reccomend.

17/11/2023: “ An alright “pub/ restaurant with catchy name My husband had Deep fried brie was excellent. Disappointing Pulled pork .. very dry and overly salted he had to order a dip sauce on the side because it was just too dry on it’s own. chicken wings and slow cocked ribs We shared the dessert And apple pie with ice cream My food over all was alright. The apple pie though either the apples were over cooked or bought from the store … not sure they didn’t have a nice fresh bite Love the side salads! Well seasoned! That impressed me. Staff is friendly Atmosphere .. pub like cozy Prices are reasonable ! Would I go again? Not sure . Maybe will try the fish? Will see

24/10/2023: Out with friends. Food delicious. Nice selection of wines. Friday evening, it was a bit quiet.

01/10/2023: Great food. Staff friendly and very helpful. Love the scenery.

27/09/2023: We went for breakfast with our dog in the alley. Plenty of choices, they even have a treats menu for the dogs. Food was good, the service was very pleasant, and our dog was spoilt. I highly recommend it !

06/10/2023: Very nice place to dine out with friends, delicious food and friendly staff

11/09/2023: We went to Monaghan spice when we were staying in Monaghan for a night. It was such a little surprise because we not expecting to have such an amazing meal. It massively outweighed our expectations and the staff went above and beyond. It was exceptional. Oh and just so you know it’s BYOB

26/11/2023: The food is very good, service is brilliant

11/11/2023: Ridiculously high prices for below average food. The chef needs to learn that Beef Stroganoff is not a soup served with rice on the side. I have had better food for half the price in a pub on a Sunday afternoon.

23/10/2023: Lovely meal and dresset and lovely staff

07/08/2023: Got a dinner with friends here few hours ago just after visiting Marble Arch Caves and Stairways to heaven so we were sooo hungry!! Ordered few steak burgers, prawn noodles, vegetarian pasta carbonara and everything was delicious! Very friendly staff!!

29/10/2023: My husband and I had our wedding in the Creighton Hotel and it was first class! All the staff are lovely and so accommodating! Patrick and Edel made sure our day went without a hitch and anything we asked for during the wedding planning was no problem, all our guests were saying how beautiful the hotel is and how delicious the food was, I would highly recommend the Creighton Hotel 😊😊 thank you for making our wedding day so special ❤️❤️

28/10/2023: Very enjoyable stay at the Creighton for the Clones Film Festival. The most welcoming and helpful staff. Customer services at its best in all departments. Eileen was particularly helpful and very engaging. I look forward to a return visit. Most enjoyable stay from start to finish. Great example of value for money with wonderful customer services in Irelands hidden heartland. 5🌟

03/12/2023: I cannot fault this Hotel in any way. The rooms are big and airy, the beds are comfortable and service is efficient. We only had a one night stay, but despite the fact that the Hotel was full to capacity, we enjoyed a peaceful and restful night.

30/11/2023: Terrible Experience - Hillgrove Hotel Inferno I cannot express enough how absolutely horrific my experience was at the Hillgrove hotel when it caught fire. It was a nightmare come true and completely ruined my stay. Firstly, the lack of safety measures in the hotel is absolutely appalling. The fire alarms were either faulty or completely ignored by the staff. The fact that the fire spread so quickly and extensively throughout the building indicates a serious lack of fire safety precautions, and it's unacceptable. Secondly, the staff's reaction was absolutely atrocious. Instead of calmly evacuating and assisting guests, they were panicking and running around like headless chickens. There seemed to be no training or protocols in place for emergencies. It was chaos, and their chaotic response put everyone's lives at risk. Moreover, the hotel's management was extremely unhelpful and indifferent during the whole incident. They showed no empathy or concern for the guests' wellbeing. It felt like they were only worried about the damage to the property rather than the safety of their guests. The lack of timely communication and updates during the event was also deeply distressing. We were left in the dark for hours, unsure if we were safe or what was happening. It was an anxiety-inducing experience that I will never forget. To make matters worse, the aftermath of the fire was a complete disaster. The hotel offered no compensation or alternative accommodation options. We were left stranded, with our belongings gone and no assistance provided. It was a nightmare trying to sort out everything on our own. I understand that accidents can happen, but the Hillgrove hotel's complete lack of preparedness and disregard for guest safety is inexcusable. I would highly advise anyone against staying at this hotel unless they make drastic changes to their safety protocols and train their staff accordingly. This was a horrific experience that could have been prevented with proper planning and care.

08/12/2023: Evening meal in the bar, everything was great, food was lovely and staff were excellent.

03/12/2023: I was on a business trip a few months back and stayed here. From the outside the hotel looks a bit old even from the corridors. But the rooms were quite modernized and clean. I have not checked out the recreational areas that the hotel offers but the Irish breakfast they served were superb and plentiful of fruits / cereal to take. It was a cozy stay overall.
