Reviews of County Arms Birr
e. B.The service here is 5 star plus plus, the staff are unbelievable too.
Super friendly, yet super easy going. I'd have no hesitation recommending this place to stay to friends and families. The food is fantastic too, great quality and great value for money.special thanks to Chris, he was super.
E. B.We had amazing time, room was lovely and very clean, food was great and stuff was very helpful and nice. I'm leaving 4 stars just because in spa warm stone chairs and steam room didn't work. Hopefully that will be repaired till the next time.
A. H.We had our wedding here and it was fabulous. The wedding coordinator, Dee, went above and beyond to help us and make it the most special and memorable day for us. The attention to detail was 5 star. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious. On the day Seamus and all the staff were extremely attentive and helpful. The food was excellent all our guests agreed and highly recommend this venue. The gardens are well maintained and were perfect for photos. There are no faults to this hotel.
J. T.We had such a lovely time at the County Arms Hotel for my friend's birthday. First, we had a lovely gluten-free afternoon tea beside the Christmas tree and we cannot thank enough the lady on duty with blonde hair and black glasses ( sorry I forgot to ask you name!) she brought a cake with candles and just made it so special for my friend and myself as my birthday was days ago. The quality of the food is unreal, very tasty and enjoyable. The reception team was lovely as well, checked in to a double room and we've asked for twin and we moved to a twin room straight away. The room was spacious, quiet, and clean. We've booked the offer with the dinner, we had pork belly with veggies and a lovely gravy, we couldn't have enough! The next morning we had breakfast which was great and the leisure centre was nice just to finish up the stay. Lovely hotel, lovely value and hopefully we will be back soon! Thank you! Jennifer & Tracy
M. O. B.Food was excellent, staff very helpful and friendly, good pool area and all round atmosphere. Would highly recommend. Lots to do locally.
d. p.We stayed here for two nights. Can't fault the place. Staff were lovely, very welcoming. Pool was great. Food in the bar was very tasty , great menu options. Kept really clean. We came here hoping to have a nice break and we got that and more.
C. C.My daughter Rachael and myself (Caroline) loved every minute of our 2 day stay, staff were brilliant in every way and so kind to us.
We will definitely return in the near future.
M. G.I really enjoyed our time at the County Arms. We had our son's Christening dinner here and it was a very relaxed and delicious meal. The kids enjoyed playing in the hotel's majestic walled garden. We stayed the night and had a very comfortable sleep. Breakfast and the pool the next day were also excellent. Gráinne, Shannon and the event staff were very easy and professional to work with.
M. C.We really enjoyed our stay at the fabulous hotel. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. The rooms spotless. Beds were comfortable. We had a twin room with double bed and single bed. The bathroom was enormous and well kitted out with supplies. Would find it hard to fault.
l. c.Great hotel, great value. Staff were friendly. Food was delicious. The signage of the hotel could be better. As when we got there, we parked and there was parking spaces for driving test applicant. No great big sign at the front door of the hotel. This was the only flaw be we found.
S. S.Wow .. we had a family celebration at the hotel today, from start to finish it was just amazing . We were given a private room upstairs with private bar and a beautiful menu.
The staff were on top of their game at every stage and we were really well looked after . 10 out of 10 to the chief the food was full of flavour and presentation was unreal.
Thank you highly recommend we will be back !
M. F.My son and his now beautiful wife had their wedding reception there last Friday 17th September. I could not fault one thing about it. From the moment we arrived until we left the following day they could not have done more us. We were looked after so well at the reception and the food was absolutely beautiful. I would definitely recommend the Count Arms in Birr to anyone. And I will most definitely be going back there again soon.
H. M.Went for food. Food was nice bit pricie. No way to dry hands in bathroom but made reception aware of this.
A. W.Booked 1 night away and I have to say it was a bit disappointing. They are short staffed and the staff are just not trained well. Not a manager in site. Drinks delayed, ignored by staff when we tried to get their attention. Brought to a table that had something spilt on the floor. Was still there when we left despite the fact I let the waitress know. The receptionist didn't know if we had to make a dinner reservation, neither did the restaurant! First you did, then you didn't. The chowder was light soup and nothing like a chowder. No, hand sanitizers on the tables.
On the plus side, rooms were OK and beds were so comfy. The food we had at dinner was lovely.
Get it together. You have a great little hotel if you paid attention to hospitality and customer service. For me, its no where near a 4 star.
M. P.Service in bar was very poor despite there seemed to be a huge amount of staff on plus a manager... waited 45 mins for a cocktail was told staff were being trained on making new drinks... i would presume they should be trained in advance,it was taken off the bill but would have just liked any drink to be honest rather than sit for 45 mins.Breakfast was lovely and breakfast staff were great compared to the evening staff who unfortunatly seemed very untrained
M. M.Beautiful hotel food is amazing we can't wait to come back soon would definitely recommend this place to my friends
J. H.Great food, comfortable rooms and great leisure centre.
Staff were very attentive
M. W.What a find! We decided to extend our stay in the Midlands and stumbled upon the County Arms Hotel, your website doesn't do it justice. From entering the beautiful foyer to leaving this hotel has everything one could want for a break. Food was superb, staff are friendly and helpful. The room was very clean bright and airy. Leisure center is spotless and the gardens are an absolute must see. We will definitely be back. Kevin & Marion McGuire.
j. v.amazing place, very comfortable rooms with huge smart TVs, nice kitchen ( I love they steak), very good leisure. My high recommendation
S. T.We cannot praise the staff enough especially Dee. Our car broke down while staying there and they went above and beyond to help us and extend our stay. The kids especially loved the pool. Would recommend the hotel for both Family and Couple stays This review is well over due. Thanks again the Thompson's
D. D.Lovely overnight, enjoyed use of the leisure center and had a lovely dinner. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
S. M.Absolutely wonderful stay. Initially booked it for two nights but extended the stay for an extra day.
Food is sublime. Everything we got was perfect. Steak, Turkey & ham, prawn starter, duck spring rolls … all cooked perfectly and with great attention paid to presentation and flavour.
The staff are awesome. A young team but they are excellent. Friendly and attentive.
Breakfast was excellent. Due to work commitments I was on the early 7:30 breakfast but even though it was early the staff were ready to help and the food at breakfast was great also …. Tip: try the pancakes (really fluffy and tasty)
Rooms are so so comfy. I had the best sleep all year. Quiet too.
I’m returning again in 5 days … it’s that good.
Really enjoyed my stay and my work hotel in the midlands is secured from here on.
My only issues, having stayed around 23 room nights, is the walls between rooms are quite thin and we have had a few nights where snoring from next door has kept us awake. Also the music played at breakfast need to be either more relaxed or reduced in volume.
In saying that we have had great stays.
P. G.Lovely hotel. Staff are fantastic, very pleasant and helpful. Special mention to Chris and Bernadette.
T. M.5 star accommodation.From checkin to checkout not a single problem. Shannon was a tonic when taking booking over phone a really pleasant young lady.
All staff were excellent from reception to bar to breakfast where Regina was the captain of that ship and never stopped going and nothing was to much to ask for a real professional in customer satisfaction.
Breakfast and dinner excellent and reasonably priced bar food and drinks.
Thank you all for a wonderful stay
D. M.Lovely hotel all was good until dinner. Mine was okay my partner dinner was cold. Turkey and ham came out like it had been left out. A 4star hotel shouldn't have to take a main meal back to microwave it. Poor service
S. M.Steak was lovely unfortunately the fish was a little dry. No background music to give a festive feel to the restaurant but other than that the service was good.
D. R.Could not fault anything about this hotel..I read some comments saying it was dated...far from it..The staff from the moment we entered where just lovely and very helpful..The food was the best..Breakfast was plentiful..WE BE BACK for sure
A. O. L.We had a lovely time on a family holiday, the facilities were amazing and staff were wonderful. I would however review your policy now to have house keeping attend the rooms for those staying more than one night. We were booked for 3 nights with 2 children under 5. We had 2 rooms and a cot provided, however the rooms weren't cleaned, bins not emptied, bathroom towels or toiletries not replenished nor was the tea and coffee. With small children and nappies and stickey had and food etc the rooms required a top and tailing. We had to request this each day and although done immediately, the girl was not too pleased about doing it. Everything else was above and beyond but definitely recommend it to everyone and I ll be back asap
J. D.Lovely hotel, great food. Only gripe staff need to clear the tables instead of letting them pile up. Leasure centre great. Will be back.
A. M.It's a lovely hotel I was there after a funeral was greeted with a lovely hot
cup of tea , for starters the soup was delicious and the finger food was delicious. The staff was very attentive would recommend.
J. P. H.Good quality food and service, portions on the small side, enjoyed it though!
P. M.Great very friendly Staff. Very clean place. Amazing food. We are back there soon...
J. D.This was my first time coming to County Arms hotel, and it certainly won't be my last visit. The food was excellent, and the service was equally as good. The staff were very friendly. The leisure facilities were more then satisfactory. The only complaint I would have is that the kids mattresses weren't as comfortable as they could be.
E. O.Fab hotel .very clean the staff are amazing so friendly .we will visit there afain
B. K.Very lovely place. We stayed with my husband for an event that was happening in town. The food is good and the staff is very helpful. Great massage!
r. l.We had our wedding day at the county arms 23/9/21 the hotel staff went above and beyond to make it very special our wedding co ordinator Dee is an absolute gem she is so helpful and has a heart of gold the food is top class and just tastes amazing we had a really great wedding package deal and I would highly recommend choosing the county arms the grounds were gorgeous for pictures and we got a ''summers day" right in the end of September
L. K.We had a lovely 2night stay staff were lovely helpful and friendly food was delicious would highly recommend it for a break
K. S.Great food. Lovely staff. It's walking distance from the town centre. Food is served in the bar, so it's fairly casual.
E. D.The hotel always go above and beyond to make your stay a good one. We have stayed many times and cannot wait to stay again before Christmas
M. R.Friendly helpful staff. Clean modern rooms. Excellent food
A. M.Can't praise staff enough nothing to much trouble. Had 3 night stay in County Arms in birr myself and other half
Hotel was spotless very comfy beds great night sleep. Great food very good selection on dinner menu
Thanks you all for a wonderful stay
Will definitely be back

L. G.A mixed bag, great food and service in the bar. Chaotic breakfast service, running around like headless chickens. Needs a strong manager!
s. E.Good food, the settings is lovely, staff friendly and nothing too much trouble, welcome children.
F. C.Superb food in a pleasant atmosphere. We were attending a wedding this time the only downside was on arrival guests were offered Finger Food and Tea - Coffee which was freezing cold. We were the first group to get to the Hotel and explaining to the staff that the Tea & Coffee was Cold they looked at one another not knowing what to say or do. Other than this the staff were excellent and extremely polite and helpful. The Hotel was spotlessly clean everywhere, the toilets were well maintained and had plenty of hot water and sanitizer.
a. t.Great hotel, staff and food. Would highly recommend this hotel.
J. K.We had a great stay there, the food was excellent
J. D.Staff and rooms excellently presented , food is A1 in the bar , nice atmosphere and very covid compliant
P. K.Good enough food, service was not the best, bar was very cold.
L. D.Good venue staff friendly and helpful but very slow service, maybe not enough staff working
L. M.The staff in this hotel make the stay amazing....helptul, friendly and efficient. From wben I rang late on a Friday night giving me a fantastic rate to the lovely waitress on Sunday morning getting me the papers to read at breakfast. Fantastic Service😁Highly recommend this hotel

B. F.We just Celebrated our Daughters Wedding on Monday 28th September 2020 at the Hotel
Well what can I say! from start to finish the staff were amazing they just made us feel we were among friends.
The Food was outstanding the Quality and Quantity was second to none.
Our Wedding Experience was great from our first consultation with Michelle & Connor right through to the Day and beyond was so easy.
The atmosphere / Ambience was just perfect.
We would recommend this venue to anyone and will definitely be back even if it is just to enjoy the food again.
P. C.Lovely Hotel
Excellent Staff
Great Facilities
E. D.Great venue for a wedding, fabolous day and brilliant staff
g.The food was amazing along with the service. The room was very well cleaned too. The mattress' on the bunk bed weren't very comfortable because you could feel the springs from the mattress. The ventilation/air conditioning was very loud and was on all night. Overall I enjoyed my stay
M. C.Food not up to standard. Beer battered fish tough.Service needs to improve. I'm trying to make allowances for covid. Staff very pleasant. Needs guidance.
C. D.Myself & my partner attended the County Arms this evening as we are considering it as a wedding venue. Barry, Conor and all the staff were so courteous and kind and gave us so much of their time showing us around and even allowing us to sample some food too. We were very impressed and regardless of whether we choose it as our venue we will be back. Thanks again.
S. G.We had a great experience at the County Arms. It was very charming and comfortable with great amenities. We got there early after traveling all night and they were able to get us into a room they had available. They gave good advice with the sights in the town and where to eat. We had a great conversation with the owners and even got to see the Earl of Birr castle. Make sure to get down to the leisure center and have a chat with Dillon who takes care of the pool and workout center. All around fantastic. Enjoy your stay!
K. L.It's a very nice 4 star hotel in Birr. The bar is a popular drinking spot. The food portions are generous and you can easily share the plate with someone. We had a lovely tea in the lobby. The service was excellent! The decor is very posh too. Whether it was the waitstaff, front desk or someone else, they were friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the walls are thin and the shower not the best. They do have a lovely tub for soaking baths. Beds were comfy. They have conference rooms too. Also, they host parties in the Holidays too. We both enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back.
D. Y.Drinks are very expensive. Lovely place and delicious food otherwise.
A. M.We had dinner today at the County Arms. We ate outside. The service was poor- table not cleaned when we sat down, waitress didn't offer drinks, food was bland and mostly lukewarm or cold. We asked for gravy on the side but it was poured all over the very dry beef. However, a big improvement with the menu clearly labled with gf options and other allergens.
H. W.Stayed for one night. Decor was nice and the receptionist was really nice and very friendly. Bed was not comfortable. Massive cobwebs on the bathroom door. And breckfast was oily. The whole room was empty when we went in and another 8 people came in after us and were all put seated on top of us. Then we were ignored and couldn't get anyones attention.
J. B.The hotel is beautifully decorated for Christmas. Even the walled garden has not escaped the decorators magic. I always enjoy my stay at this hotel. The rooms are spacious and spotlessly clean. The food is excellent. The staff are curtious and friendly.
O. G.Lovely hotel, friendly staff!
M. L.Very friendly helpful staff. Great value.
E. C.Stayed for three nights with the family, the staff were very friendly and helpful, they were also fantastic with the kids. We were there in a tough time for the Hotel as they were just hearing about another lockdown but none of that impacted the service.
Some of the best food I've had in a long time in a hotel, both from the bar and the restaurant, not your usual captive audience food that you can end up with in a hotel, there was a lot of effort put into anything that came out of the kitchen.
As for the location Birr Castle is a great place to spend a day and Lough Boora is just down the road and highly recommended.
E. A.Friendly staff and clean room. Would've given a four star if cooling system was provided in the rooms (especially for hot season such as the present one) and if there were no noise disturbance from other rooms and from people walking through the hallway leading to rooms.
C. L.Amazing hotel with such wonderful staff
D. M.Very pleasant staff
Good service
Very good food
N. R.Very efficient and friendly staff. Fabulous food. Grounds are amazing
M. L.Stayed for dinner and b&b. Dinner was lovely in the bar and good atmosphere. Leisure club could do with refurbishment but still enjoyed it.
Breakfast next morning was disappointing. Sausages tasted like they were gone off, coffee wasn't hot enough. Overall it was fairly ok
C. E.Lovely boutique hotel, the staff at reception were the highlight, always willing to help and were great craic. The Spa and pool facilities were clean and good quality. I felt the only let down was the afternoon tea, we had booked for 12, but it was only set up at 12.20, and we had to rush as we had a booking at 1, the eclairs were frozen, felt it wasn't worth the money for frozen not fresh dessert.
G. L.Stay 1 night suite room wonderful experience ,food great staff very friendly lovely gardens
J.Nice lunch but service was slow
I. G.Nice hotel, room's large, clean and comfortable. Big let down at breakfast. No cooked food out when doors were opened, though it was brought out a tray or two at a time by one girl. My group started loading side plates with the cooked food as no dinner plates were available until 10 minutes after opening. Not good, and did spoil things a bit
L. M.Very nice and quiet hotel. Clean and helpfull staff. Good for organising meetings, courses etc. Aaa, and they prepare fantastic latte coffee <3
V. H.Attended a wedding here on 9/11/18. Fantastic service by the hotel. Bar food on the night before the wedding was lovely. Room was clean and well equipped. Little problem with tv remote was sorted in record time much to the delight of our little girl. The attention to detail shown by management and staff at to ensure the wedding went very well was amazing. I could go on and on but it is enough to say that the hotel did a great job .
S. D.Lovely hotel, friendly staff, tasty food for breakfast and in the bar. Lovely walled garden also.
M. R.3 star hotel, good food, paper thin walls, uncomfy bed. Friendly staff :-)
G. M. C.Spotless clean food top class has all u want only old televisions with only a few stations
j. O.Brilliant procedures in place dealing with covid 19. Our group felt very safe and cared for. Lunch and service excellent. Lovely garden to walk around. Will go there again. Thank you.
P. C.A very pleasant country hotel, relaxed atmosphere great service, good food ( both Irish and more) and comfortable rooms. TV was a bit sketchy but that not a big issue. Stayed here several times and the ladies on reception are really helpful.
b. b.Nice hotel, pity about the No Food after 21:30, we arrived at 22:00 to be told not even crisps or peanuts available. No room service. Nit very good we had to order a pizza to be delivered. Bad manager
S. J.Excellent bar food- Best burgers outside of Captain Americas
J. M.A really comfortable hotel and the food is excellent. Could do with updating their television sets in the bedrooms and revamping the showers and shower curtains in the en suites. On the whole there's not much to complain about. The rooms were spacious and there was a good daily housekeeping service. The staff were lovely particularly in the dining room. Nothing was too much trouble and with me being a fussy eater they were very accommodating. I would go there again.
D. M.Love our stay here !!
C. C.Very friendly staff great place to stay, a shame the residents bar closed before half 11.. was very disappointed as we left the pub in town at 23:00 to drink there and it was closed. Other than that lovely place to stay and great staff! Would defiantly go again but just stay in town until ready to go to bed!
W. N.Attended a wedding here. Very impressed. Meal was magnificent. Staff very friendly good service. Hotel looks great open fire etc. Didn't stay over so can't comment on rooms.
T. C.Fantastic meal in lovely surroundings.
G. B.Brought a football team to stay. The hotel could my be more helpful. Great choice on menu and foid was fabulous. Staff wree excellent . Rooms very clean and spacious .
Would highly recommend this hotel
R. C.Really very comfy in lobby area for the tea but enjoy a pint there now and then too. The bar doesn't seem to sell snacky crispy or chock treats. Barman trying to be helpful provided me with popcorn found somewhere. We were grateful as nibbles were setting in
K. H.Didn't go into the hotel it was being used for car test's
S. O.Hotel needs updating.
Pros.
Location is very good
Rooms are generously sized
Staff were very friendly.
Plenty of onsite parking
Pool was quiet
Cons.
Rooms were too hot, no way to regulate temp
Walls too thin. Could hear everything in rooms either side
Food was generally of poor quality
Hotel and lesiure facilities need updating to be considered 4 star
Mainly geared towards the wedding crowd. Not small child friendly.
S. S.lovely spacious hotel. had lunch in bar at 12.30. friendly staff,lots of choice on menu. Food was lovely, I had pea & butternut squash risotto. Toilets exceptional with vanity area & hairdryers.
J. B.Family dinner, large party for Sunday lunch.
The food was absolutely delicious..!!! Pipping hot dishes, loads of vegetables served as sides. All cooked to perfection. The waiting staff were a pleasure to deal with, very professional and lovely. Cosy and relaxed restaurant. Couldn’t recommend it enough.
J. C.Food was amazing. Pool for kids stays open until 8pm or an hour before closing on bank holidays etc. Child friendly with family rooms and best kids menu I've seen. Fairies in the safe rear garden. What more could you ask for...
Y. O.Had a lovely time, staff were lovely, and service was good, despite all the problems we all have faced over the past 14 months.
V. L.Fabulous Hotel, Friendly, engaging staff. Always willing to go above and beyond to make your stay as interesting, comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Excellent and delicious food. Gardens are beautiful. Knowledgeable staff.
J. F.Very good hotel, comfortable bed. Delicious Meals at Restaurant .
J. W.My mam booked into The County Arms for several weeks to be close to my dad who was in rehabilitation in Birr. The staff were so kind and considerate to my mam and made her stay very welcoming. We would highly recommend this hotel for their fantastic food, service and above all friendly/caring staff. On behalf of my mam I wish to thank you so much for looking after her. x
C. K.The hotel is very nice asthetically. Some of the reviews saying it needs renovating are little OTT. Maybe some rooms are getting a bit dated now. Food is very nice (chowder) and some dishes are average. Nice dark rooms and comfy beds. Would recommend.
D. M.Nice staff. Hotel needs an injection of paint and someone to walk around ensuring litter etc is picked up. It is the little things and a slipper lying on a stair for over 48 hours signalled to me that staff arent overly keen to impress.
j. c.What a great hotel! I really enjoyed the week I spent at the County Arms while in Birr on an equestrian vacation. The staff was very professional and kind. They were so nice and accommodating! Most impressive was the food, it was delicious! I have a dietary restriction and alerted the hotel early to see if they would accommodate and they were glad to. The chef made amazing things for me and I was so grateful. The room was fine. They only thing I wished for was a stronger wifi connection but it wasn't the end of the world after I got used to not having it.
J. T.Room was spacious and it had a big comfortable bed. There were a few issues with the bathroom facilities and the remote control but my stay was enjoyable overall.
T. v.Lovely hotel, lovely family room (3 kids which is hard to find), lovely breakfast, lovely location and really lovely staff, what more could you ask for on a family break!
M. K.Staff excellent. Treated really well. Wide menu of tasty dishes. Comfortable and welcoming.
P. B.Wonderful location, fabulous service. Even had breakfast delivered to our room in advance of restaurant being opened as we were leaving early to catch a flight. Generous dinner portions served in restaurant.
K. J.Such a beautiful hotel and scenery. Very helpful and friendly staff. Loved staying there.
A. M.When we visited for a christening there also was a wedding reception in progress. Food was excellent and the waiting staff were very friendly and nice, if badly trained. The manager on the day however was very rude
T. E.Tommy was amazing! It was only his third day on the job, and he provided amazing customer service by bringing us drinks in the beautiful gardens and telling us jokes, and in addition, offered to make us reservations for golf the next day.
B. M.Very well kept lovely food welcome staff
m. c.Absolutely outstanding hotel 100% service very friendly staff especially with our son .the food in the bar is gorgeous and again the staff here can't do enough for you especially Antonio from the first day we met him he was so friendly with a great sense of humour we were truly disappointed to be going home .the swimming pool was well kept and very clean can't wait to go back
J. H.We can honestly say that we have never stayed in a hotel that pays so much attention to customer service. We arrived on 24 Jan this year with our children for 2 nights to celebrate their 9th birthday. We were greeted at reception by a very friendly and professional girl and then by the Owner Willie, who was very welcoming to us and our children. Our room was beautiful . Lots of space for 4 , tasteful décor and very very clean. We ate at the bar on our first night and again were treated to the fabulous hospitality of the bar staff and Willie himself. We swam in the pool twice on Saturday. It too was really clean and very well equipped. We went out visiting the area on Sat afternoon - Birr Castle and Gardens is well worth a visit. Saturday evening we ate in the restaurant . The food was very nice. Later that evening our children received a beautiful selection of chocolates each for their birthday. We will definitely be visiting again and have spread the word to our friends and family. Its wonderful to see that customer service is alive and well in the County Arms Hotel, not something that you can depend on everywhere you go, but it really makes the difference. We felt valued. Thank you to everyone in the County Arms hotel for making our stay so wonderful especially when you also had a debs ball on Friday night and a Wedding on Saturday - you were never 'too bust' to give us the best service and smile. !
M. K.It was a lovely atmosphere, staff making you feel welcome and couldn't do enough to make your visit memberable and leaving wanting to return. And last but not forgotten, the food was to die for. Also good company was a bonus
P. R.Lovely cosy hotel, staff were outstanding and were very friendly. Really enjoyed our stay
R. S.Amazing staff, good location. There's a jumbo Tesco across the street; Subway, Supermacs and Papa John's next door; Town centre is 5-10 minute walk. Rooms spacious, though no refrigerator. Shower is a bit too hot, bathtub drain hard to unplug.
C. N.Very friendly staff and comfortable rooms. The ambience for Christmas time was just beautiful and they even had a turkey dinner during Thanksgiving time so us Americans were able to celebrate Thanksgiving abroad!
S. O. L.Great hotel to stay in to visit the lovely Birr town. Consistently good carvery lunch. The hotel is a busy midlands wedding venue with a variety of fantastic locations within minutes of the hotel for wedding photos.

l. m.Really nice place to stay for a few days 👌
M. G.Myself and my sister and niece had a beautiful meal yesterday in the bar,couldnt fault anything and staff were so helpful and friendly👏
T. C.Long established family business in the outskirts of the town. Since modernisation it has been a major business asset to Birr through good times and bad. Serve food, cater for weddings, conferences, etc. Businesslike atmosphere.
