I can't understand how anybody would fault this hotel. It is a 100% five star experience. I was worried to read some revies that rooms were dated but this is untrue. The decor of the rooms is very classic with carpets and medium dark wood furniture, but in pristine condition as this hotel has been reburnished. Not a scuff mark to be seen anywhere. We had a superior room on the 4th floor which was pure luxury. Really large and bright with big windows and patio door to balcony and a gorgeous view. A large bathroom with separate bath and walk in shower and a large storage, dressing room area at the entrance with its own full length mirror. Complimentary chocolates were sent up on arrival, a lovely touch as we were celebrating my birthday. The staff at this hotel are exceptional, especially at reception and in the dining room. They are extremely courteous, professional and nothing is too much trouble. The food is also top class, we had breakfast and dinner. My only quibble would be the decor of the dining room but that's a personal thing. In a five star hotel I would prefer more traditional with elaborate napery and table ware and a smaller dining room, or one more partitioned for a cosier, more intimate feel. Here the decor is very ultra modern. It is huge and open plan with very modern table placements which I would find just a little cold. The restaurant overlooks the beautiful Gap of Dunloe which is breathtaking and we were lucky to get a window table at breakfast. But far from the window or after dark you don't have that experience. But overall this hotel is just fabulous, I'd highly recommend it and go back in a heartbeat. Roll on the next birthday!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception on the grounds of Dunloe Hotel. From our very first informal walk around to checking out after our wedding it was a first class experience. The hotel decor is amazing, the location and views are spectacular and the staff were just a dream to work with. Every guest commented on how lovely all the staff were and how delicious the wedding meal was. I could not fault a thing. There was a change of personnel during the planning process and it did not make any difference. The staff know and have weddings down to a tea. It was an extremely easy, stress free process with the staff having absolutely everything covered. We really had the most amazing day and I could not have wished for anything more. Well done to all staff, it was an extreme pleasure to hold our wedding there!
