Clonyard House Hotel

Booked 3 nights but checked out after 1 night. Room was in a very dated annexe with what seemed no insulation. Windows single glazed and covered in mould. Very tatty altogether. 2 out of 4 lights worked and one power point (none anywhere near the bed). Had to sleep in my dressing gown with a very old blanked on top of bed that I had found in the closet. Some friends staying found an old duvet in their wardrobe which they gave me (clean but old blood stains on it). It was so cold that I couldn't sleep. Shower over the bath was more like a dribble and it was difficult to wash my hair. Went to breakfast desperate for hot coffee. Room was cold and was given instant coffee which I would never dream of drinking. Breakfast I chose 2 poached eggs, a tomato and mushrooms, which smelt terrible and all served on a cold plate. My colleagues staying also had mushrooms which they couldn't eat. We made the decision to pack up and leave. Couldn't find owner as we saw him leave the premises but later he appeared in the car park as we were leaving. I raised my concerns but he didn't have much to say and never offered any of us a refund/part refund. Very disappointed and to be avoided.

The staff were very attentive and the breakfast was quite delicious but this hotel needs a really good overhaul. The decor in the bedroom was very tired , we also had no hot water in the morning in the bathroom, so shaving was a no-go. The grounds are somewhat scruffy.

The restaurant is nice but.... don't ask for pork roast. It wasn't roasted. If it was there would have been crackling on it. It was tough, out if a packet maybe. The potatoes were not roasted either and we only had carrots and broccoli. No choice and my husband and I don't like broccoli. No mash and defrosted Yorkshire puddings. My sisters had scampi and beefburgers which looked OK. The prices were too much for so little and we won't be back.
