I was firstly offered a very noisy room. Then when I asked they gave a room which was better but had slanting ceilings. Property is nice but provided you get a good room. It matters.

I loved the Rothay Garden. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating. Excellent food for breakfast and dinner plus lunch from the bar.
My room was lovely, overlooking the river with a balcony. Comfy bed and really nice linens which is important to me!
All positive, I would highly recommend and I’d love to return.
Thank you!

The property was very nice clean and spacious, The food was that nice we stayed in both evenings to enjoy. The only complaint if any was the jacuzzi style plunge pool broke down on the first evening of our stay therefore it was not available throughout which is one of the main reasons we booked this hotel.
The staff were very helpful throughout the stay.

We had a really lovely stay for 2 nights at Rothay Garden. We booked dinner on the first night which was high quality. The views over the garden from the restaurant were really relaxing.
We booked a luxury room which was really clean and spacious and had a terrace.

A beautiful property with everything you need. The spa was very small but we ended up being the only two people in there from 18:30 till 20:00. The dinner was delicious and breakfast was lovely. The staff were attentive and helpful. A really lovely last minute getaway.

Beautiful quiet property with lovely, friendly staff. The evening meal and breakfast were superb. The room was large, very comfortable and had a lovely patio overlooking the river. The hotel grounds were immaculate and had beautiful views of the hills. It was an easy walk into the town and there were lots of great walks from the door.

Great location and amenities, strange breakfast, peas with poached eggs? We’ve been a few times now and there has been a recent change of hands.
Highly recommended, but please look at the breakfast menu!
