Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate

I had breakfast and lunch at Palmers and our servers were excellent Alex, Monica and Ina were exceptional and made our meals delightful, timely and accurate in all that they did. The food was excellent kudos to the Chef and please don’t change! This is my first time at your Hotel and my son’s second time!! As soon as we can we will be back to visit. All ten of us had a wonderful time. My Daughter and I had massages in the spa and they were excellent. Thank you again for the wonderful service!! Carlo Fiorella Sr.

Our family stayed in four lodges on the property and while they were modern and well appointed, they were not cleaned very well. Also there were problems with ants in one unit and radiators that leaked water the entire week we were there. It took personal extra efforts to get the staff to respond to the water on the floor. In contrast, the service at the hotel restaurants and the golf met our expectations.

Beautiful grounds and an outstanding bar team, restaurants need work We stayed at Glenlo Abbey and the grounds were absolutely incredible — easily one of the highlights of our trip to Galway. Our experience at Palmers Restaurant was mixed. We had lunch there twice, and both times it took a very long time to get our food — service was slow and inattentive. We mentioned this to the manager on duty at the time. To their credit, by our last day the service had noticeably improved, so it seems the feedback was taken on board. We also tried the Pullman Restaurant, and honestly, it wasn't worth it for the price. Given the cost, we expected a lot more. The real standout of our stay was the Abbey Bar. The service there was on a completely different level — attentive, warm, and genuinely outstanding. Dominique and Emma, along with the rest of the Abbey Bar staff, went above and beyond and made us feel truly looked after. If the rest of the property matched their level of service, this would be a five-star stay without question. Would recommend visiting for the grounds and the Abbey Bar — just manage your expectations for the restaurants, and don't hesitate to speak up if service is slow, as it does seem to get addressed.

Giorgio was fantastic host during our lively meal chowder was incredible Ruian the gentleman at reception showed us to the Chrisy senior golf clubs

Everything about our stay was fantastic. Gorgeous ground, spacious and cozy rooms. And special shoutout to Christian the bartender at the beautiful cocktail bar who made me the best smoked old fashioned I ever had in my life. Gave me a show while preparing, educating us on the history of the local whiskey being used, and it was DELICIOUS. Highly recommend a stay.
