Again Carton has disappointed. Do management ever take on board the bad reviews on this forum?? They just respond with generic blah blah responses. Nothing ever improves. Do the international managers of Fairmont resorts not keep an eye to what's going on in this hotel?

Had the most gorgeous overnighter with my sister. We really felt in the lap of luxury. Our room was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Had the best sleep ever as it was lovely and quiet even though the hotel was quite full. Staff were very pleasant and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We ate in the Carriage House restaurant which was buzzy and relaxed. The food was very tasty and there was a good wine selection. After our meal we sank into one of the comfy sofas in the lounge and enjoyed an after dinner drink. Although we did not use the spa facilities this time, we went on two long walks around the estate which we loved.

We had a wonderful stay at Carton House. A very special thank you to Brian, the Head Concierge who conducted a tour of the hotel for us. He was very professional, welcoming, and shared a lot of interesting information, which made the experience even more memorable. Check in process was smooth and efficient, and all the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Room was clean and comfortable, and the restaurant served very good food. The premises are absolutely breathtaking, perfect for a walk while enjoying the stunning views. Overall, it was a lovely stay and we would love to return again.

Our visit to Carton House was, as usual an amazing experience. From the minute we walked in the doors the reception was friendly and very helpful. Ann met us, arranged our check in and ensured our short break started in a very relaxed manner. Dinner in the Morrison was just a culinary experience that is only matched in very few locations we have previously visited. Staff, quality of food and the friendly service was top notch. Beautiful decor throughout just ensured we relaxed and chilled. Overall a quality experience and Carton House remains one of our go to places for a relaxing few days with superb food experiences and fabulous staff.
