Carton House, A Fairmont Managed Hotel

This hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The decor the cleanliness the luxury the staff the grounds, this is what you call a real 5 star hotel. It is comfortable and classy and it is one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in. I brought my boyfriend here for our anniversary and it was perfect. It is so romantic and you really do feel special staying here. If you have been thinking about coming here, definitely add it to the list, you won’t be disappointed.

Swimming pool was absolutely filthy and is a disgrace. The changing rooms weren't much better with heads missing off taps and showers constantly leaking leaving black stains down the tiles. The leisure centre is a million miles from 5 star barely 2 star at best.

Our second stay at Carton house, this time with our two year old. Could not fault the hotel or staff throughout our entire stay. A relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere even with a toddler to keep us busy. Lots of games and activities over easter and we all enjoyed the egg hunt. Very friendly staff and all great with kids.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Carton House. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. The highlight for us was the Sunday lunch at the Morrison Room—hands down the best dining experience I’ve had in years. The room itself is stunning, full of character and elegance, and the staff were so attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. Every detail felt considered and special. The grounds are breathtaking, with so much to explore. We loved the red route walk so much that we got up early just to do it again before breakfast—it was the perfect way to start the day. Carton House is a rare mix of luxury, warmth, and nature, and we couldn’t recommend it more.

After a work conference I decided to spend a few days a Carton House to relax before long trip back to California. Luxury at its finest and the staff was very attentive. My Irish friend joined me and we enjoyed and wonderful dinner at the Carriage House restaurant and the meal was fabulous steak grilled to perfection. The next day we had the iconic tea in the drawing room. With magnificent views of the garden. The fare was traditional sandwiches that were very tasty. Then the desserts were absolutely exquisite. They are inspired by iconic guests that have dined there. From Grace Kelly to Mick Jagger. Also, had the pleasure of dining at The Morrison Room after just obtaining the first Michelin Star. Fantastic fare and an amazing star made this experience most memorable. The seasonal fare was right on point with a refreshing springtime dishes. The dish that stands out the most was the crab with cumber and green apples. Fit for a king! Then for the most remarkable part of my stay was the architectural tour by Brain the Les Clefs d'Or concierge. His story telling and character made the tour charming and informative. I will be back and cannot wait to visit again!
