Mount Wolseley Hotel Spa & Golf Resort

On paper Mount Wolseley has all the trappings of a luxury resort, but it's just underwhelming, a bit jaded and too busy to care (the cut n paste responses to every online review are indicative of the management attitude to customer satisfaction). It's a very busy hotel, they can accommodate multiple functions, weddings etc, but on a large family break for New Year's we found ourselves having to sit in the lobby after dinner in the restaurant, waiting to be allowed to use the bar.....as hotel residents, despite there being multiple unoccupied tables in the bar (which all had reserved signs but weren't actually subject to bookings), we couldn't get seated unless we were eating. It summed up the customer experience for me and the attitude towards guests. Not welcomed, not facilitated. Dinner was better than I'd expected, as breakfast had set a pretty low bar. A hotel breakfast is the true test of a venue for me and it was disappointing. The hot food area is unmanned, cramped and poorly planned, with big awkward plastic lids on serving trays and nowhere to place them while serving, which made the process slow. The food itself was alright, cheap catering sausages and fried eggs which were like rubber even as they emerged from the kitchen. Like most decent 4 star restaurants they had a charcuterie offering, but it was pretty poor, even the sliced cheese had dried corners. The pastry selection was routine, but fresh and kept well stocked. Likewise the fruit selection, it was all there, bowls of yogurt too, but it was just uninspiring and summed up by the orange juice, very much from concentrate. All in all it felt like a BnB breakfast in conference center surroundings. The rooms are comfortable, the bed reasonably so. It doesn't feel luxurious, but you wouldn't complain about it. Bathroom was clean, shower was lovely. There were no facecloths, but the housekeeping lady provided a couple when I mentioned it next morning. The hotel is a manageable and safe walk from Tullow, just over 1km away, for a change of scenery, alternative dining options and a much better pint of Guinness. The Leisure center is busy, the pool popular with the kids, the gym is also a public facility and some equipment could do with updating, but it's ok, it has a selection of weight and cardio machines, plus free weights. I was disappointed to find the sauna out of service and apparently had been since before Christmas. The steam room was equally small and a bit lacking in steam, while the Jacuzzi sits about six people at close quarters. For a resort as large and busy as this, also used by non resident members, the spa facilities are tiny and while they may be functional (when actually functioning), they're far from luxurious or relaxing. I found the staff friendly, towels were provided and the girl at the desk lent me a euro to use the lockers in the changing room. I found the junior staff were all very friendly and engaging, except in the bar where floor staff seem too s

Fab hotel in the countryside. We stayed one night and had a great experience. Staff were pleasant and professional and visible throughout the hotel. We availed of the lovely walks near the golf course. We used the swimming pool and leisure centre. It was quiet . Only negative was the heat, the pool water was as warm as a bath. Perfect dinner in Frederick's restaurant, enthusiastic waiting staff who were a real asset. The lounge is very large but was very busy as it served bar food till late so no seats available when we arrived for a post dinner drink. Excellent breakfast system, very organised and plenty of food available with lots of choice. Great bed and room size.

Have been to this hotel on many occasions and it is nice to see that the hotel has been updated and refreshed in the rooms. The family rooms are brilliant with lots of space. The food and service is run very well and would recommend this hotel to anyone to stay. Will be back again for another stay soon.

Fabulous Hotel, such comfortable beds, had a great nights sleep. Highly recommend having the chicken red Thai curry it was delicious and the portion sizes were generous. Then availed of the use of the pool which was just the right temperature Overall I can’t recommend this place enough a gorgeous hotel on beautiful grounds plenty to do or perfect for rest and relaxation , run by a great team of kind , friendly and attentive staff. Thank you for the perfect stay Mount Wosley

I spent one night celebrating a friend's birthday, and we were thrilled to have interconnected rooms, each with an extra-large bed and a single bed. The beds were super comfortable! One little thing that could use some improvement is the hairdryers; they could definitely be updated. We were welcomed with a lovely selection of cakes, which was such a sweet touch! I also indulged in an hour-long facial, but to be honest, it felt a bit too long for my liking. During the treatment, I was left for about 15 minutes, which felt a bit off given the price. The products used were great, but the therapist seemed a little rushed or possibly distracted, which took away from the experience. Plus, the treatment rooms are right by the hydrotherapy pool, so I could hear a lot of noise from there, which kind of disrupted the relaxing vibe. We decided to eat at the bar, where the staff was super friendly and chatty! The food was decent—we ordered a couple of pizzas, chicken goujons, chips, and chicken wings. Unfortunately, the wings looked a bit sad and dehydrated, so we didn't touch them. On a positive note, the live entertainment was fantastic; a guy with a guitar who really knew how to engage the crowd. Breakfast was your typical buffet style, but I did have to ask a few times for coffee. It seems like a popular spot for golf enthusiasts! Would I return for a spa experience? Probably not, but for a fun night with the girls? Definitely yes!

We booked the spa package with dinner and afternoon tea as a hen party treat for a friend. We booked a suite for her as an additional surprise. this room was phenomenal, but all the rooms were outstanding. Everything was excellent about our stay and the staff were exceptional and very attentive. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
