On this trip to Ireland, we stayed in three different hotels. We spent our first night about an hour southwest of Dublin in the Heritage Golf & Spa Resort.
From the outside it didn't look like much...
...but walk through the front door and you see a pretty spectacular entry.
Our flight landed in Dublin at 3:30am, and by the time we got our rental car and drove to the hotel it was still really early, so we spent some time sleeping on these couches in the lobby until the front desk was open and we could check in. They were so nice and got our room cleaned up for us even though check in isn't usually until 3:00. We were tired after a red-eye flight, so that was very appreciated.
Our room
A few minutes after we got to our room, the TV suddenly turned itself on. Kind of creepy, right? On the screen was a welcome message that was personalized with my name (the reservation was in my name) and it was a nice touch, but also kind of strange.
Our bathroom
We were at this hotel for a very short time, but we enjoyed it. The people were very friendly and accommodating, and our room was spacious and very comfortable after a long night of traveling. We didn't eat much there, but we did order apple pie in our room and have afternoon tea in the lounge. The apple pie was different than we were used to - creamier with softer apples - but it was good, and we had fun at tea since it's not something we normally do.
Overall our stay was great. This hotel is a bit of a drive from Dublin, but if you're looking for luxury that's a little bit out of the way but still close enough to lots of interesting sites, this could be a winner.
