Arrived on Friday evening and dined in the restaurant. Staff very helpful and four of us all enjoyed our food. I had fish and chips, excellent, chicken supremes were well appreciated too. The in house made soda bread is a real treat. Our breakfasts were also excellent, we tried the full Irish, porridge and continental all with endless drinks and lovely soda bread. Geraldine and Susan our servers could not have done more for us. Our rooms on the Second floor were perfectly good enough, shower was warm and the bed massive and comfortable. You will read about the parking situation and it is difficult, we got in the underground park others managed to park on the surrounding streets The hotel is in a great location for town an is on the river Moy

Stayed recently for a weekend stopover. Perfect for a town center stay and all requirements within walking distance. From checkin to checking out all staff were very pleasant , helpful and attentive. An allocated parking zone would be very helpful for checkin and drop-off. Obviously possible as when we arrived a number of bays were cordoned off for a rubbish skip! Our room was clean and cosy with all amenities, did take a bit of figuring out how to turn down the heat but got there, would have liked to have opened a window but understandable why they were locked. Dined there on first evening , seated by the riverside window with a wonderful view. Menu covered all requirements albeit short but that can be a good thing. Cooked , presented and served to perfection. Though we had a giggle at dessert as the panacotta seemed to be an upside down version of the cheesecake ! Breakfast was also to perfection, full Irish of course and the omelette was excellent. Top marks to the kitchen and staff. Tip, go early to avoid the crowd and all the golfing stories ! Lots of nooks and crannies on ground and first floor if looking for a quiet chat or a read. In fear of looking like a secondhand furniture store though with the amount of different suites, sofas and settees stuffed into various corners. In house Parking is tight and a challenge for the larger vehicles. Only blot on our stay were the uncontrolled children in the restaurant at evening dinner. One particular family get together with parents allowing their little ones to be in high octane mode playing with toys around the floor disregarding the obvious disturbance and discomfort of other couples out for a quiet Friday night meal. Also oblivious of the dangers this behaviour poses as waitrons were serving tables with hot meals, soups, coffees et al. Management should have intervened here or at least have notifications to control those little angels from a Health and Safety point of view. Not pretty when there are accusations, burn marks and scars to deal with your Honour. It would also help the ambiance of an evening if the restaurant lighting was turned down. There were more than ample amount of lit candles on each table but all main lighting were fully lit taking an element of relaxation out of the setting. Not our first stay here nor our last.

“Refresh needed to warrant 4 stars”

Did not feel like a 4 star hotel. The bedroom could do with a refresh. Too expensive for the quality experienced. However, staff very good.

“Dasappointing. Unlike my previous stay .”

This was my second time staying at the Manor hotel. I was disappointed to find that the standard had dropped considerably since my previous visit. There was no 8 formati9n folder in the room.

This was my second time staying at the Manor hotel. I was disappointed to find that the standard had dropped considerably since my previous visit. There was no 8 formati9n folder in the room. On our first day there the phone was out of order. Sharing a twin room we found both beds most uncomfortable. There was what felt like loose or broken springs in both beds. Their website said breakfast on Saturday & Sunday was from 7-11 . We found this to be misleading. Breakfast finished at weekday time 7-10.30, which was quite acceptable but we missed out on Sunday breakfast because of the misinformation. The shower was in the bath and without a bathmat proved dangerously slippy. The temperature in the room was unbearably hot and apparently difficult to control. Luckily, we were supplied with a fan. I must say that the staff was pleasant and helpful. I would add that, in my view the Manor hotel does not rate as a four star hotel.
