    The family room was lovely and really spacious. It had two double beds. Breakfast was fantastic with a large selection of food to choose from. We ate in the Percy French restaurant at the hotel gates and both the food and staff were excellent. I would highly recommend.

    Only place I didn't enjoy was meal in Percy French Overpriced and complained about the very bland fish chowder. It needed seasoning,a thicker soup maybe add cream NOT a big dollop of olive oil floating on top Bread bun had been heated and this made it soggy Staff said oh sorry we will take notes of that. 3 starters,1 main( salmon and potatoes NO veg £25) a cola and wine £90.Wgereas we went to Villi Vici in town 2 starters,2 mains 3 glasses of wine £69.All lovely

    Location - Stunning.King size suite- wonderful.Bath so comfortable.Carpetvso soft to walk on.Greatvto have the living room part add to the enjoyment of the room So many areas to relax in the hotel and enjoy the view. Residence nice and quiet so very relaxing Staff friendly Breakfast- well it had everything. Lovely to walk along the seafront .early in the morning and grab a coffee and muffin to go Then later come back for full breakfast. We also had a relaxing after dinner cocktail in the wolf bar Another afternoon had drinks in the lighthouse. Great to have so many places to enjoy within the hotel Location super for visits to Seaforde and Monalto gardens. We need to comeback as more places to explore in the area

    Water pressure in the bathroom wasn't great, to add to this, the TV signal was shocking so couldn't watch anything without turning itself off. Previous occupants had splattered tea stains all in the bathroom by the bin - missed by maid service. Water not replenished so we were left dreadfully thirsty, this was also missed by the maid service. Not really what you expect when you are paying £400.00 a night. Not sure 2 single G&T's should have been £42.00, either, that was really shocking for us and needless to say, didn't go back to the hotel bar after that!

    Stunning location, beautiful grounds. Excellent breakfast which exceeded expectations. Comfort level was superior. Exceptionally friendly staff.

    Great location, hotel is beautiful and the staff are lovely. We visit this hotel frequently as it is dog friendly and they go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Spa facilities are also great and everything is spotless clean.

    I've always wanted to stay at the Slieve and it exceeded expectations. I was taking my wife to Ireland for the first time, so wanted to make it special. The Slieve didn't disappoint. Great location. Rooms and staff were amazing. The bar had a great vibe for a nightcap with a guy playing the guitar.

    Only thing I didnt like is my room was on the 1st floor, there is no blinds just curtains and it felt too open for me as I was overlooking the car park that's just a personal preference. There was no vanity table or chair/desk in the room which wouldn't be good if you are on a business trip.

    The hotel is absolutely stunning, could not fault the staff they were absolutely brilliant, spa and leisure facilities were great.

    We had dinner at the hotel, and a two course meal nearly took 3 hours. The service was so very slow. The staff where lovely and could not be blamed, just don’t think there where enough of them. This happened again at breakfast. Also it was my wife’s birthday, and this was not recognized. At another 5* hotel they made my birthday a big thing.

    The property is beautiful and so well decorated, set in a beautiful location.

    Room was too warm. Plus was told at the desk that to use the spa we were to change into robes and slippers as there were no changing facilities. This put my husband off so would go. Plus the rob didn't fit me. I went anyway to fing that there were changing rooms. Was annoyed at this.

    The pool and spa. Though a little tired looking
