Templemore Hotels

Nice welcome, covenient to where I needed to be Bed very uncomfortable

Unable to shower due to lack of hot water.

I was delighted with the hotel on arrival; very friendly and efficient staff at reception, and also in the bar. I got very nice barfood, even though it was getting to kitchen closing time, and the room was clean comfortable and pretty much all I'd asked for. I enjoyed the pool (18 metres!) and also encountered very helpful staff there. All during the conference, and carvery lunch the quality and service were great. At check-out, the same efficient, friendly service was evident. Unfortunately the breakfast was rather poor- big plate with 2 deep-fried rashers, two deep-fried sausages, an egg left under the heat lamp too long and a tomatoe. That to me may pass as a cooked breakfast, but not as 'full Irish' as advertised. This was in stark contrast to the meal I had the night before and the lunch that followed that day. It did not help that the male waiter at breakfast was rather brash and rude, leaving me standing as I tried to enquire about breakfast. I observed that it was not just a dislike of me since he treated other guests the same. Pity, since the staff the night before, and for the rest of my stay were brilliantly professional and super friendly!

The food at the wedding was the best thing Room was bad, view appalling, smell coming in the window from pool. No phone in room, breakfast form ignored on door for breakfast in room. Fried breakfast was small.

Rooms were nice and clean. Well furnished

Value for money. The demeanour of the receptionist was not the best, as the first contact when arriving, a smile or two might be good. When I eat, I prefer staff not to be polishing and cleaning around me.

old world ambience Breakfast in the bar. I expected it in the dining room. Also breakfast was very mediocre - e.g. I had to ask 3 times for fruit and then one person brought a rotten banana and an apple and another brought a bowl of canned fruit cocktail
