This is a beautiful 18th century abbey which has been converted into a wonderful 5 star hotel. The staff is among the most service oriented and friendly of any hotel in which I have stayed world-wide. The rooms are delightfully appointed, with fine furnishings and excellent bedding. The hotel has a 5 star restaurant on-site and the food in the... More

My family stayed at Glenlo Abbey for two nights last week. The hotel's common areas are beautiful - the rooms are smaller, but very charming. But nothing could beat the amazing staff. Sandra and Maura were among the friendliest people we encountered during our trip. They took a lot of time talking with us about where to go, where to... More

Beautiful facilities! We enjoyed our stay here! Loved that locals frequent the bar here and didn't seem put out by tourists joining them! Maura was incredibly friendly and helpful as we checked in and received advice for activities in the area!

My daughter and I recently stayed at Glenlo Abbey for two nights. What a charming and warm hotel! While the room had a few very minor faults, the service was incomparable. In the morning we were treated to a beautifully laid, complimentary coffee and tea service delivered to our room. One evening we attended a program by the delightful employee... More

I just came back from a 6 night vacation in Ireland booked through Aer Lingus Vacation Store. Without a doubt, our two nights at Glenlo Abbey were the BEST! Yes, the beds were a little more comfortable at two of the other locations we stayed at, but the detail to attention and service at Glenlo were outstanding. It truly is... More

We spent two nights at Glenlo Abbey Hotel the beginning of April 2013, and this was by far the best hotel during our whole trip!

One the highlights of our trip was staying here. The staff were all friendly but exceptionally Maura, she spent time with us each day giving us pointers, places to eat and people to talk to. I'm not sure I've ever met someone so passionate about their country and she wanted us to see it all. The hotel was nice, the... More

Just returned from a week in Ireland and spent 2 nights at Glenlo Abbey. It was our absolute favorite place. We felt very welcomed and pampered. Maura Lee was extremely generous with her time and knowledge - her daytrip idea was extraordinary! Thanks again for everything.
