The room was fine, clean and everything in order and the food was quite nice. The pool area is pretty good too. But somehow this hotel was a let down. There is nothing to do in the area, apart from the leisure center and it is 10 km outside Thurles town so it feels rather like it was built in... more

Had a great week. Great food, excellent leisure centre, swimming pool and gym. State-of-the-art conference rooms. Wireless broadband in all bedrooms. Highly recommended. more

I have mixed experiences of the hotel. I stayed there with my mother, having booked in advance as we were supporting my father, boyfriend and a friend doing a charity bike ride from Malin Head to Mizen Head - they were originally booked into another hotel but decided to cancel this at the last minute and stay at the same... more

For the weary business person, on the road this is a very nice place to stay. Great rooms, firiendly staff and reasonable food. Service was perfect.

We had a business dinner that evening in the hotel restaurant and it was also lovely. My only, and big, problem with the hotel is the sixe of the... more

I stayed at the Horse and Jockey in September for the Feile Fidelma, a weekend convention to celebrate the Sister Fidelma mysteries. My room was spacious and colorful, the bathroom was spacious. Our sessions were in a conference room, the theater, and our banquet was in a dining room. The banquet room was the only thing I had a problem... more

I just want to say what a warm welcome we received when we stayed at the horse and jockey this weekend. After a few days in northern ireland with my wife and kids, we were driving to cork and stopped to break up the journey. What a godsend to cheer up the cranky family? We had a meal which was... more

the hotel was adequate but situated in an out of the way place with no amenities. The food quality was really bad and the service was worse. I wouldnt recommend it in any way for eating - PLEASE AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE more
