Four Seasons Hotel, Carlingford

Once again, my husband and I chose to stay at the Four Seasons, and as always, it did not disappoint! This hotel is simply amazing, and so are the staff. From the moment we checked in until our departure, we were treated like royalty. Dermot, the General Manager, greeted us with a warm smile and friendly conversation, making us feel instantly welcome. To our delight, we even received a lovely complimentary upgrade! Every aspect of our stay was exceptional—the staff were incredibly friendly, the food was outstanding, and the service throughout was flawless. We also enjoyed the pool facilities, which were spotless and very relaxing. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained, immaculately clean, and always feels fresh, as if it had just opened. A huge thank you to Dermot and the wonderful team for taking such great care of us. We will definitely be returning again! Ken & Karen Doherty

Spent a wonderful weekend here! I made the reservation last November for my party of 7 (incl a toddler). All my various requests (and there were several) for the bedrooms and the dining room were looked after and I was impressed I didn't have to follow up on anything on arrival! The newly decorated bedrooms were comfortable and clean. We opted to have dinner in the dining room where the a la carte menu was varied and there was something for everyone! The food was excellent! The staff were professional and friendly and, eventhough the hotel was busy, we were well looked after. Special mention to Ciaran and Taylor who helped make our dining experience more enjoyable! My group had a wonderful time! We rated our stay highly and would recommend this hotel! Thanks to all the team for looking after us so well. You helped make my special birthday celebration more special! Oh and thank you for the birthday card and chocolate gift too!

I felt the food was not good and the breakfast was quiet cold. I am sorry but it was not a good experience for me. I was there before which was good. I was very disappointed and would not want to visit it again. After my evening meal I felt it did not sit right with me.

The hotel smelled like rotten eggs or sewerage! Disgusting. Management was horrible and rude. Spoke to us in a disgusting tone. One called annemarie shouted at us rudely infront of other guests. Would never return. Awful place. Awful people.

Wow... what a wonderful hotel! Best wheelchair accessible bedroom... sheer luxury, attention to detail was amazing... very large and comfortable room with a beautifil, well equipped bathroom. Fantastic, friendly, professional Staff... shout out to to Dermot, Catherine, Taylor and all who made it such a memorable experience! Thank you... already looking forward to our next stay!

We visited the hotel as a treat from me to my husband for his 40th Birthday. Check in - very quick and efficient, payment made on arrival, upgraded to Oriel Suite. Room - Fab, spotlessly clean, obviously recently updated with beautiful lighting and lovely seating area by tv. Plenty of room too. Nespresso Machine with pods, tea/coffee making station in wardrobe. Robes/slippers, etc. Bathroom nicest we've had in a hotel, really powerful shower, huge bath. Balcony to step out on for air but this room was just overlooking the carpark but also the mountains behind the hotel. Breakfast - loved that the hot food was served by staff at the counter, it was fresh and hot both mornings. Good selection also. Continental was self service and enough of selection of bread / fruit / yoghurts / cereals / pastries etc as well as juices. Coffee was a bit disappointing, but didnt bother us too much. Dinner - we had issues with a few things on our first night. Deep fried brie starter was poor, a bit too like freezer portions that could be purchased in a supermarket. We then had approximately 30 minute wait between starter and mains, we're not normally in a hurry to have the next course but this pushed it a little bit. Garlic bread that was served with my pasta dish was hard and felt like it was sitting under the warmer in kitchen for quite a while. My husbands chicken stir fry was like a pool of sauce with chewy chicken, wasnt very appetising, a little less sauce and less watery and may have been a bit better. We communicated the issues to the waiter and a manager when he asked if all was ok - fresh garlic bread was brought out and the manager arranged to have the bottle of wine we had with dinner removed from the bill and another free drink each too at the bar. This made up for it. Ciaran, one of the barmen, looked after us very well after dinner and really went out of his way the next night to ensure that we had a lovely meal/evening. We chatted to him regularly during our stay - lovely chap, hotel should be very grateful to have him on their team! Dinner the second night was faultless - chicken wings were the nicest (and hottest!!) I've ever tasted. Steak was perfect too and the sweet potato fries were a great choice. Hotel in general - clean, modern, comfortable, great location, only a few minutes walk into the town. Staff - as mentioned above, Ciaran, the barman deserves a special mention, he was chatty, helpful and very courteous. Looked after us very well both nights and took time to stop and chat to us about our visit etc. All staff members we met, including Managers, were very friendly and welcoming. Probably some of the nicest staff throughout any of the hotels we've stayed in. Shows the positive working relationship between all, they create a lovely atmosphere. Leisure Centre - good sized pool for those looking to have a proper swim. Was quiet when we went in the afternoon on the Sunday, only a few others there. A
