Parknasilla Resort & Spa

My wife and I stayed here 2 night last weekend. The grounds are incredible and the beautiful weather was an added bonus. All staff we encountered were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was perfect. We did the Murder Mystery Trail which takes you all around the grounds and is a fun and innovative way of exploring. Would highly recommend and already looking forward to going back again.

Lovely Oceanside resort with beautifully appointed rooms. Attention to detail is unmatched. We were on a one week tour of Ireland with stays in 'castle hotels' and this was our favourite. Definitely a bit out of the way and the roads driven to get there are not for the faint of heart but worth it! ||Just an FYI - this place caters to families and there were a lot of young families during our stay ... It doesn't make for the best dining experience, mostly in the a la carte dining room.

This hotel offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, mainly thanks to its outstanding staff. The team is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always willing to help, making the stay very pleasant. The location is fantastic, especially for nature lovers—perfect for hiking and exploring the surrounding area. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. The lobby often has a noticeable firewood scent, which can sometimes be a bit too strong. While the rooms are decent, there is definitely room for improvement in terms of comfort and amenities. That being said, they are still good enough for a comfortable stay. Overall, a great option with excellent service and an ideal location for outdoor activities. Just a few small changes could make it even better!

We recently held my mom’s birthday celebrations in Parknasilla and I cannot recommend this hotel enough! In total, we invited 64 guests over 2 nights with dinner included. Obviously with a party this size there were lots of changes and requests in the weeks and months leading up to it, but nothing was too much trouble.||The event was organised and meticulously planned by Amy O’Regan who is an absolute super star and a pleasure to deal with. Every single tiny detail was taken care of from menu requests to lift accessible rooms. When we checked in, Amy met us in reception and upgraded my room and my mom’s room which was a lovely surprise! There was lovely arrangement of chocolates in my mom’s room and a tasty bottle of Prosecco in mine…again such a lovely touch! Amy organised a private room with live music for us on the second night. She even organised a bus to take all of us into Sneem on the Friday night and was our photographer on the Saturday night! ||Absolutely everyone that attended was so impressed with the grounds, the views, the food etc. There’s something here for everyone from the playground and games room for the kids, to tennis, swimming, golf, spa, yoga etc. for the adults. So many people commented about how nice it was to stay in a 5 star hotel and were surprised when I mentioned that it was 4 star. It definitely has a 5 star feel but without the stuffiness and exorbitant prices! All of the staff are so lovely and warm and there’s a really relaxing vibe in the hotel. ||I’ll finish by saying thank you so much to all of the staff working there, especially Amy for making my mom’s birthday so special. The whole weekend was perfect from start to finish and my mom was over the moon! So many special memories made that will stay with us for a lifetime. Thanks so much again, Frances & Sally.

A fantastic place to bring the family and there is something for everyone to do and enjoy. We stayed in one of the villas and it was the cleanest place I've ever stayed in Ireland. The kind and friendly welcome we received from John was also received by every member of staff. The only negative was the overpricing of coffees and snacks. I think that could be a far more lucrative and successful business if the beverages and snacks were reasonably priced. The location, the amenities and five star service by all the staff team make this a real gem. We will definitely return!

Stayed at the woodland lodges so cannot comment on bedrooms at the hotel. However the lodges were excellent and well situated a short walk from the hotel. The resort itself is perfect for a family break. Lots to do, you could stay for week and still not check out everything. We dined at either Dolittle Bar or Pygmalion over the 3 evenings and would highly recommend both. Staff are universally excellent and couldn't do enough to make your stay enjoyable. Beautiful walks and trails around the resort. Nice 9 hole course, with another pitch and putt course which I wish we had checked out earlier. One minor comment is the Hideout which is a building just outside of the hotel where kids can hang out could do with few more pieces of equipment (pool table maybe) or arcade games. Hard to pick any real fault though and probably the best Irish resort we have stayed at without a doubt. We will be back.

Simply wonderful! The ambience, food, rooms and service were all really great. It's a lovely hotel, not too big with great amenities. Donald the manager and Tim were especially attentive. We were so lucky with the weather last week it enabled us to take full advantage of the beautiful tranquil walks with stunning views. However if the weather was bad there is a nice spa and swimming pool to enjoy, I'll have to go back! Thanks everyone, super trip.

Overall we enjoyed our stay...the resort is absolutely beautiful, the scenery is stunning.|Dinner in the bar was very nice and a great ambience was created by excellent live music..this coupled with the amazing view made for a very pleasant evening. |The staff are excellent...top marks all around,extremely helpful and friendly. |We stayed in the courtyard lodges...they are adequate but in need of a refresh...the curtain was torn,the toilet in the main ensuite was very wobbly...decor was tired,the double bed seemed small...but they were very clean.|We would love to stay again but in the main hotel next time
