The Perfect Wedding Venue

10.0

On Saturday December 26th 2020, our wedding reception took place in the Carrickdale Hotel & Spa. We would like express our sincere appreciation to the McParland family, Michelle Barrett (our wedding co-ordinator), and all of the staff of this fabulous hotel and wedding venue. We can’t even begin to imagine how difficult this past 12 months has been for the owners, management and staff of the Carrickdale, however not one portion of this hardship, financial or otherwise, was passed on to us at any stage. We originally booked the Lacey’s Suite for July 25th and Michelle had planned an amazing summer wedding for us. Due to the pandemic, we had to postpone and reschedule. Throughout our entire wedding process, Michelle was outstanding. From the very first phone call in March, Michelle endeavoured to ensure we had the Wedding Day that we always dreamed of. Despite the ever-changing guidelines, Michelle continuously worked closely with us to make all of the necessary re-arrangements. She was always there for us and genuinely cared. We cannot thank her enough. We always wanted to get married in the Carrickdale, however our Wedding Day exceeded all of our expectations. From the picturesque gardens that we used for our photographs, to the spectacular décor and surroundings in the Bernish Suite for our reception, we and our guests were blown away. The service and meal provided was top class, as once again Michelle, and the staff, ensured that everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. It was a day we will never forget. We would highly recommend the Carrickdale Hotel & Spa to any recently engaged couple who are planning a wedding. We certainly hope to be able to celebrate many more happy occasions here in the years ahead and look forward to returning to the hotel in the near future. Look no further for the perfect wedding venue!

Booked a family room for mid term break for two nights. Horrible experience. Reception requested we paid full on checking in, this is before we seen room etc The family room wasnt what was advertised on the webpage It had a small double,& pop up camp bed and a L shaped mattress on a wooden block. Room very dirty, not hovered. Bad service in bar for food, first family there and waited 45mins for our food. Worst waster to come... The noise at night was relentless There was a banding noise in the walls, First receptionist stated it was a ongoing problem with a old sensory light system, which banged everytime someone opened there door or was in the corridor of that floor It got so bad I had to pack up my kids in the middle of the night and go home as the manager couldn't change us room as all family rooms was occupied, and said it's always like that???? No offer of other rooms My kids were getting woke up time and time again both under the age of 5, I explained to the manager I would pack up and come down to get a refund in 5mins as he was no help and rude. When I returned he wasnt to be found, and the lady explained he was dealing with another issue Bad service Untrained staff Dirty throughout Unacceptable sleeping area / noise I've emailed asking for emails address to complain to highter up management and was refused. Also got no reply for my complaint to the hotel I dont usually right reviews, but I wouldn't want any other family to be put in that noisey hell hole

I have stayed in this hotel so many times and it never disappoints. The room was spotless, so comfortable. Staff always helpful. Beautiful peaceful location but still super close to town. Its so cheap compared to alot of hotels in the area and its of equal standard. I will continue to stay here in the future.

Lovely stay

Lovely room, staff were very friendly and accommodating. Sauna/pool/jacuzzi were all excellent and there was plenty of space Had a very worthwhile spa treatment. Dinner was very reasonably priced and tasty. Great breakfast too. Good little bar, not much atmosphere or comfy seating but it did the trick. Not too far from town centre - 10-12 taxi each way. We went for our wedding anniversary and there was a welcoming plate of sweet treats and a lovely welcoming message on arrival in our room, which was a very nice touch.
