The hotel was set in beautiful grounds and very clean

Relaxing stay

9.0

Good location, beautiful grounds, high standard of cleanliness. Very comfortable room , excellent a/c & soundproofing Great view over the estate from our room

small suggestion , was asked on arrival what time we wanted breakfast, which was jarring as we had come to Lyrath to relax without a schedule. Maybe just advise guests breakfast service is busier at certain times. Small detail on an otherwise excellent stay
