Druids Glen Resort

Enjoyed a 3 day stay mid summer. Checkin was quick friendly and Katie on reception was so helpful with evey little query. The foyer is beautiful so comfortable classic large stone fireplace and beautiful furniture. The room was perfect and spotlessly clean. Stunning large bathroom with l'occitane toiletries in plentiful supply. We had a Juliet balcony it was great in the evenings to have the fresh air and views over the golf course. Used the SPA for treatments pure joy reasonable priced and the therapeutic range very satisfactory. The Therapist was lovely and very knowledgeable and professional. We had good in the bar one night it’s very busy so make a reservation especially for a crowd. Food good but portions on the fish on the small size for the price. Amazing walk around the outskirts of the golf course and we walked from the hotel to the club house where the staff were really welcoming and even offered us a lift back to the hotel. The views are stunning. Breakfast was excellent great choice hot buffet but I had omelettes or eggs Benedict to order instead which was no problem and arrived quickly. Great selection of herbal teas and juices. Staff at breakfast were so helpful and friendly nothing was too much to ask for. Beautiful place for a few days I’m really looking forward to a return trip ideal spot for a winter break as there is loads to do on site.

Pretty poor overall for a 5 star. We stayed as a couple for a quiet weekend away. It would have been more relaxing to stay at home. Staff are lovely, room was more like a good 3 star but it was comfortable. Very noisy with families playing games in the hallways until late. Absolute chaos with kids in the pool, it's very much a posh centerparcs. Long queue for breakfast, while kids hammered on the piano in the restaurant. Dinner was pretty good, great waiters, again just chaotic with kids. Bizarre experience and a waste of money for what we were expecting based on misleading website. Understandable that families need a place to go away too, but be up front about that on the website and don't sell it as a relaxing retreat. In short, seemed great for families, absolutely terrible idea for couples weekend. Should be 4 star realistically.

We travelled from Surrey with high expectations for Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort, but unfortunately, our experience was nothing short of disappointing, and we certainly won’t be returning. Starting with the Glen golf course, the condition was shockingly poor for a venue that dares to market itself as premium. The welcome was non existent from a chap no more than 16 years old with little interest in his role. The tee boxes looked practically dead, clearly suffering from complete neglect. The greens were painfully slow, inconsistent, and lacked any of the pace or quality you'd expect from a top-level course. To make matters worse, many bunkers were unraked, and the course overall showed clear signs of poor maintenance and lack of care. For the green fee being charged, this is quite frankly a rip-off. The golf experience was not only disappointing, it was frustrating. The Heath course although a fraction of the cost was in slightly better condition but still not worthy of the fee charged. Again, welcomed by inexperienced staff and the buggy we were given on both days was filthy. We played Bray golf club on day 1 and this was a better experience at a lower cost than the two courses in this Resort. As for the hotel 7 clubhouses, the problems didn’t end at the course. Service was slow, inattentive, and disorganised, and the food was utterly tasteless. Bland, lacking freshness, and miles away from anything remotely close to fine dining. We genuinely questioned if the staff had any experience delivering what is supposedly a five-star experience. Let’s be clear: this is absolutely not a 5-star hotel, and it’s misleading to advertise it as such. From the golf course to the hotel service, the entire resort falls well below standard. Save your money and your time — there are far better places in Ireland (and abroad) where you’ll get the quality, hospitality, and care that Druids Glen severely lacks.

First we were forgotten about for our planned spa treatment. Secondly mix up with our booked dinner booking. Although we were given a refund as we had paid for dinner in restaurant and not a limited menu they offered us in garden room, we were left totally disappointed by having to repeat ourselves over and over to staff members.

Druids Glen needs to stop advertising itself as a luxury 5 star resort. It is a family 4 star hotel. Staff & service was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. Room & bedroom was average. Apartments as you drive up to the hotel feels like going through a housing estate. Sent to pool changing rooms to get ready for spa treatments, which were dirty wet, crowded and far too warm. No changing cubicles. Lumps of hair in shower cubicles and grime on edges of doors. Jacuzzi was grubby on edges. Lots of children running around the restaurant after 8pm. Sadly would not return. Feel bad about leaving this review but this was my experience.

An outstanding hotel in a beautiful setting, the two courses are very well looked after stunning and a great selection of challenging wholes. The 19th whole is modern and classy. The Rooms are exceptional with beautiful views The spa is a must moody and warming atmosphere and a great massage. The hotels dining and Breakfast room serves a lovely selection of food. Great steak!
