My stay at Carton House was a mixed bag. The grounds are stunning and perfect for relaxing walks, but the experience didn't quite match the premium price tag. Service was inconsistent, with missed room cleanings and unexpected maintenance interruptions. The dining was overly priced for the quality received, which was disappointing. Overall, it had its moments of charm, but definitely left me wanting more.

I had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful hotel, which perfectly blended historic charm with modern luxury. The architecture is stunning, and the grounds are meticulously maintained, offering a picturesque atmosphere for relaxation. The staff were incredibly accommodating and welcoming. However, the dining experience suffered from notably slow service, which was a downside to an otherwise perfect getaway. Overall, it's a great spot for a relaxing retreat but could fine-tune dining operations.
