My stay at Glenlo Abbey Hotel was an lovely experience, truly exceeding my expectations. The accommodations were spacious and elegantly decorated, creating a luxurious atmosphere. although I did find the mattress a bit firm for my taste. Dining was really good, especially enjoying the hearty breakfast and good three-course dinner in the Oak Cellar bar.

Overall, the hotel's charm and stunning grounds made for a peaceful retreat, despite a few minor hiccups.

My stay at Glenlo Abbey Hotel had highlights and low points. The stunning surroundings and cozy atmosphere made for a lovely experience, and the breakfast in the River Room was a definite treat. However, the room I had felt a bit tired and dated, and I was disappointed with the 'garden view' room that overlooked a parking lot. Overall, a mix of luxury and elements that could use improvement.
