Radisson Blu Farnham Estate Hotel Review

Have just returned from.Farnham Estate having heard so much about it I was really looking forward to staying.
Sadly I was disappointed. Pool was cold
Shower in the room was also cold.
Not enough pillows in the bedrooms.
Single beds very small.
Long wait for food in the cellar bar.
On the plus side staff were nice.
We did mention on leaving about the cold shower and pillows so hopefully these issues will be addressed.
Would I stay again I'm not so sure .

2 great days stay at this hotel very attentive staff rooms great

Amazing views... awesome spa... huge breakfast spread... loved the property as a whole. Bonus is the golf course and walking trails within the 1300 acre of land including woodlands.

Lovely hotel friendly staff and beautiful nature trails

Great location for a wedding very beautiful hotel with plenty of grounds to take a stroll or long walk. Great food and drink and staff were very friendly. Food at the wedding was really high quality and very large portions.

Our first time in this hotel. We enjoyed our stay over all. Lovely grounds and friendly staff. Clean and brilliant pool and spa facilities.

We preboooked the 3 course meal in Maxwell's. Lovely food, great decore too. However the service was poor. Friendly waiters but we waited and waited to be served. Then when food came no side I ordered, but got charged for it (but they didn't take the money when I questioned it). We could only order one drink each as slow service and wanted more. No tea or coffee given. Next time we will just go for the bar food. Spoilt it a bit.

Breakfast was huge choice and great food. But we had to go find our own cups, cutlery etc. Poor service again but friendly.

Deffo would stay here again. Its worth a 2 night stay to be honest. Gave 4 stars based on the poor table service. But otherwise we recommend staying here.

Fantastic accommodation fantastic pool and spa. Ate in The Wine Goose Cellar and it was lovely and super fast. Lovely staff and grounds. Room too class and spotless

Hotel is spot on but golf course very wet at the moment 30th March I would definitely go back to hotel in future the food is very good.

Beautiful for a good rest so relaxing and great staff

Just back from a one night stay in this hotel. Never wrote a review before but this hotel deserves it. Firstly the staff was incredible so nice and helpful they honestly were the nicest staff we've come across. The hotel itself is amazing, we had a beautiful view, the spa was gorgeous and the infitiy pool is a must do. Myself and my parenter (both late 20's) really enjoyed our stay. It's important to pre book any spa treatments prior to arrival. The food was outstanding. Pretty sure this will be the only hotel we will continuously come back too. Also the walks are so nice so again important to pack your walking runners. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Perfect mixture of the beauty of the outdoor walking trails and the relaxation that emanates from the indoor spa. It is a fantastic venue with great staff, excellent food and a bar that can cater to all tastes.

The spa was nice but some features where out of order. The lobby of the hotel was covered with flies which really made our cup of tea very unpleasant. However the down stairs restaurant was lovely. The food was fantastic, and the service was perfect.

Such a nice relaxing hotel... Best spa I have been in Ireland. Amazing gin selection

First time here and could honestly not fault our stay! Our room was extremely comfortable and spacious with a great view, evening meal and breakfast was first class and as for the thermal suite it was brilliant. Would definitely recommend.. the only disadvantage was we only stayed one night but we will definitely be back in the near future. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Beautiful hotel, comfortable rooms, great bar and fabulous breakfast!

Very nice common areas and high spec designed rooms. The food is good and the Guinness is creamy. I hear the golf is good and the spa treatments excellent. I hope to visit again soon.

Great golf course, very much underrated and under used, go play it.

Good, even great for couples I would imagine. Beautiful hotel, however, as a small group of lads there for golf outing we have been to much more welcoming venues.

Great place! Just back from a 2-night stay in this Hotel. Staff very friendly and attentive. On arrival we received complimentary tea/coffee and the best scones we had in a long time. Spa treatment was lovely and the nearby forest walks very enjoyable. Highly recommend it.

The room was dirty, the SPA wasn't cleaned from one day to another, freezing water in the swimming pools,... We expected much more for a so expensive hotel

Fantastic hotel, such a relaxing place with an excellent thermal suite and pool. Had a delicious dinner in Maxwells and drinks at the bar after, great for a little getaway.

Lovely hotel and spa experience. The outdoor pool is unforgettable. Wonderful walks on the grounds. The staff were very friendly also.

Just Wow! Luxury from start to finish yet ft more than comfortable the whole time!

Overrated.....new rooms pleasant and clean old side bedrooms dismal smell fusty windows in bad need of being cleaned.

Was not worth the money I have been in better hotels not Even a biscuit on your room tray decor needs a uplifting beds very uncomfortable pillows ver bad

Excellent and will be back. Lovely food and friendly staff.

Don't go this time of year no air conditioning in bedrooms otherwise enjoyable stay

Definitely worth 5 stars .very enjoyable stay and the walks are amazing

Just back from a two night stay at Farnham Estate and I cannot recommend this hotel enough! From the moment we arrived to the second we left we were made feel so welcome. The grounds and forest are quite large and very well maintained, with its setting making it the perfect place to relax. The spa and pool facilities are excellent and are available to residents free of charge, while separately guests can book a range of different treatments should they wish. Rooms are spacious, modern and clean while there is a hugh variety at breakfast time each morning meaning everyone is well catered for, including coeliacs and those with special dietary requirements. While we didn't try the dining room, we had dinner each night in the Cellar Bar where the dining experience is more casual but the food was delicious nonetheless. If you are thinking of coming to stay here but haven't yet made up your mind, my advice is book now - you won't be disappointed! *****

Attended a wedding here. The grounds were really nice the meal was great. Didnt get to check out the spa / pool but heard from other that it was great. They even have a shuttle to bring you from the carpark to the hotel in case youre wearing heals and cant make the walk.

Peaceful, private. Friendly and helpful. A relaxed ambiance.

Beautiful location excellent facilities great staff excellent food very relaxing

Great place i am not crazy for their restaurant as the food options are not amazing but overall as experience is great.

A little slice of heaven, wonderful walks, relaxing spa and good food in the bars and restaurants.

Myself and my wife recently stayed here, we were very disappointed the room was very grubby,the furniture was badly marked and the room could have been doing with a good dusting, other than that the staff was very friendly and the spa facility's were very good along with the pools .

Top class place.
The rooms are really spacious and it give a homely atmosphere as you walk through the door. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a weekend away.
The walks in the gardens and the occupying pathways gives you a feeling of freedom. At this estate there is many amenities to give you a fun filled weekend or short break away.
Stayed here quite alot of times.

Beautiful hotel on lovely grounds. Rooms are spacious and very well maintained. The food in the restaurant was of very high quality and there was a great variety of food for breakfast. The spa area was large with plenty to experience, lots of areas to relax and a fabulous outdoor infinity pool.

Great hotel to really relax, great spa and leisure facilities highly recommended, staff friendly and very professional in helping you with your needs

Staff are all great and the building and location is very nice. The Sunday dinner unfortunately was pretty average to poor and the selection was very limited.

Sheer luxury- fabulous hotel in beautiful surroundings

Had a fantastic stay here! Fabulous hotel. Loved dining at their new restaurant. Food and service was superb
Will definitely return... hopefully soon!

Nice Hotel. Executive rooms are of the same standard as the double rooms but you do have more space... nothing special at all. Disappointed with dinner on both days that we stayed. Long waiting times for food and meal served is not what was asked for.

Beautiful hotel and grounds. Lovely staff. A lovely relaxing break!

Great space for a get away and really warm and friend staff! We have found our new favourite retreat!

Very relaxing stay and competitive rates. Lunch & bar food menus could have a few more healthy choices.

We stayed here for a few nights and it was amazing. The staff, facilities and management where second to none. So friendly and helpful even when the electric went out for 20 minutes or so they couldn't do enough to please us. I had a message from Sophie and it was excellent. Top marks on cleanliness and the spa with the outdoor pool, sauna, steam room and relaxation room's all free, made our stay here something else. Plenty of reasons to go back as the food was exceptional. Breakfast, lunch and dinner all seemed so easy, no fuss or complaining about this or that like you would in similar hotels. Outside walks where the hotel provided boots for us to wear to enjoy the space around the hotel was a nice touch. Overall this hotel and spa is quite easily a perfect place to switch off and relax in luxury where nothing has not been thought of. 10/10...

Brilliant service in all aspects and the spa is amazing.

This is a very beautiful 4* hotel. Lots of old features from the original building with very modern decor and furnishing throughout. Very friendly service, outdoor spa pool & grounds. Nice option for a relaxing weekend.

Overpriced and over estimated, went with great expectations and let down from the start, delay in getting our room, after getting the room only view from Windows was a dirty flat roof. Room had no air conditioning and very hot at night time. This is the only hotel I have ever stayed in that I had ring reception for toilet paper, ended up going into Cavan to buy some. Food was incredibly both nights, but on the second morning chair broken when I sat on it and waitress was as so interested in her phone brought us coffee without cups and completely forgot the toast. Stay away. Room 210.

This is the best hotel around i mean i love it i have been there i think 6 times with my wife in the last year. We love it

Excellent place to stay amazing staff alright golf course excellent food

Beautiful place good food infinity pool outside is lovely along with the spa facilitys, not many if any young kids so great for couples

The grounds are breathtaking, with views for miles across the golf course. The staff are very friendly, and service was fast. I had one of the best burgers I have had in years in the cellar bar. The hotel itself is very bright, with lots of large open spaces. The car park is a bit away from the hotel, but they have a shuttle bus that runs back and forth from the car park every few minutes with a very friendly driver who will take care of you and your luggage. If there are any flaws with this hotel, i certainly didn't notice them. The only issue I had was finding it in the first place. Its a bit outside Cavan town, and i have to ask for directions.

Absolutely beautiful hotel nothing is too much bother lovely room food is great

Hotel in a beautiful setting . Spa and pool just perfect. Will stay again.

A huge hotel, with most of the rooms and facilities built onto the original estate house at the front. The main thing I noticed was the army of staff that was always available, especially in the restaurants (there are 3) and spa which made you feel like you were always being looked after.
The rooms are a good size and in decent condition. As a fan of a deep bath I found the water pressure and temperature a little disappointing, and the design with the plug in the middle made it difficult to properly relax in.
The spa and pool facilities were all great, especially being able to swim outside. Treatments are quite expensive but of good quality.
Breakfast options are comprehensive including hot and cold items. The food in the cellar bar was fine and it was better in the main restaurant.
There are extensive grounds for walking and you'll get regular warnings that they can be muddy. This is definitely true so bring wellies if you really want to get out for a ramble. We went in January and couldn't get far on the trails.
We had a pleasant stay overall, and would recommend it for a weekend break.

Relaxing place to visit for afternoon tea. Staff friendly, polite and efficient.

As a frequent visitor (often twice a week) and a wheelchair user I often find that all of the disabled access parking spaces are in use. Usually about half of those vehicles parked in disabled access bays at the hotel entrance are not displaying the requisite disabled parking permit. This is a selfish act on the part of the able bodied person(s) who take these spaces. I see little evidence that this abuse of the disabled access parking bays is being addressed by the facilities management team

We stayed at the hotel as part of a golf break in march. The hotel is fabulous!! Very chic and boutique, the rooms, food, spa and bar areas superb! We played golf on the first day at the slieve Russell golf club then played the next day at the Farnham Estate. Truth be told that if we had to do it again we would have played the slieve Russell twice. The Farnham Estate has some lovely holes but has a strange layout with quite a distance between holes especially on the back 9 and between the 9th and 10th in particular.

Beautiful hotel, away from distractions, with an amazing relaxation setup. You'll nerd to stay for 2 nights to get the full benefit.

Gorgeous hotel and service was great. Wings were not cooked and wine was warm, but when brought to the staff's attention, I was brought new cold wine and the wings were taken off the bill. Thumbs up for great service :-)

Omg!! fabulous place to unwind.. that pool!! I will be back...

Lovely spa break for our mini-moon. Great facilities. Room bit worn down and in need of few repairs. But overall a fantastic stay

Great experience. first class facilities 'friendly staff great food'out door pool fantastic.recommend this place to anyone looking for relaxing surroundings.ps out door walks and forest areas brilliant.loved it.
