Food in the hotel restaurant was excellent. Only issue was room temperature was too warm and we couldn’t get the heat turned off. Staff did try to resolve issue. They were helpful; brought us a fan, which helped.
The staff were all friendly and helpful. The pool had plenty of space and has family changing rooms. The bar food was lovely. The room was so hot but during the night i went to reception and the porter gave me 2 fans so we all slept well after that.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very clean and a little dated.Old USB outlets and one electrical outlet in the room. Breakfast was very basic and underwhelming. Staff was great and bar/restaurant was a 7 out of 10
Check in was fine evening meal was nice service was a bit hit and miss first of the breakfast was burnt second days breakfast was fine overall wasn't a bad stay
We really enjoyed our overnight trip.
The staff were so friendly. The food was really nice and everywhere was so clean.
Value for money all round and will most definitely be going back.
This property was gorgeous. Staff was super friendly and breakfast was amazing. Only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is there was no AC in the rooms and our room was a dead zone for the internet. I would definitely stay again though.
Was great thanks very much x Everyone very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us x 😊

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
A lovely hotel ,kids were made feel welcome with an arrival pack and ice cream !
Hotel rooms clean but bland ,need some colour ..
Only downfall ,went to the bar about 7pm for a bite to eat to be turned away as no reservation, no attempt to provide us with an alternative ,hence had to drive into Athenry to get some dinner.
The check in was easy and staff friendly. One thing that their website does not state is, if you want to use their pool you mandatorily need a hair cap. If you dont have one, you can buy one from a few Euros.
The breakfast buffet was sub par, but the staff was excellent. I would like to call out Detty, she was exceptional and made our breakfast experience 10times better!
Very clean and well-maintained hotel. All the staff were lovey and extremely helpful. The food was excellent. I cannot fault Raheen Woods Hotel in any way. Athenry is a lovely historic town for a stroll around and a trip to the castle is worth it.
The property allowed us to check in early without charge. Staff were super friendly. The bed was comfy. The rooms are very dark and a little dated but they’re clean and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. Well worth the price we paid
