A fabulous welcome, proper laid back luxury, a wonderful surprise

I booked 2 nights with friends and sisters and we just had the loveliest end of week trip. From the moment we drove in the gate, the service was so warm, friendly, professional. Cesar at the house was an absolute gem 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟nothing was a problem, he so obviously loves his work and it really shows - we were treated like queens, in a lovely, laid back, friendly way! Food was great, we ate from room service menu in the drawing room one evening and they just piled the logs on the fire for us and left us to it. One night my sisters had to move room due to noise from a fan or something we couldn’t quite figure out. Was all dealt with really well. Amazing what a friendly approach can do to diffuse what might otherwise have been a huge inconvenience. Spa treatments were also lovely, a proper massage and the relaxation area was lovely, no pressure to leave or buy anything, just all very chill. On the last day Cesar sorted VIP treatment for us at Kildare Village, which was a lovely extra touch. I was skepticql about staying here, I thought it would be stuffy and a bit “up itself”. It was absolutely the opposite. Loved it and will book again for a quick trip from Dublin that feels like a real break from life. Thanks a million all and well done on maintaining a lovely feel and such high standards all round.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience

My husband and I went to the K Club to celebrate his Special Birthday! We were joined by a friend for the Special Occasion. We had a wonderful, memorable stay! The exceptional amenities and exemplary services are highly recommended! The room (165) was spotless, cosy and beautifully appointed on the third floor. The Staff were friendly, helpful, (nothing was too much trouble) and receptive to our every need…..from Reservations, Marzena to the warm welcome from Richard, Toncho and Jack in Reception to the Breakfast Staff AND Mark and Colleagues in the Palmer Restaurant! ALL were incredibly attentive throughout our stay! Thank you to everyone at the K Club!
A very Special Place

One of the finest and possibly the best hotel experienced that we ever had. I celebrated my birthday and they arranged to have a bottle of champagne along with dessert to our room. The golf course is among the best in the world. The Spa services were amazing. We had a dinner at the Bartons Restaurant everything was well presented and delicious. The staffs are just simply friendly and brilliant. I want to thank Cesar and his team as they greeted us warmly at every interaction and anticipated our potential needs. Can’t wait to return.
Wonderful in so many ways!

Best experience at a hotel in many years. Wonderful in so many ways! We were greeted like old friends by Patrick - in a top hat, no less. Grounds are exquisite and a pleasure to stroll thru. Toured the North Golf Clubhouse and Ryder Cup memorabilia. Henry lounge, Blue Martini bar both great. Breakfast - awesome. Tony of guest services team personally worked on getting lost luggage recovered from airline purgatory and delivered in time to support the wedding we were here for. Unmatched customer service here.
Superb guest experience
