Hotel Woodstock Ennis

Overall a really great hotel with good staff. Clean, beautiful decor, beautiful setting in a quiet area. My room(triple room) was large. Bath tub and shower which is great. Iron as well, but no hairdryers sadly. I haven’t tried the pool but a fantastic plus to the hotel. All tv channels are there for English speakers. WiFi was good. The surroundings are really pretty. Loads of green, the golf course, woods and a residential area. The price was acceptable although I checked to go back in June with my clients and the price is double so I won’t be able to go back. The only downside I found was the distance from the town centre. I walked a couple of times and it took me an hour. Taxi takes 10 minutes to the station but cost 15 euros each way. I used the AAA taxi via uber, it was recommended by the hotel, they are not reliable. Twice out of 3 times, they were 5 minutes away, accepted the journey and 10 minutes later you receive a message that says that they just picked up someone else and will come to you 25 minutes later and the lady on the radio spoke to my taxi men saying that the next person was a local and to do the local price… while I had to pay 2 or 3 times more… do not use them. Apart from that I highly recommend this hotel. It was spotless clean, beautiful with a nice atmosphere and a wood fire burning in the chimney. They also have vending machines, restock to the water, coffee and tea in the rooms everyday and have a couple of restaurants. Ah and one more thing, I ordered 2 take away, both times they received it at reception and gave me a call, very nice of them. Worth more than 4 stars

The front desk staff was kind and helpful. The pool was an excellent temperature and there were many options at the pool. The location was great as it was centrally located between many places we wanted to visit. We enjoyed our time here.

A great place to spend a few days which is near to Shannon airport. My room was very comfortable and warm despite the horizontal rain and storm like conditions outside. Obviously, December in Ireland is somewhere a lot different than say Cancun in Mexico. The weather can be real rough in Ireland. At that time of year though most folks are tied up with the whole Christmas hype and just get on with it. They had a blazing fire in the lobby. The breakfast buffet is top class. Each morning I got stuck into the fried mushrooms, the scrambled eggs and of course Irish white pudding. That'll get you going.

The Reception area/lounge had a fire going and was while very spacious, also very cosy and inviting. As we were checking in, the owner personally introduced himself, greeting us, shaking both my 14 year old daughter's and my hand. We had a little chat, and I thought that was a lovely touch.

Liked everything but somewhere along the line the breakfast disappeared from my booking and was not included when I booked breakfast as part of the room, I checked this was the case and in fact the room would have been less when I booked it if breakfast was not included. I recommended the same room to a friend and encouraged her to book it with breakfast with the idea we would do breakfast together. My friend when she booked because she booked last minute and paid straightaway she had breakfast included I didn’t! Staff claimed it was because it was booked directly with them when I showed them that was not the case because it was booked on her behalf, and would they agree to giving me breakfast because I would have paid less for the room otherwise they said no and I had to pay for me and two kids! The booking stated they would take the pay two days before but didn’t. Apart from this the hotel was beautiful and we enjoyed the stay!
