Culinary Delight

“I dined at the Garden Room and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of food. The starters of tartar and prawns were excellent, and although the poached salmon was a tad undercooked for my liking, the overall culinary experience was still very enjoyable. We also visited the No 23 Bar for a nightcap where I discovered the Yellow Spot whiskey, so excellent that I bought a bottle on my way home!” view full review

Luxury Spa Experience

“The spa facilities at the Merrion were really good! I enjoyed the wonderful indoor pool which was just the right temperature, providing a luxurious experience. It felt as though I was swimming in a smooth body oil rather than heavy chlorine. Additionally, the changing rooms were fantastic, including fresh robes and slippers for each visit.” view full review

Exquisite Room Amenities

“My stay was made even more special with the thoughtful room features. I greatly appreciated the little touches such as a coffee machine, ice bucket filled while we were out, and replenished bottles of water. The comfortable chairs in the room provided a perfect spot for enjoying a morning cup of tea.” view full review

Elegant Bathroom Retreat

“One highlight of my stay was the luxurious marble bathroom, always super clean. It was spacious and equipped with all the amenities I could need, making it a fantastic retreat to enjoy a long, relaxing soak after a day of exploring. This attention to detail added a significant layer of comfort to the overall experience.” view full review
