Stayed Here Last Weekend while attending a Wedding in Tyrrellspass! Arrived Friday Night into a warm cosy Lodge! The Lodge itself is Self Catering with 2 Bedrooms, Kitchen, Living Room and Bathroom, Lots of space for myself and my missus but honestly could've catered for up to 4 or 6 People easy! Beds were nice and comfy and warm water 24/7. The lodges is surrounded by the Golf Course and are located next to the Main House which houses the Clubhouse and Restaurant! While we didn't get to sample the Lunch or Dinner we did order Breakfast baps the morning after the wedding which were really tasty and a nice way to start the day after a night on the tiles. One thing that can't go overlooked though is the staff at this place! The Day of the wedding myself and my partner had our Taxi to Tyrrellspass cancel on us last minute leaving us stranded with no way to town. Not A Problem, the General Manager Jimmy had one of the Servers Aimee Drop us into town on time for a great day! Thank You both! A Fabulous Spot! Definitely a Place I'll be Returning to golf someday!

Excellent Accommodation self-catering lodges
Reviewed 4 february, 2023
Stayed for 2 nights in the self-catering lodges for New years. Our apartment had 2 bedrooms, big and spacious living room/kitchen and a patio, which was perfect for our dog. We dined in the restaurant in the main house and food and service were very good. Loved the estate, lovely walks around the golf course and good base in general to explore the surrounding areas. Would happily go back for another peaceful weekend.

A special relaxing country estate with sublime service
Reviewed 17 november, 2022
This is our third stay at New Forest. We always enjoy our stay there but felt compelled after this stay to write a review. We travel as a mature couple with our well behaved Labrador a lot but New Forest reminds us what excellent service is really like. For this trip we stayed for 2 nights in Lodge no 9. Check in was very easy, the heating was on so it was warm cosy & extremely clean when we arrived. Kitchen has all u need including complementary tea, coffee, sugar and milk. The living room is comfy & looks out over the golf course. We ate breakfast (tasty baps) which is available until noon each day and had dinner one evening. Food is high quality and the staff are well trained and friendly. My partner played golf and rates the course highly. There are plenty of places to walk your dog on a lead and the GM loves dogs. So much to do close by we ate one night in Browns in Tyrell’s Pass and had a lovely visit to the local pub Gonouds which has a cosy fire in winter. We left feeling relaxed and if you compare prices with other big name country estates New Forest is great value and very relaxed. The place is an absolute credit to James the GM and his team, who all live locally so have a great passion for the quality of experience guests have. As we left they were preparing for a big wedding the next day and the care & attention they were all putting into the prep was so obvious. .

Stayed 3 nights at the lodges/apartments
Reviewed 18 august, 2020
Stayed in lodge No.7 for 3 nights (16th-19th)... First of all I’d like to highlight that when we arrived absolutely no information was given to us when checking-in in relation to meal times of the restaurant, contact numbers,local attractions/ shops destinations or the usual stuff that gets told to you when you check-in somewhere. It is so important that this should be made available to make guests feel welcomed to any property. When we were escorted to the lodge the first impressions of the lodge was okay we were a bit surprised at the amount of space the lodge offered. Then we started noticing things after an hour or so of settling in such as practically no WiFi (which is stated is available throughout) or a signal that at most held for 10 seconds then drops completely away leaving you with nothing (no cellular signal either by the way). Next thing we noticed was when one of our party went to use the bathroom and was greeted by a god awful non-mistakable sewage smell coming from the downstairs bathroom which quickly expanded throughout the lodge & left us running for sprays. Of course this was relayed to the reception immediately via Facebook messenger as there were no telephones, the message was read but we received no reply so we decided to physically go to reception and relay this & We were promised a WiFi booster and did receive this the following day after having to chase it up as I had previously expressed WiFi was essential due to work commitments. We also re-highlighted the sewage smell of the downstairs bathroom to the polite young man who brought us the WiFi booster whom said he’d pass it on about the sewage smell. Next thing we started noticing was the cleanliness of the place it was just average and could of been cleaner in our eyes considering the price of the place ie grease stains wiped off cooker hood light & the surrounding cupboards, marks of dirt around doors & handles, dust & cobwebs behind tv and cobwebs from the side of kitchen cupboards. The sofas that were in the property were a bit worst for wear as well the leather sofas springs were near popping out and sank in the middle as for the cloth sofa which should of never been in a pet friendly accommodation smelt real bad, we had to spray it a few times to try and disguise the bad smells coming from it (which we had to go out and purchase). We also had to literally fight with the refrigerator door to keep it closed as it kept opening by itself. As for the upstairs area we never found a problem except for 2 minor things the dirt marks around door handles of the doors and there could of been more of an effort made to remove limescale marks around the seams of the shower doors. The beds were comfy, firm & also clean. Also a tip for the cleaners of the lodges it would be nice to leave a few extra bin liners so the bins can be emptied more regularly as stated on the notice on the wall. I was actually quite surprised to find these faults after reading such good reviews which is what attracted me to this place but I believe it’s better for the proprietors to have knowledge of these things to improve their service. The only resolution we received was the WiFi booster heard nothing back about the sewage smell.

Girlie Weekend
Reviewed 28 july, 2020
Myself and 2 friends just wanted to get away for the weekend & have a catch up . We stayed in the Superior Apartment and it was amazing . 3 stories and so clean . From check in till check out the staff couldn’t do enough for us . The restaurant food it divine and we all enjoyed our meal . Obviously with covid we booked it and could only stay the 90moms but that was fine we went back to our apartment and spent the night there . It’s not walking distance to anywhere else but Athlone is only 30mins or so away so we went there the next day . They have a driving range so kids might live that but otherwise not much more to do for them. I think it would suit couples or small groups best.
