Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Farnham Estate Spa And Golf Resort from previous guests about their experience
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Farnham Estate is often described as beautiful, with amazing walking trails around the property, and some guests were upgraded to a beautiful suite in the original Manor House. Rooms are generally considered spacious, with large TVs, and some include both a walk-in shower and a bath. The spa is a highlight, especially the indoor/outdoor pool, though some found the spa pool to be freezing, and the adults-only Water Mint Thermal Suite is a place of rest, relaxation and renewal with spacious facilities like the hydrotherapy pool with massage jets. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and hot, and there are often faultless vegetarian options, and the estate is only an 8-minute drive to Cavan.

The hotel grounds are lovely. i enjoyed many relaxing walks there. the rooms have a very nice design, are well equipped, and clean. The spa offers an very nice experience, and the swimming pool has both indoor and outdoor sections, each wonderfully warm!
The bar opening hours were a little inconvenient as they did not open until 6 pm. This made planning our evenings a bit tricky.
