Perfect scoring conditions. The staff is super friendly and the restaurant upstairs is first class. The nines are all wonderful. The yellow nine (not part of the Championship Course) is fun. Shorter than the red and blue but still challenging with fescue and gorse lying in wait for offline shots. The signature 15th hole is so difficult even without wind. Beautiful, challenging, and fun. €193 gets you all 27 holes, €10 meal credit, and a yardage book. 10/10, would go broke here again. P.S. I shot a 77!

There are two golf links courses in Portmarnock. This is the older one (1894). Some bigger…read moretournaments have been played here including the Irish open. The course is beautiful to be sure- rolling hills and wetlands tied to the backdrop of palms and the sea- its really pretty remarkable. If you are not familiar with these types of courses (I was not) its easy to be fooled by the beauty because the course was tough-really tough! We had a caddy (no carts allowed) who shared a lot of great local history and stories of some of the pros that have played the course. Besides posting a score that most MLB pitchers fastballs can't reach, this was a great morning. The people were nice, the setting was amazing and the course was challenging. You get a lunch with your greens fees. For me it was a once in a lifetime type of course but walking the fairways, looking at the sea, and having a good laugh made this a very memorable course and experience.

Nice hotel next to a golf course. The staff was very nice but no Pajamas allowed at breakfast…read more Breakfast was basic buffet style but the pancake machine was cool. Afternoon tea had great scones but the desserts were more pretty than tasty. They mostly serve English Breakfast in tea bags so I wouldn't come here for actual tea quality. Great bang for your buck though. Dinner was nice and very fast if you eat at 6pm. Interior design was very nice with the big open windows. Rooms were comfortable but no AC so crack open your windows.

Having a pre-drink before joining the wedding party up in the manor house, the bar staff were very friendly and on ordering a class of champagne they were going to go up to the manor house to get strawberries, nice touch and showed they were willing to go over and beyond. I had been here a few years ago and this place didn't really impress however I'm glad to say my opinion has changed, they day was very well laid on, staff were friendly and attentive. The room we stayed in was very spacious and had a great view of the golf course plus across to the manor house. Feels like this place had a spring clean since I last visited and it's well worth it. Ordered room service for breakfast, even though we placed order after the cut off they were happy to accommodate us and arrived with a great spread of food. Checking out was also quick and painless, great priced for a stay and as a wedding guest, I truly enjoyed my day at Tulfarris

I am writing regarding the profoundly disappointing service and substandard room conditions I…read moreexperienced after checking in today, May 30, 2026. As a Marriott Lifetime Platinum Elite member from the United States, I am accustomed to a high standard of hospitality, and the sequence of events that unfolded this evening at the Carton House Hotel Ireland property is entirely unacceptable. Upon my arrival this afternoon, I immediately notified the front desk that the air conditioning in my room was malfunctioning. I was instructed to set the temperature to cold and wait two hours for the system to adjust. Trusting this guidance, I left the room for dinner. Note: No offer to change rooms. When I returned, I found the room hot, stuffy, and entirely uncomfortable. I contacted the front desk a second time, only to be informed that no engineering staff was on the premises. Again, no offer to change my room. The immediate solution offered was a portable fan. The situation deteriorated further when housekeeping arrived to deliver the fan. The attendant informed me that the control unit for the fan belonged to him personally and could not be left in my possession. They entered my room, adjusted the fan to my requested setting, and departed with the remote control, leaving me with no ability to regulate the fan speed or temperature during the night. No offer to move me to a different room with air. To compound these operational failures, it took over full two hours--and forced interactions with four different staff members--before a manager finally contacted me to inquire about the issue. Having to catch a taxi to airport at 4:30 AM, this entire experience has been an exhausting fiasco. The complete lack of customer service, proactive problem-solving, the absence of maintenance personnel on a weekend evening, and the highly unprofessional handling of a basic comfort request are beneath the standards the Fairmont brand commands. Due to the severe discomfort and the substandard handling of this matter, I expect a prompt explanation regarding how this occurred and an appropriate resolution to address this failure in customer service. The manager offered to discount my family's rooms - that's good but not the point. Fairmont Corporate needs to review their standards handling patrons at the Carton House Hotel ((Ireland) I look forward to a swift response from Fairmont Corporate.
