October 2016: Ireland’s Blue book is delighted to announce that Newforge House, Rathsallagh House, Currarevagh House, Enniscoe House, Castle Leslie Estate, Marlfield House, and Gregans Castle Hotel were included among the Editor’s Choice of Hotels in the 2017 Good Hotel Guide.
The Guide has over 400 main entries featuring hotels that are considered to be the best of their type in Great Britain and Ireland. Each year, the much-coveted Editor’s Choice section of the guide highlights the top 10 hotels in 16 designated categories.
Editor’s Choice 2017
Romantic Hotel Category – Newforge House, Co. Armagh
Wedding Hotel Category – Gregans Castle Hotel, Co. Clare
Historic Hotel Category - Castle Leslie Estate, Co. Monaghan & Currarevagh House, Co. Galway
Fishing Hotel Category – Enniscoe House, Co. Mayo & Currarevagh House, Co. Galway
Golf Hotel Category – Rathsallagh House, Co. Wicklow
Country House Category – Marlfield House, Co. Wexford
Hotels are chosen solely on merit and the entries are rewritten each year. Readers’ reports are painstakingly scrutinised, and reports from inspectors are based on anonymous visits, the cost of which are borne by the Guide, so reviews are never swayed by special treatment.
About Good Hotel Guide
The Good Hotel Guide is the leading independent guide to hotels in Great Britain and Ireland. It is written for the reader seeking impartial advice on finding a good place to stay. Hotels cannot buy their entry as they do in most rival guides. No money changes hands, and the editors and inspectors do not accept free hospitality on their anonymous visits to hotels.
