Lovely stay, we were upgraded to a larger room at no extra cost as it was a quiet time of year! Very kind of them to do this. Beautiful grounds with many lovely walks nearby. Unfortunately we came early in the week and the hotel restaurant was closed until the weekend so unable to comment on the food. But a very clean comfortable stay in a wonderful little town!
Be sure to stop by Bowes for lunch and Bob’s for a pint. Fifty Seven is also a lovely local shop with some elegant women’s fashion! And Durrow Castle was just across the way, it was free to roam around the garden and explore the grounds. You will not regret a visit to Durrow!

Lovely heritage town, well kept with some nice eateries and pubs. Some nice walks to be had. Our stay wasn’t long enough to see everything so we will be back again. We had excellent coffee and scones in the Gallic Kitchen. Next time we look forward to sampling lunches
Beautiful large house, perfect for a group get together in the lovely town of Abbeyleix. Everything is provided for in the house, beds are super comfy, lots of hot water, warm and cosy rooms, open fire, great cooking facilities. Abbeyleix has a delious bakery, very welcoming bars, plenty of food choice and a glorious bog walk. Ross tye host is very welcoming and happy to help with any request. We loved it and will be back.
The rooms are clean, beautiful, comfortable and well designed. The owners of Blackhill Woods are super welcoming and you feel right at home immediately! The gardens are the perfect place to sit and read a book, and the local town of Abbeyleix is only a 5 minute drive away. Breakfast is served to your room, with fresh fruit and gorgeous bread and yoghurt. I would highly recommend Blackhill to anyone.
The staff at the front desk were wonderful. We had a hiccup with the B & B that we had booked, and booked the last 2 rooms at your hotel, and were tired and frustrated when we arrived. The front desk agent (sorry cannot remember her name) was helpful, and when we came back down to ask for fans, she went looking for them herself, and delivered them to our rooms.
It's quite the experience! The old building, which use to be a school if I remember the hosts decscription correctly, has big old-style rooma and windows, a wonderful communal kitchen with everything you need for breakfast and more (even though it's more like a hotel) and beautiful dramatic dinner / tea rooms where you get to meet the other guests.
nice night away just prior to x mas
food lovely and desserts too compliments to Chloe who does the desserts.
bar staff waiting staff OK but maybe bit more interaction with customers as a recommendation...
cosy warm reception area and ideal from a night away with local bars near by also
Loved staying at Preston House. Preston House for me was the perfect refugee only a few blocks away from the beautiful center of Abbeyleix. Ross is an exceptional host, making his guests feel welcome
and at home. The building is stunning.
This is a gorgeous location and the bed, surroundings, and the proprietor are all incredibly inviting and very comfortable and relaxing! This may be the best place I've stayed in all of Ireland and certainly through Booking.com.
It was a very comfortable hotel. The staff were very good, especially Sheila at breakfast.
She went out of her way to make sure our requests were met. Sheila herself would be a reason I would return to Abbeyleix Manor Hotel.
This hotel is a beautiful and quiet place surrounded by nature. The staff member that greeted us was very friendly. The room was very clean, and I loved the healthy breakfast. I woke up feeling refreshed after the stay.
The hotel was useful as it was near our family. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The ongoing renovations were kind of a put off (painting in front entry) but the stay was suitable.
Location was great and it was so quiet in the woods- loved it . Breakfast was also brought to the room so it was a winner not having to go to ‘ a hotel restaurant’ type of thing. It was peaceful
Lovely House in a beautiful quiet location but just down the road from Abbeyleix which has amazing places to eat. Only a short stay but definitely recommend. Simon was a lovely host also. 🙏🏼
Food was of a very high standard for a 3-star hotel and the housekeeping was exceptional. Room was of generous proportions, although very quiet despite overlooking a very busy road.
Beautiful house, ideal for a night in abbeyleix. Bramley and Morrissey's are a must visit also.
Ross is a great host and laid everything out very well for us. Will return
