Couple & dog had a recent great stay in Preston House. The spacious accommodation in historic Preston House suited us & our dog very well. We enjoyed having the use of the kitchen & brought food in to cook when there was nowhere dog friendly open nearby. We had a spacious ensuite bedroom on the 2nd floor, a bit of a climb but fine. The housekeeper does a brilliant job & Ross the owner is helpful & available to sort out any issues. We lit the fire in a cosy sitting room & spent two relaxing evenings in front of it! We would definately rebook.

The hosts were very welcoming. It was spotlessly clean and we were provided with drinks, breakfast and could even cook our own food.

The property had everything we needed as a family of four. The pool is a great addition to keep the children occupied for some time.
The room was large & comfortable. The bathroom for a family of 4 was slightly small but it wasn’t much of an issue for us. Parking on site was perfect with plenty of meal options around if you wanted to opt out of eating in the hotel. Breakfast was perfect & had pancakes too which was a bonus for the children!

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
Location good. Breakfast was not a good experience. Left waiting 10 minutes after giving order while others wh came into breakfast room after us got served up breakfast before us . Had to ask for tea and toast. No pastries, just cereal and small cartons of juice that were just put on table in middle of room without even been taken out of boxed packaging. Breakfast nothing special, in fact it was probably the poorest breakfast I have had in a hotel in a long time.
Beautifully restored 300-year House full of history in the main street of Abbeyleix. A warm welcome from Ross and advice on where to go in the town for food. Our bedroom on the top floor was superb, full of old-world charm. The whole house is a walk back in time. Full kitchen available, and as there are only 5 rooms, it feels like you have the whole house to yourself. Can't wait to stay again.
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.
Blackhill Woods is situated in a wooded site a few minutes from the lovely town of Abbeyleix. The wooded area is organic .... carefully maintained without disturbing the natural growth very much. Yoga classes take place daily.
Breakfast served to the room is delicious. Simon is a wonderful host, welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable but in no way intrusive.
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.
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. 🙏🏼
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
