The K Club

I stayed at the Kclub as I was attending a Wonderful event they hosted with good food Ireland. The hotel and grounds are magical. The rooms are amazing and the most comfortable bed and pillows you could dream of. The staff are so genuinely friendly and warm and the food at the event was fantastic. Our breakfast server I think his name was Joe was so lovely and a credit to the hotel. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We returned to the K Club after about a dozen years since we loved it last time. We weren’t disappointed. A lovely hotel and great golf complex with the two course. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the famous Palmer North course. Our river view room was terrific…it was in the new part of the hotel, added since we were last here. Nice large bathroom with both nice tub and walk-in shower; double sinks. Great bathroom; nice view of the river. The public rooms are beautiful with the long elegant hallways. Beautiful landscapes. The Barton was excellent. Three course meal, but one is the amuse bouche, so really just two courses. Excellent foie gras and Roscommon lamb. This is a very special place for wine aficiandos due to its Barton family heritage. The Bartons, of Bordeaux fame, owned this estate for five generations, selling only in 1949 to concentrate on their Bordeaux businesses in the aftermath of WWII. What’s great is that the hotel has kept its connections with the Barton family, including some very special Barton wines available at the hotel bar and restaurants, which are collaborated on with Lisa, the Assistant Manager and Sommelier, who is fully involved in the history of that affinity, and travels to the winery in Bordeaux frequently to assist in the blending of the wines for the K Club. She gave us a tour of the wine cellar which was a great experience. The Staff is wonderful to a person. There are 6 km of walking trails which run by the river and up into the South golf course. There is also a history of here with Ian Fleming who wrote several of his books while staying here. The South restaurant was very good with a nice range of more casual options like excellent chicken wings and spare ribs. The Palmer restaurant was also a nice choice for lunch with its excellent soup and more chicken wings. The Blue Martini Bar is a really nice classic bar with friendly bartenders who know their stuff, like John. The included breakfast was excellent as well with nice buffet options, or a nice range of specially prepared dishes like full or part Irish Breakfast, porridge, eggs Benedicyt, scrambled eggs with excellent Irish smoked salmon. We were there for four nights which we thought was the perfect time to spend there. Only about an hour from Dublin. Not much to do outside the resort, but good things to do within it! If you love golf, you will expecially love it! Highlly recommend!

Exceptional experience includes warm welcome from all staff at this beautiful oasis with stunning grounds, art and golf facilities along the River Liffey. Start with the best rest in the plushest bedding in large suites. Savor the freshest breakfast of the most variety with most pleasant host Joe seating you in the stunning Barton room to overlook the gorgeous back garden. Enjoy in-house dining, or complimentary shuttle to Straffan pub or Palmer restaurant. Walk the Ktrails to experience the estate from a new perspective. You will find this stay unforgettable in Co. Kildare.

The K Club is a beautiful property with scenic views of its lush gardens, complemented by impressive paintings and sculptures throughout. The reception staff and doorman are warm and personable, offering a great first impression. The F&B options are somewhat limited and a bit more energy and enthusiasm from the waiting staff would up the tone of the overall dining experience. On the positive side, the walking trails are lovely, offering a peaceful way to explore the grounds. Overall, it’s a charming stay, though the dining experience leaves room for improvement.

To All the Team at The K Club, Thank you all for the truly wonderful experience during our recent stay at your hotel. From the warm welcome upon arrival to the moment we left, everything was absolutely amazing. The friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail throughout our stay was hospitality at its finest. Every member of your team contributed to making our visit extremely memorable, but we’d like to give a special thank you to Cesar, the Guest Relations Manager, Nicolas at the Front Office, Patrick the Concierge, Gary the Executive Head Chef, Lisa the Chief Sommelier, and Paul the General Manager. Their exceptional professionalism, friendliness and care truly impressed us. Our room and the hotel facilities were perfect, but what made the stay truly magical was how the beautiful surroundings and your outstanding team came together to deliver the ideal hospitality experience. A heartfelt thank you to all of you. Mark & Dee Staples.
