If I am honest I found my stay at Carden Park rather underwhelming. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful throughout. The room was a disappointment - very beige, brown, masculine. Bed was very comfortable, with the exception of the pillows. Bathroom was not as luxurious as expected and the shower was a bit feeble. Lunch menu was very limited and expensive for what it was. Carpet in the bar area needed cleaning under the table ( as did the carpet on corridor leading to bedroom). Function meal was rather disappointing with the dessert being inedible ( tough pastry on banoffee pie, no flavour and covered in squirt cream reminiscent of shaving foam). The wine was good. Coffee served after the meal was undrinkable- strong, stewed and bitter. Breakfast was also disappointing. Hot buffet items were cold. Tea wasn’t brewed individually so again was stewed. Poor selection of fruits and cheeses for the Continental Breakfast. Pastries were fine. espresso coffee wasn’t good either and was served in a huge cup. Would I stay again? Probably not unless I was attending a function. Definitely overpriced for a room and was not the luxury experience I was expecting. I didn’t have time to try the spa which I gather has had a lot of money spent on it.
