We were last here in early January, as part of my slow recovery from serious illness in late 2023, and having progressed a bit health-wise since then, we couldn't resist coming back again this April. As ever, Renvyle House has a long list of seductive features : start with its stunning location & its range of facilities, move-on to its comfortable Rooms & Public Areas, and savour the mouth-watering quality of its Food Offering. Above all, appreciate - as we do - the competence, attentiveness + (especially) the warmth of the regular Staff : renewed thanks to the outstanding General Manager, Anne Marie, the equally wonderful Front-Office Manager, Sabina, her cheerful colleague Róisín, the low-key, extremely hard-working Housekeeping Supervisor, Majella, the conscientious Restaurant Manager, Tomás, the very clued-in Bar Supervisor Tommy and others besides. Two Health & Safety related issues worth mentioning, both reflecting the absolute commitment of this Hotel to the care of its Guests. For part of our most recent stay, there were severe wind/gale warnings from Met Éireann, and Renvyle intermittently operated its own Generator. The other issue has more sinister origins. Apparently, a recent (distinctively-accented) Guest Couple strongly objected to the Hotel's display of the Flag of the RNLI (the Lifeboat Institute, which has saved so many lives on Ireland's coasts) because of the word "Royal" in their title, and sadly, the Hotel felt impelled to cease to display this Flag, out of fear for the future safety of the Hotel & its Guests : Go bhfóire Dia orainn - have we not grown-up yet ? Oh, and YES : we've booked yet another stay @ Renvyle for late May....
