Corick House Hotel & Spa

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff. Set out of the way its perfect for a relaxing stay.

We recently stayed at Corrick House and had a mixed experience overall. On arrival, the reception staff were very helpful and welcoming. However, when we got to our room, we realised we had been given a double instead of the twin room we had booked. I rang reception and, to be fair, this was dealt with quickly as they arranged access to the room next door. Unfortunately, the rooms themselves were quite disappointing. They felt very outdated, with noticeably worn and damaged furniture. There were cobwebs on the ceiling, the floor didn’t appear to have been properly hoovered, and some of the wallpaper was peeling away from the walls. It didn’t feel as clean or well-maintained as expected. We then went to the bar and ordered French Martinis, which were lovely. However, the service was lacking — staff did not circulate around the bar area, and even though it was quiet, we had to go up to the bar each time to order. Dinner was a highlight of the stay. The food was very good, particularly the fillet steaks which we both really enjoyed. We ordered two glasses of wine, and my mum asked to change hers after tasting it as she didn’t like it. The barman seemed unsure and called over a manager, who said we would be charged for the replacement. That wasn’t an issue for us, but the tone used was not very pleasant, which made the interaction uncomfortable. The wine selection could definitely be improved — both the original and replacement wines were quite disappointing, especially for a Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, as they were much drier than expected. Overall, while there were some positives, particularly the food and initial reception service, the condition of the rooms and aspects of the service would need significant improvement for us to return.

Well what can I say… We viewed quite a few wedding venues for our wedding that was in June past. Our viewings mainly consisted of us walking in last minute and asking if there was anyone available or could show us around for a potential wedding. The corick House and one other location was the only hotels to take time for us, regardless of weather or not the person appointed to wedding was available or not. The corick instantly won our approval with their beautiful gardens. From booking the wedding right up to the day of our wedding, Orlagh was unreal and very accommodating, nothing was too much and I most definitely did her head in the few weeks before; from last minute drink choose changes to tables plans. On the day of or wedding, we were handed over to Alex who clearly knew every detail of our wedding run down from Orlagh. Nothing again, was ever too much. To drinks and intros, making sure everything ran smoothly, this woman definitely knows what she’s doing. The venue itself is utterly delightful. We had turkey ham and beef as our mains for a “silver service”, the vulavont was delicious and everyone was even offered seconds on the soup and the dinner itself. Since our wedding, everyone can commented on how delicious the food was and how accommodating the staff were. Some adults wanted chicken for dinner or even wanting to eat from the kids menus instead, it was absolutely no hassle. The bridal suite was Victorian, old but modern and absolutely delightful. We even received some bubbly, and a coaster! Hands down, The Corick House held an absolutely spectacular wedding for us and there’s honestly not one bad thing I could say! Absolutely delightful, 10/10 and more! We will most definitely return

We had driven past the sign for Corick House many times over the years. When we decided to get married, it was the first and only venue we went to see. Within a few seconds of walking in, the cosy and welcoming atmosphere was evident. Then we met Orlagh, the wedding coordinator, and we knew we had come to the right place. As a mature couple, we wanted a small and intimate gathering of family and close friends. I had very definite ideas of how the day should look, welcoming, relaxed and with the best of food and Orlagh listened to and interpreted my ideas beautifully, adding touches I hadn't thought of to make it even better. We checked in to our beautiful Suite on the evening before the wedding as the ceremony and reception was being held in the hotel. The morning of the wedding brought welcome extra touches like a mimosa with my breakfast and then Orlagh and Alex walking me and my flower girls walking down to the ceremony room and looking after all four. . of us so very well The rest of the day was curated beautifully thanks to the professionalism of these two ladies and the rest of the team at Corick House. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Carmel amd Nigel Scott

I am extremely disappointed with my experience. I had booked and key word, PRE-PAID to go for afternoon tea at Corrick House for my birthday. I went to the desk with my booking confirmation, and what appeared to be the manager (who had awful manners and a slight American sounding accent) was extremely rude and adamant that I had not booked anything. She was extremely dismissive and condescending towards me, which I am suspicious was to do with my age (I look quite young, it was my 21st birthday). Because I remained adamant, however, she eventually agreed to have a further look at the issue and told us to sit on a sofa. Maybe around 10 minutes later, she came over. But she was not looking at me when she was explaining the issue, only looking at my older sisters and mother, despite the fact that I was the one who had made the booking, and was the one talking to her beforehand (again, I think this was because of my age but that is just a suspicion). She only started looking at me when I leaned towards her and started starring her out. Apparently the staff member that was putting my booking through the system had not put it through the system properly. She then offered us lunch instead. But the way she spoke was out of order. I’ve worked in hospitality myself for over a year, and that is not how you speak to customers, especially when they have already paid to be at your establishment. No excuses, no matter how busy it is or how young I look. Very disappointing.

After reading mixed reviews I wondered what experience we would have.  Here is my review. We were stayed mid March as my niece was getting married. Staff. Very helpful and polite. Car park. Plenty of spaces in large car park. Hotel grounds.  Pretty little walk and a walled garden but not particularly large. Reception.  It is undergoing a refurb so we had a diversion to Reception. Easy book in and the staff were lovely. Room. We had room 226 which is on ground floor but furthest one away. Not a problem for us.  The room was large, spacious, clean and very comfortable.  Ensuite was large and clean. Also had a bath and a walk-in shower. Restaurant. Evening dinner.  My husband had a fillet steak and it was cooked absolutely perfectly. I had seafood pasta 10/10. Both delicious. Breakfast was in the restaurant and was a buffet. Plenty of choice. Wedding. It was so well organised and the staff were great. The wedding went off without a hitch we had all had a fabulous time. The food served was plentiful and delicious.  Would I stay again. 100% I would. Loved it.

Very disappointed with the afternoon tea. Two sandwiches coronation chicken with barely any chicken and a very unappealing smoked salmon. We waited half an hour after our booked time for our food, tea and coffee being brought out 15 minutes too soon. We had a dirty cup, and issues over timing menu ordered items alongside the afternoon tea for others in the group. They had eaten the menu ordered meal before our afternoon tea was even brought out even though it was ordered to be delivered at the same time and told the food was on the way when their meals were served ! I came home still hungry, scones and cream was the highlight and even these were small. The sweet treats were bland, tiny and really a let down. The staff were over worked as a wedding was also on. Would not return or recommend for afternoon tea.

My wife and I called in here on a Saturday evening for a bite to eat and a drink, on our way home. Got a bar menu from the main bar and took a seat at a table in the nice outside patio area. After about 15 minutes, when no bar staff had approached us, I went back to the bar, where there was a cluster of 3-4 bar staff standing. I asked to order 2 small bottles of wine. One of the barman, or barboys, as they were mostly quite young, told me they only sold wine by the glass. Thought that was strange, as I had recently attended an event at the hotel and bought small bottles of wine on that occasion. OK, I let that go and tried to order our food of the menu. Choose 3 items of their small plate selection. The the barman studiously entered our items into his computer terminal. Just when he'd finished, an older barman, standing beside his colleague, turned round and told me that they weren't doing that menu tonight! Why did they give me that menu then? What a comedy of errors! We cut our losses and went on to another location, where the staff knew what they were doing!

Unfortunately the afternoon tea did not hit the highs we had hoped for this time. Having been in the past the experience and quality has significantly gone down hill Firstly they used to present a lovely tea chest with different tea types to the table for you to choose which one you would like to try. This is no longer the case just a menu on the table with a very limited range of bog standard teas. The tea is not even leaf tea just a tea bag dumped in a pot of water not the most elegant choice for afternoon tea. My cup was filthy and I had to ask for it to be changed. The sandwiches packed any imagination and honestly coronation chicken has had its day it is okay for a finger buffet but not afternoon tea. The smoked salmon and egg and cress were just as underwhelming. There are so many delicious flavour combinations you could use for sandwiches these are basic and unappealing. The scones were nice as was the cream but the butter was rock hard and was difficult to spread. The sweet selection did not hit the mark rather stale and uninspiring the lemon cake contained no lemon just a tiny blob of lemon verbena cream on top. The rhubarb and custard shot had absolutely no flavour once you got past the rhubarb topping and the custard had a bland unpleasant consistency. There was absolutely no hint of wild flower or lavender in the meringue and macaroons all had the bottom glaze missing . Only thing I can say is it is not an expensive afternoon tea so I suppose you get what you pay for. We actually had to get up and go to the bar to order more drinks despite staff being present they never came over to see if there was anything we needed. There was a gentleman who greeted us and he did come over once to see if everything was okay but after that we were not asked again. Unfortunately it falls below the standard one would expect for afternoon tea. If you are just looking something cheap and cheerful and service and quality does not matter this would be ok.
