“ Sinead, I am writing in relation to the function we held last Thursday 4th March. On behalf of the Parents Association I would like to put on record our sincere gratitude for the wonderful night we had. Organising a function is never easy but the assistance, advice and superb customer service of the entire staff made everything work like clockwork. The manner is which the room was laid out and the fact that our last minute requests were met immediately and with a smile made the night enjoyable not only for the 170 women who attended but for the committee as well. The meal was beautiful, the waitressing staff friendly and efficient so please pass a special word of thanks to the chef and his staff. We are constantly being told that Irish business 'don't do' customer service - it’s nice to know that Maryborough Hotel can prove them wrong. Many many thanks to all the staff and in particular to Sinead and Sean who made my job so easy and were a pleasure to deal with. ”

“ Sincere thanks for another successful SkillVEC graduation in Maryborough House Hotel!

The hotel looked fantastic on Saturday; we really appreciated the early set-up of the Sherrard suite in the morning.

Graduates, guests and speakers were very impressed with the layout of the hotel and were extremely complimentary about the food served on the day. I would like to thank you for your advice and support coming up to the graduation and would like to also offer special thanks to the duty manager – sean – who looked after all our requests on Saturday. Also, Elaine in the restaurant was very helpful and looked after us all so well on the day.

All staff were very helpful and my colleagues notes how professional and friendly the receptionists were on Saturday.

It was a great day Sinead, we and the graduates are grateful for all the hard work and assistance on the day. Please pass on out thanks to all involved.

Looking forward to working with you again next year! ”

“ Every spring, I organise an annual corporate lunch in aid of the RNLI service. Before embarking on my first event some years ago, I made enquiries with a number of hotels; but the Maryborough soon became the obvious choice. Mary’s and her team are flexible, accommodating and resourceful. Any time I have a concern, there is always a helpful suggestion and a word of reassurance. The grounds and the facilities are second to none. The catering, even for the largest of crowds, is impeccable, as indeed is the service and value for money. Nothing is too much trouble. I certainly don’t anticipate I will be taking my event anywhere else! ”

The facilities within the hotel cater for my every need whether it’s booking a conference room, hotel accommodation or massage and physical recovery sessions for my referees. The staff offers the friendliness and professionalism that the hotel is renowned and accustomed for.

The Leisure & Spa facilities are first class. The exceptionally professional staff are meticulous in their preparation and planning be it for recovery massage in the Spa or work out recovery in the Gym or Pool. ”

“ Being in Cork on business on a weekly/fortnightly basis, I have stayed in most, if not all of the hotels since 2001. In my opinion MHH exceeds all when taking into account the excellent amenities, first rate quality of service and overall value for money. With good proximity to restaurants and bars, the hotel is located in the affluent village of Douglas, only a few miles from the airport and City centre. Whether business or leisure pursuits, I would recommend this hotel for anyone staying to Cork – 10/10! ”

“ Nash Wines have been trading with The Maryborough Hotel & Spa for several years. We have always had an excellent working relationship with the hotel and with the individual members of their team. The Maryborough Hotel team have always adopted a pro-active approach and are consistently one of our locations to conduct meetings, wine tastings and accommodate our international suppliers. From a personal perspective, I had the pleasure of using the hotel as my wedding venue. The entire process from planning through to the actual day was excellent. It should be further noted, that a number of our guests on the day were so impressed with the hotel property, facilities and the personal touch of the staff on the day, that they also held their weddings at the hotel. I would have no hesitation in fully endorsing the hotel and would highly recommend The Maryborough Hotel & Spa to both the business and private consumer. ”

“ Over the last seven years, St Laurence Cheshire Home has held all their fundraising functions at Maryborough House and without exception every occasion has been a success. Justin and Elaine have taken the pain out of last minute hitches with their ‘nothing is a problem’ policy. The food is fantastic and the room always looks stunning for our functions. There’s a wonderful sense of history about the old house and the gardens are wonderful for photos. All in all Maryborough has always been a great experience. ”

“ Dear Sinéad,

Thank you so much for all your help and advice in organising the social side of the Irish Academy of Management Conference. It was a real pleasure to deal with you.

From the first day I met with you last March when I first came to enquire about the event, your attention to detail and level of professionalism was very evident. Your positive attitude on subsequent meetings and on email and phone calls was all very much appreciated.

The conference dinner on 2 September was really enjoyed by all our guests. We were very pleased with the drinks reception in the dome and the food and general atmosphere in the conference room was excellent. We got lots of positive comments regarding all of the staff who were serving the food and drinks that evening. I would also like to thank Jonathan who did an excellent job in looking after everything on that evening.

As you know we had a number of our keynote speakers booked into the hotel also, along with many other delegates and again the feedback from all of these was excellent. They all spoke of the very good atmosphere, and all really enjoyed the gardens too.

We also had two other Irish Academy of Management Council meals in the bar on Wednesday 1 and Friday 3 September and I would like to also add my praise for Siva who was looking after us. His wonderful sense of humour and excellent memory for everybody added to our enjoyment.

So, Sinéad, on behalf of all the delegates and especially on my own behalf, I really wish to express my sincere thanks. It was a real joy to work with you, and you certainly made my job much easier. I will be recommending you and Maryborough House Hotel to my colleagues in CIT and elsewhere for future conferences. Best wishes in your career, and thanks again. Kind regards, Margaret.

“ Dear Sinead,
I want to thank you so much for the expert customer care you afforded to me whilst organising the UCC Alumni event at Maryborough House Hotel recently.
The care and attention we received on the night was excellent and all our guests have sent emails expressing their appreciation for a wonderful night.
The food was superb, the cake was delicious, the choice of wines was perfect and above all the profesionalism of the staff was all that this country can be proud of in these challenging times.
I sincerely wish to convey to you, to your team, and to the management of the Hotel our thanks and appreciation for a memorable night.
I look forward to spending similar nights at your venue when other events in my diary have to be organised.
With every good wish.

“ Very many thanks for hosting our recent course at the Maryborough Hotel and Spa. My colleagues and I found the hotel to be an excellent venue for the course and the Conference and Banqueting team to be extremely good in looking after us and accommodating our needs.

As ever, the food in the hotel was very good, so good in fact that we opted to dine in every night rather than explore further!

Unfortunately we were all a bit too busy to get to the gym or spa but I know several of our delegates did and thoroughly enjoyed it.

All in all the course went well and the delegates enjoyed the hotel, so many thanks to all concerned.

“ Just dropping you a line to say thanks a million for pulling off a super night.
A week on and everyone in the office is still talking about how great the night was.

I think all of us on the committee agree that the service you provided leading up to and on the night itself was exceptional.
Job very well done.

The amount of people that have commented to me on how pleasant and efficient the staff were in serving and clearing away dishes was amazing.
One of the bar staff in the main bar (from Donegal I think) was mentioned a number of times for his efficiency and pleasant manner.
