Villa di Meath

Just back from our annual overnight stay at Pillo hotel and another great stay. We go as a family of 5 with 3 children under 10, each year and always book a one night stay with emerald park tickets included as it works out the best value for us. This allows us to travel down at our leisure, have dinner and a relaxing evening before getting an early start to hit the park the next day. This years’ trip was excellent as we have found it to be every year. The hotel is located close to emerald park, maybe a 5 min drive, so it is really handy location wise. The family rooms vary depending on availability when you book, sometimes it can be smaller rooms, still able to sleep 5 but without a lot of extra space, and other times it can be the more spacious family rooms which can easily accommodate 5 and provide extra space. The more spacious rooms are naturally better when travelling with children but anytime we have stayed, whichever room type we have been in, has been comfortable and clean. Reception staff are always really helpful and although the hotel is always busy, they take the time to make sure you have everything you need. The Time restaurant on site is a lovely restaurant with friendly staff and a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The menu had just recently been changed and there were some other changes to the restaurant such as the open view of the kitchen which was a nice change. We had a 3 course family meal and it was some of the nicest food I have eaten out. The evening menu had something for everyone, lots of choice for adults and children and the quality of the food was amazing. Big thanks to the waiting staff including Aaron, Ciara, Jessica, Evie and Oxana (hope I haven’t left anyone out!) for such wonderful service and going out of their way to make sure we had a lovely evening. They were busy and flat out working but nothing was too much trouble. We didn’t make it to the swimming pool on this visit but this is also a great part of the hotel and the kids love it. We will be back next summer again and will look forward to it knowing this is a consistently good hotel and has everything we need for a family getaway!

Very friendly staff when I arrived and plenty of free parking. I got a spotlessly clean room with plenty of workspace, the coffee maker in the room is a nice touch. The hotel is only 10 mins walk from the town centre. As it was a quiet Tuesday night I ate in the hotel restaurant which was good value. Breakfast, included with the room, was served in the main restaurant and it was nice to have a freshly cooked fry up, not the usual lukewarm buffet most hotels seem to have now. Looking forward to staying again in a few weeks time.
