We had our wedding here and we couldn't speak more highly of the organisation, value for money and location! The ease of booking, planning and access to the venue for our wedding was of an extremely high quality. The food was also incredible. I would highly recommend as a venue ❤️

Great location, but staff are tired and so is the accommodation. It is beautifully set on incredible grounds that overlook the lake and multiple pools - but just lacks any real vibe. The buildings are in need of repair and an upgrade (if I'm honest).

Beautiful location, beautiful place but no internet connection (which it was advertised as having wifi and one assumes that means internet) they never did anything to rectify that either. Overall a lovely stay, with great walks though just hard to get the work done that I'd planned on doing when having to hotspot from my phone data.

Raffertys resort is beautiful and the surrounds are gorgeous. Excellent facilities with various pools to choose from. Our accomodation was clean and well presented. I was a bit upset upon check in as we had booked a great 8 cottage. I assumed as it was priced higher than the 3 bedroom cottages there would be 4 private bedrooms or 3 at least. However, this was not the case we had 2 bedrooms and a loft. The loft is over the kitchen and lounge area and you can see up there. It also presents a hazard for young children as the balustrade is not high and you can climb onto a bed and then over the balustrade. The floor plan isn't advertised on the website like other cottage choices and the photos seem misleading with no photos of stairs or loft. I was also very disappointed the loft consisted of 4 single beds. In total 6 single beds and one queen. I would rebook to stay but in a three bedroom cottage. Disappointed at the lack of information surrounding the great 8 cottage on the website and disappointed it seems like a loft villa with two extra single beds but you're paying a premium.
