To all at the Ice-House...What can I say? Myself and a group of ladies stayed with you on Friday 7th sat 8th Feb last to celebrate my sister?s wedding-to be! It was a hen with a difference!! From the moment we arrived (To the complimentary glass of bubbles) we were made feel most welcome. A special mention to Vivian who went above and beyond her role, to attend to every small detail (and a few large ones also)...which resulted in a fantastic weekend had by all.
The highlights, to name but a few were as follows: the excellent standard of service at breakfast both mornings. The exquisite dinner on Friday, the lovely comfy parlour in which we enjoyed a few tipples- you even permitted us to bring our own bubbles to add to the merriment! The staff and treatments (thank-you Sharon) in the spa were wonderful and even the night porter had a lovely welcome for us when we arrived back in the early hours of sat/sun morning!!

Thank you so much for making our wedding so special and unique. It was everything we wanted it to be and that was mainly down to yourself, Dara and all the staff at the hotel. Our guests were blown away by the hotel and in particular by the friendly staff and amazing service. I have put up a supplier recommendation on Weddings Online. We really love the Ice House and will definitely be back down before our 1st wedding anniversary. Best wishes and thanks again for all your help and I hope you have continued success in the Ice House.

We had our amazing wedding at the Ice House in September 2011. Thanks to Vicky and all the staff, our wedding day was made truly memorable from start to finish. This venue is beautiful for a wedding - great food, beautiful setting and attentive staff. We had a civil ceremony on the premises followed by wonderful reception. Even the weather was great that day! We cannot recommend this venue enough.

Sinead,
What can we say that really captures our gratitude?
Thank you so much for all - from the onset you have been wonderful, communicative, helpful and accommodating during all of our wedding planning. I really appreciated your warm, pleasant and receptive manner all the way till the day itself! Not only myself and Rory, but all the guests were delighted/impressed with The Ice House- and our day couldn't have gone better.
The hotel setting was gorgeous, the rooms were fantastic, the staff were brilliant, the spa stunning, the food amazing and the whiskey tasting/cocktail classes - such good fun!
I have already recommend you highly to a friend & I will not hesitate to send people your way- especially to you, as you are a natural dealing with brides, weddings and all that entails.
Thank you so much...

We got married in the beautiful Ice House Hotel and can only strongly recommend this as a special venue for anyone planning their wedding. From the minute we arrived at the Ice House we felt fully relaxed and entrusted the staff to meet all out needs.
We held our civil ceremony there also, facing out to the beautiful River Moy. From the canopies, wine and dinner through to the midnight bites, the food was delicious. Special touches were evident throughout the day and all the staff were so friendly and made our day so special.
We stayed in the Bartra suite. The room has a fabulous view across the river through to the Beleek woods. Again special touches of personal welcome notes, champagne and chocolate dipped strawberries. After the three days we wouldn't have changed a thing.
Thanks again to the fabulous warm staff of the Ice House Hotel *****

I just wanted to thank all the staff in the Ice House for helping to make our son's wedding such a wonderful occasion last Friday. The Hotel facilities are first class in every respect, but without such a friendly, helpful, professional team of people it would not have been as memorable an occasion as it was. Our thanks to everyone in the Hotel.

Once again I have to say thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. We both could not have asked for more, it was perfect in every way. Everyone that attended the wedding was raving about the Hotel, food and staff and I hope you get some repeat business from it. I know we will definitely be back to stay and hope to celebrate any future occasions in your amazing Hotel.

Last Friday, my wife Nicola and I attended the wedding reception of my good friends Fergal and Natasha Fleming. I just wanted to take a moment to compliment you and your staff on the wonderful evening we had. I could not imagine a more lovely setting for the occasion and as a foodie, I have to especially compliment your chefs and waiting staff on the night for a superb meal, far exceeding my expectations of usual wedding fare. I even made breakfast which was lovely, (I must be getting old). The general friendliness of staff marks a difference to a guest in any hotel, and for this I can honestly say you score very highly.
I will be highly recommending your hotel to my friends for a visit, and I look forward to perhaps a quieter stay the next time?. might even get to try your spa.
