The hotel staff was understanding and supportive while dealt with missing luggage for four days. Helped me find places to shop and offered suggestions to help ease the stress. We were there for 8 nights and the staff was amazing from the first.

This place was beyond our expectations, the reception desk was so friendly and accommodating. The restaurants had excellent food and service. The hotel rooms were gorgeous. The bed was so comfortable. The rooms dont have air conditioning but they were still comfortable. The gardens on the property are beautoful!

6/10 Okay

We were a bit disappointed the hotels photos look fantastic and in fairness the gardens were superb but overall the property needs a bit of TLC. The staff were very mixed the waitress in the restaurant was super along with the different receptionists we engaged with, but the bar staff really didn't seem to care very much at all. The leisure centre wasn't very well policed as young children just jumped in and out of the jacuzzi as pleased without the staff paying any attention, the door to the sauna was missing some screws. The rooms could do with A/C, larger double beds and possibly some lights above the vanity mirror, but overall were clean and tidy. The location was very good and convenient for everything Birr has to offer.

The bedroom exceeded expectations. Very comfy and quiet. Visited the science museum nearby, which was the reason for staying at Burr. The hotel was the icing on the cake. Unfortunately too tired to try the pool.
