The Avon

Had tea at the Avon after a walk on 26/12/2024 the staff were pleasant even though the tea/ coffee order was mixed up it was rectified quickly .however when I went to use the disabled bathroom off the coffee area the condition of it was beyond filthy I almost vomited and can’t only describe the toilet facility as disgusting. it clearly had not been checked for some time. We left as soon as we could and will avoid the place in future. The customers there included older people children etc. we have been to the Avon numerous times but never again! No attention to cleanliness certainly not in that toilet.

On Saturday 30th of September we had a family celebration in the library bar. I would really like to thank Laura and her team .Laura so deserves this 5 star review . From the way she had the room set up. The welcome when we arrived. The food was so good both in presentation and taste.so a big thank you Laura. Also to Sarah and the bar staff great service .

Wonderful place. You will enjoy the nature, the lake and the walking in the forest. Totally recommend especially over the summer time. There’s also a good variety of food for the whole family. Great place for great time 🕰️….. 💯 % recommended.

I held an event at the Avon venue on Saturday. I was so impressed by the venue and the staff. Having held lots of retreats in various hotels and locations it is safe to say I had never had one go as smoothly. Nothing was a problem. After ringing around many hotels to find a place I finally was recommended to try you guys. Kirsty answered and I've rarely spoke with someone as helpful. She was so helpful and efficient it was a no brainer to book in. On the day and the day before I met with Orla who was a SAINT! Anything I needed was no problem and all I needed to do was explain what I might need and off she went and made sure it was done. I can't tell you how much I appreciated it. Her manner was so pleasant, kind and helpful. And she went out of her way to show me a walk I could take my retreat group on. The views from the room we held our event were out of this world. The staff in the restaurant were also incredible, there was one lady with sort of reddish hair (sorry I didn't get a name) who was just incredible also. Just really wanted to help and was just phenomenal at looking after all of my guests. Again I can't tell you how much I appreciated this. The food was fantastic! In the past I've got feedback from other hotels where the staff have been rude and unhelpful which is disappointing as the retreats are of a sensitive nature but everyone raved about this venue. I would absolutely recommend you to others and hope to come back again soon for another retreat.

Our family had a gathering and catch up at the Avon bar and Function rooms recently. The staff were fantastic to deal especially Orla & Peter. We had 30 family members meeting up for lunch midweek. The food was fantastic and presentation was equally as good. The venue is amazing with beautiful views of the Blessington lakes. We were able to eat the relaxing atmosphere of the Avon Library bar and then enjoy the roof top beer garden. All the family enjoyed the day and the kids were kept busy exploring the nearby activity centre. Overall, we had an amazing day, fantastic food, wonderful customer service at an amazing venue. Thanks everyone at the Avon

Had a christening here recently and its been a while since we've been in the Avon and what changes!! We had heard good reports but we were made to feel very special the day of our christening. We had a range of buffet menus to choose from and the food was super! We had our own entertainment which went down a treat and later we had the option of getting food from the food court and bringing pizzas in to the bar. A great day overall and all our guests were very happy and complimentary of Orla and the whole staff. We will spread the word!!
