The Shirley Arms Hotel

We went for food on Sunday the 9. The staff were great and family and sister from France enjoyed their meal. But you have no vegan food 😢.. YOUR veg Thai has fish in it. That not good enough. Hopefully you can change thai curry and please vegan food. Thank u pat

Have been staying at this hotel for years when on local business. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Food at the hotel is super too, never had a bad meal yet but helps when washed down with the black stuff. Breakfast is great and sets you up for the day ahead.

Fantastic customer service, gorgeous food and accessible for all. Attended a family funeral and couldn’t have been looked after better. Really enjoyed the stay despite the circumstances and highly recommend for any occasion! Easy access and caters to all!

I think for what you get this place is very over priced for bar food Food is ok nothing exceptional. It is hotel grup at fine dining prices. Staff always very nice and helpful. And its comfortable surroundings. great carpark at the rear of hotel.

Ate here and food was OK although my chicken stir fry was very salty. Shocked at the prices €43 for a fillet steak. €33 for beef stroganoff. €27 for chicken stir fry. What the hell is that about. Cheaper to go to a Michelin star restaurant and have a 3 course good meal. Won't return because of prices.

After having travelled from England in my EV car and experiencing trouble using EV chargers (thus resulting in all of my cars cancelled) I stopped outside the Shirley Arms to try the charger opposite the hotel. It’s at this point I knew my cards were cancelled and the previous charger was not the problem. Faced with. 2 hour drive with no charge, I decided to ask for a room at the hotel. I met with a lovely lady who listened to unfortunate tale and instantly offered to use her card to pay for electricity for my car to help me out of my sticky situation - what an amazing woman! Her kindness was incredible! I asked for a room, and they were fully booked, although 5 mins later - she ran out to the car park to say that she had found one for me. This kind and wonderful lady relieved my anxiety of being stranded 100’s of miles away from my home in Bognor Regis in England, and made me feel totally at home. I bought a beer (which a credit card worked for a beer and the hotel on chip and pin), knowing that I had not eaten, she also gave me peanuts to eat!! She also made sure that I had a vegan breakfast ready for me earlier than the restaurant opened, the following morning! This was exceptional service and a master class in how to be an awesome human being - I am still in awe of how someone can be so kind and genuine! Her name starts with D and it was a Lithuanian or Latvian name. Best experience ever - I certainly will return, even though it would be out of my way! Thank you D x

This is a fantastic friendly hotel. Met by an excellent receptionist who was super welcoming. Very clean hotel with spacious rooms. Staying for a family wedding the food, the staff and the atmosphere were all first class. Breakfast again an excellent served to the table event with exquisite produce. Worth a visit as this is a gem of a place.

Shirley Arms hospitality is warm, friendly & so genuine . Our room was huge & our bed & pillows the best we’ve had since travelling. Unfortunately the shower was very poor. Food was great in the dining room - stick with local produce always. Perfectly located right in central Carrickmacross.

Stopped off for food coming home from a weekend break.... food lovely but outrageous prices.... not sure why as certainly no where near worth it. Disappointing as we used to like this place. Staff nice and friendly!
