Hi my name is Jerry McCarthy I stayed in your hotel Saturday and Sunday night, just a quick word of thanks to you and your staff, I've stayed in a lot of hotels over the year competing in cycling events all over the country and would have to say the service and help we received from you and your staff was exceptional, your breakfast spread and dinner menu and way it was cooked and presented was at a different level, thanking you, Jerry
Hotel Minella is a gem and the professional and high level of service and attention to detail our group were shown is a tribute to all the hard work you and your brother are doing to meet the demands of an increasing discerning visitor.
Thanks again for a lovely evening.
All the best,
Jane – Failte Ireland
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you so much again for extending another warm welcome to myself and John last Monday. It was great to be back with you after having such an amazing reception with you on December 29th. Again, we can’t thank you enough for everything you and John did for us on the day. We had the best day ever and we have nothing but the highest praise for your hotel.
Thanks so much for everything,
Marianne and John.
Dear Elizabeth,
Just a note to say many thanks for the level of service we received at the hotel last week. I was out of the country last week and never got a chance to reply. We were very happy with both the meeting facilities and the dinner. It was a pleasure to deal with you, there was a real personal touch. Thank you too for the chocolates, there really was no need. You will be happy to know that we enjoyed them with our coffee break Friday!
Best wishes,
Emma
Dear John and Elizabeth,
It was wonderful to have 2 nights with you at the Minella earlier this month. Your hotel holds many wonderful memories for me and my husband. Bringing a tour group in was on my bucket list. Our group of 18 and our driver enjoyed our time at the Minella. Our meals were all wonderful, especially our dinners. Elizabeth, the caps were such a nice touch. They are being sported around several states here. Lord willing, we will see you again. In the meantime, we wish you good health and prosperity. Thank you for a memorable stay.
Kind regards always,

Dear Liz and John,
I was in Clonmel for the recent bike race, Cormac, my son was staying with you as part of Tralee MW cycling team. Unfortunately I was up and down daily from Kenmare but got to enjoy an excellent bar lunch and savour the very special atmosphere in The Minella. It truly is a credit to you both, from the beautiful home-grown Hydrangeas and Sweet pea to the wonderful, engaging and enthusiastic young staff it was lovely to be there. You can be very proud of all of them, the service and the property. I had greasy oily fingers most of the time as manager/Mechanic for the team so although I saw you both I didn’t want to impose.
I hope you continue to be very busy and successful as you richly deserve to be. Your standard of hotelmanship is to be admired.
Kindest regards,
Tony
Hi as President of the Peninsula Society I would like to thank you very much for a really wonderful few days …20th july everything was just perfect…. even down to Rose you brought the dog called Bo Bo which was the name of my late husband ( his 21st Anna is today) she also took a photo of me and Bo Bo and sent them to me which was really fantastic !!!!!!!
Please will you thank her very much for doing that I was delighted.
Hope to stay with you again sometime.
Again many thanks,
Niamh President Peninsula Society
This is a long overdue expression of gratitude for the truly wonderful stay we had at your Hotel around 28th July this year.It was a sad occasion as it was my Mother’s Funeral which brought us all back to Clonmel but you all made us so welcome and for us (myself, my brother and sister-in-law) it was so handy to stay in one of the attached cottages. Family members travelled down for the day and we were all touched by the hospitality and understanding you showed each and everyone of us. We will indeed be returning and I would not dream of staying anywhere else. Huge thanks and good wishes to you all for a happy Christmas.
Kind Regards,
Anne Hague and Family
A big thank you to you and John, and all the staff at Minella for last Monday’s party. The food and cake was delicious… and all the extra touches, tea and coffee for the guests, the table decorations, the fresh flowers and menu cards….
It really looked wonderful and a great evening was had by all. I really appreciate all the efforts that went into this…. A great night, in a beautiful venue which Dad thoroughly enjoyed!
Best wishes, Charlotte.
I just finished my seventh trip to Ireland. We stayed in five different hotels this trip. I was on the 206 Tours – In the footsteps of St. Patrick. Your hotel should have five stars for the way travelers are treated by your staff, the meals and deserts were by far the best! The rooms were beautiful. And there are NO words to describe your gardens, even this late in the season. I can never wait to return to Ireland and I will make sure to stay with you at least two nights, if not three! Thank you for being the brightest accommodation spot on my holiday!
Cheers, Wanda Tubbs – West End, North Carolina, USA
We write to thank you for your wonderful kindness to us when we visited Hotel Minella for lunch on 1st April last in order to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary.
All of you whom we met, the lady who served us in the dining room, the lady at the reception desk and the lady we took to be the manager could not have been kinder to us. We want to thank the chef and kitchen staff for a magnificent meal and the beautifully inscribed cake which we brought home with us and enjoyed later in the day. Our thanks also for the box of chocolates which you so kindly presented to us on leaving.
We will always remember you with such gratitude. You made our day.
God bless you all.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick and Maeve Mooney
Hi. John & Elizabeth, Just a quick note to thank you again for a fabulous stay at our favorite hotel IN THE WORLD!! You were so kind & spoiled us so outrageously, we felt like visiting dignitaries. John, the night you got us ice cream to eat at our cottage made us so happy. By the way, it was the best ice cream EVER. Seeing your smiling faces made us feel so welcome. And your A+ staff took superior care of us. We can never thank you enough for your kindness & goodwill.
With sincerest regards, Jim & Mary
Just back now from a weekend in hotel minella, and could not fault the place, excellent value for money, super service, they organised horse trekking for us as part of a deal, staff were so pleasant and helpful, especially Helen on reception and ailish(I think) who does the spa treatments, and John the owner who filled us in on spots to go for food and drink etc…

Quaint, traditional, warm. Many times I have stayed here and never a regret. I’m a US traveler (business) and really appreciated the feel of this hotel. Grab a guiness and listen to the locals – extremely friendly owners and locals. There is a gym on-site and the river is worth getting up early for a walk. I will miss the shaggy sheepdog that once greeted their guests and hope to see pictures of him on my next stay!

Many thanks for a truly fantastic getaway on Saturday night last. Your staff made our college reunion a most memorable experience. We were trilled with the little touches; the tea, cake, champagne and such friendly staff. We will spread the word about your wonderful hotel.

We would just like to say thank you very much for our 4 day autumn break at your wonderful hotel for the friendliness and the kindness of all the staff, for the delicious food and we appreciated the extra special touches such as the baskets of really tasty Irish apples. We look forward to seeing you all again in the Spring. A great hotel and we will most certainly recommend to anyone visiting Ireland.
