Front desk person said I did not book through her instead by another third party so she could not give me a receipt, terrible , I do NOT have a computer or no printer , even give me a piece of paper ! And in the restaurant the staff was more interested in their texting on phone rather then helping us with a table !

The Golf Course makes for a beautiful backdrop to the stay. MacPherson House was a bit too warm upstairs, so we switched to one of the chalet's which was great.

Very Poorly Run
We arrived and the room was very cold - A/C was broken and would not turn down - we went to the front desk and they agreed A/C was broken and would send maintenance over to look at it. We went to dinner and when we got back room was very warm - no follow-up from front desk - no visit from maintenance - room was sooo hot we couldn’t stay the night and left - have asked for a full refund of our stay

We didn’t come for the golf, which is probably why most people stay at Ben Eoin. Without that attraction, the ‘resort’ really offers very little. No pool, gym, spa, walking trails - nothing. The room is huge, but lacks modern convenience. It’s not possible to access streaming services on TV so you are stuck with the regular cable offerings. The door has a key lock which was extremely temperamental to open. Bathroom supplies were limited to shards of soap and four tiny shampoo bottles. We didn’t get coffee for the first night, etc etc. To be considered a top quality resort property, Ben Eion needs to step up its game - oh, and tell the Golf Pro to stop leaving his Corvette on the turn around! He’s not that special!

Overall the place was good, there are some part of the house are a bit run down and the doors tend to be hard to open and close for the bedroom. Despite all these issue which did not affect much on our stay. We still have a good stay and its great location for travelling with family.

We had issues with the toilet as soon as we checked in and we hadn’t used it. I always flush the toilet to make sure it works before we settle in our room. We waited for maintenance to come up. The other item I did not know -if you stay for more than one night in a hotel the staff does not come in and freshen the room, remove used towels and replace them. I was very surprised by this. Everywhere I have stayed before for more than one night housekeeping always freshens the toom
