Testimonials

A Huge Thank You to Tara O’Brien!
We want to extend our sincere thanks to the incredible Tara O’Brien, who was the MC for our Wedding Fair at Great National Hotel Ballina. Tara did an amazing job hosting the fashion show and interviewing our wedding experts – her professionalism, energy, and warmth truly shone throughout the day!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better host. Thank you, Tara, for making the event so special

Hi Tara
I write on behalf of the Chair of the Active Retirement Association, I wish to convey our appreciation for the excellent attention to detail by all members of staff and management during our stay with you. Members enjoyed their time there with you. All the staff were so attentive, and made our stay all the more enjoyable.
With this in mind, could I possibly book, for Tinsel & Turkey 2025..
Members who went on arranged trips enjoyed them.

Please accept this email as an appreciation of your kindness and pass our thanks and appreciation to the staff.

Good morning Tara,

I just want to send a BIG THANK YOU for our stay at the weekend.

My sisters and I had a fabulous time, it was wonderful to be there.
Thank you for our accommodation, the room was superb and very comfortable.
Your staff are great and made us very welcome.
Kay in reception could not do enough.
I could have the name wrong but think it was Ashling, (front of house in the restaurant Saturday night), was also exceptional.
The Hotel was buzzing and we really enjoyed our stay.
Hope to get back next year for an extended stay.

Hi Tara,

Just a quick note to say all went well on the bridge holiday. As usual, the staff played a blinder. They are so patient and good. Everybody complimenting them.

Thanks again,”

Tara,

The feedback from the group was really positive, they enjoyed their stay with you in Westport and the daily activities/tours they undertook could not have gone better.  Thank you for your support in putting this package together for them, some in the group have limited mobility and the hotel was so accessible it was great and it could not have worked out better.

Tara,
I’ve been away for the last few weeks and didn’t get a chance to write and thank you for the lovely few days all 42 of our members spent recently in the Sligo Southern Hotel.
All the reports have been very favourable, from the bedrooms to the Dining Room and the overall service from all the staff.
On behalf of all our members, thank you to you and all the staff.

Kind regards,
