Cliff at Lyons

Estate gardens and Grand Canal towpath walks for small dogs near Dublin

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star hotel in a restored 18th-century village on the Lyons Estate in north Kildare, about 40 minutes from Dublin Airport. A limited number of rooms and cottages take dogs up to 30 lbs. It suits a small dog and owners who want garden and canal walks without driving.

Why it's in the collection

The village sits on the Grand Canal, so the towpath walk starts at the gate, with the gardens and grounds of the Lyons Estate around it. Celbridge and Castletown House parklands are about 7 km away.

Best suited for

Small dogs only, 30 lbs or under, on a lead everywhere and never in the bar or restaurant.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Dogs can explore the gardens and grounds on a lead. They're on a lead inside the hotel too. They aren't allowed in the bar, the restaurant or any food and drink outlet. Wet dogs need drying off before coming inside.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
