Hi Catriona/Donna,

I just wanted to send you a quick email to say thank you so much for a great weekend. You wouldn’t believe the amount of fantastic comments from all the girls. The apartments were fantastic and the meal was beautiful. In particular the staff were amazing from the guys in the restaurant to the bar staff and even the bouncers they were the friendliest most helpful staff I have come across in a very long time. Also a big thank you to both of you for all the organising I really don’t know how you coordinate all the hens. You really do an excellent job and I will be spreading the word to everybody I know. The Courtyard Apartments/Murtagh’s is definitely the place to be for a hen party. I think myself and few of my friends might even come back down in November for a girls night out J

Thanks again for everything,

 Claire J

Hi Catriona,

I wish to express our sincere gratitude for the most amazing weekend in Carrick on Shannon! We booked the Glamour package, the hens are still talking about it and it surely will be a weekend to be remembered! I want to compliment Kelly and her team of make up artists, she listened to our different requests and everyone looked fabulous. I also want to thank you for all your precise organising, to the staff of Murtagh’s bar for being so friendly and especially to the manager who was more than helpful and made sure everything went as promised. Its a rare occurrance that the staff of such a busy atmosphere show interest in customers no matter what the hour and nothing was a problem!

We really can’t find a fault about our whole experience in Carrick, the apartments were so mod and they had everything we needed, the food was “to die for” even down to the bubbly! I can assure you that we have spread the good word about your hen packages and I can speak for all the hens on this one..We cant wait to go back!!!

 Thank you for a weekend we’ll never forget!

 Ciara and all the girls from Clare! x

Good afternoon Catriona,

I want to thank you for arranging a fantastic weekend on the 26th March 2011. Eveything was brilliant and everyone had a ball.

Maria, Saturday 26th March 2011

Hi Catriona

I am writing this email on behalf of myself, Noreen, Siobhan the chief and the 30 odd hens that traveled to Carrick last weekend the 19th of March.

Thank you so much for the best weekend ever!

We landed in Carrick on Sat and we met with Stephen who gave us the apt details and the codes for the rooms.  He was super and gave us his number in case we needed the codes again!  He showed us where to go etc thus avoiding any confusion for anyone!

Then we made our way to dinner in Murtaghs Bar and it was amazing-the girls were so impressed not only with the quality of the meal but also with the quality staff that served the table and did absolutely everything to help us.  We cannot thank the staff enough.

We then headed for the boat and it was brilliant!  The DJ was great craic and we were all enjoying the time spent – it flew!

We danced the evening away and returned to the mini bus after to bring us to Murtaghs.  Herre we were brought to the Basement Club for our Champagne and shots – unbelievable value.  We all had a fantastic time and the service with this company is excellent.  The champagne was very good

Before departing on the lonely bus home on Sunday, we all at breakfast in Murtaghs and please say a huge Thank You to the girl – waitress with the dark curlyish hair- for all her assistance, between breakfasts, extra toast, extra tea, lucozades, water, eggs….she was so busy and we appreciate all her hlep as we stocked up before the voyage home

The amount of phone calls/text messages I have received from the “hens” since returning home yesterday is huge and each one has the same to say- WOW THE BEST HEN WEEKEND EVER!!!!!!  

I hope you can let the gang know there how grateful we are for the A one service that we received from the moment we landed to the moment we departed.  We only wish we could’v stayed the week

  Míle buíochas,

Noreen & Siobhán “the Chief” & All The Hens of 2011

Saturday 19th March 2011

Julie, 17th & 18th September 2010

I just wanted to say a big thank you for a wonderful weekend we had in your apartments and complex. We had a ball, no doubt about it. I wanted to compliment yourself and the rest of the staff on a relaxed and stress free atmosphere for the whole weekend. We were delighted with the apartments and the cleanliness and facilitates on hand. Every query I had was answered in quick time and any requests I had were met. One thing which stood out for the weekend was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff of Murtaghs, including the bouncers. Everyone was in good spirits and helped us out in any way. I can’t thank the staff enough. This package is definitely something I would recommend to other hen parties or even groups.

Thanking you again,

Caitriona, 9th & 10th April 2010

Testimonial

We travelled down to Carrick on Shannon for a hen party weekend.  Some were staying two nights and others one and the Courtyard Apartments were very facilitating and flexible with the package.  Our group was  a mixture of ages and it suited everyone down to the ground!  Apartments were fantastic and were just perfect for the weekend that was in it.  Due to weather conditions (severe flooding) we could not go ahead with the Moon River cruise, however, an alternative option of  a cocktail class was arrnaged which everyone enjoyed.  Dinner on the Saturday night was beautiful and the Murtaghs staff were as helpful as one could ask for.

I would centainly recommend the Courtyard Apartments for hen parties or even just a weekend away with friends.

Amy, 4th & 5th December 2009

Hi Catriona

The apartments were brilliant. Everyone loved them, lots of space and so central!! Only thing lacking was a sweeping brush……we could have cleaned up a little better. The meal in Murtaghs was great and the staff were brilliant and great craic! Joe and the blonde lady with the british accent were just brilliant!

My sister, the hen, was really chuffed with everything, couldn’t have been happier!

Thanks a mil for all your help!!

Deirdre, 28th November 2009 

Hi Catriona

I thought the package that you offered was absolutely brilliant, the service provided was excellent, you were very helpful in trying to organise the hen and arranged anything that we had asked for.  I would highly recommend the package to anyone.

With regard to the Ann Summers party, we all had brilliant fun, we thought it was a great thing to have on the Friday as the girls were all travelling down at different times, and we wanted to stay in the apartment.  It was  a great way to pass some of the evening and get the craic going.

Boda Borg again was brilliant, we are part of a football team and love these sort of activities.  It was very reasonably priced and was definately worth every penny.

The meal was lovely, there was something for everyone on the menu.  Everyone complimented the food.  The staff were very friendly as well.

The salsa class was brilliant, it was a great way to cure the hangover from the night before and got the day off to a great start.  We even used some of the moves in the nightclub!

The apartments were very clean, well presented and had everything we needed.

I can speak on behalf of all of the hens when I say we would definately go again and would recommend to anyone organising a hen party.

Thanks for all your help over the last few months.

Karen, 20th & 21st November 2009

Hi

I booked two of your apartments the weekend of the 13th /14th November.

I just wanted to thank you for a great stay.  The apartments were perfect for what we needed and set us up for a great weekend.

Good luck in future, and I will certainly be recommending the place for anyone heading down that direction.

Many thanks

Ronan, 13th & 14th November 2009

Hi Catriona

It has to be said that I have absolutely no regrets with choosing this location for my hens. I had all ages down for the weekend and the whole package was catered for everyone. We were met upon arrival and brought straight to our apartments, from the second we arrived I knew it was going to be a great weekend. Murtagh’s bar was brilliant on the first night and we all really enjoyed the meal and wine. The second night we went out on the boat and we never laughed so much…Even though we picked the most miserable weekend weather wise, it didn’t matter cause we all had a ball. So well organised, really hope to have one of my friends hens here in the future cause I really want to do it all again.

Thanks to everyone involved in the weekend.

Rachael, 23rd & 24th October 2009

Hi Catriona,

I have to say it was a great success.

The apartments were super and it was so convenient to the pub/restaurant/club.

Nigel was very professional to deal with.

The dinner was great and the staff in Murtaghs were fantastic.

Everyone agreed that all in all it could not have been better.

Many thanks for your assistance and attention.

It’ll be a pleasure to recommend The Courtyard Apartments & Murtagh’s to anyone looking for a venue/accommodation.

Thanks again

Best regards

Des

PS – On your website I think you should mention more (maybe a video?) of how convenient The Apartments are to Murtaghs and the underground car park facility was great too! J

Des, 9th & 10th October 2009
