⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service!! We went as a family over Mother’s Day & we had the best time! The staff were l so friendly and were so accommodating to my 2 year old son! The rooms were immaculate and we will be back 100%!! Staff greeted us at the reception with a smile and couldn’t have been more friendly to us and our son! They made sure we slept well and that everything was perfect for us! From the reception staff to the bar staff we were treated so well! It is a very family orientated hotel and with the brilliant pool facilities it made going away so easy and relaxing! The food in the Carvery was second to none, I’ve never had a meal with so much variety which catered to all ages ⭐️ Thank you to all the lovely staff, Rebecca Davis.

We went to jacksons for the santa hotel. Sadly during our stay storm darragh arrived and Oakfield park cancelled the santa express so although very disappointing this was no fault of anyone. Instead the hotel had a santa visit, arts and crafts and movies. They went above and beyond. The staff added a sensory pack to our bedroom for our little boy who has Autism and it was brilliant, he loved it. When the santa experience got cancelled the poor girls on reception had their work cut out but they were lovely and so helpful. Catherine and Holly in particular made our stay brilliant and nothing was too much. Food in the bar was nice and very reasonably priced. Breakfast was also very good. Beds were very comfy. Bedroom was a little hot but we got a fan brought to the room so the 2nd night was perfect. 2 minor things I would say though would be... Reception doesn't have anyone on at night which is difficult if you're needing any assistance. Floorboards in rooms are quite noisy aswell but again not a major problem. We very much enjoyed our stay and would be back. Thanks again.

What an amazing Santa experience. We stayed the weekend 20th December to 22nd of December. We would highly recommend. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by the most friendliest staff who explained our itinerary to our very excited children and they received a beautiful letter. Our room was spacious for a family of five with spotless room and bathroom. We then went for a lovely meal and everyone was again highly satisfied and service was fast and efficient even with how busy it was. We then went to the main room where there was free hot chocolate mulled wine and cookies. Movies on all night and a token to visit Santa Claus for each family. Saturday morning breakfast was lovely children weee happy and even allowed to wear their festive pjamas without any drama. The hotel hosted a magic show at 1pm which was amazing. Then we experienced oakfield park Christmas which was so magical all in the price of the Santa hotel package. We absolutely loved our stay and can’t wait to come back again next year. Thank you to all the amazing staff who I am sure we’re exhausted at that time of the year and out out all the stops for a memorable weekend.

Staff were nice but the we had dinner in the bar one night and our plates were left in front of us for an hour. No one came near us, the bar was not very busy. The breakfast had a small selection and some of the utensil were used for multiple dishes which is not good practice for food hygiene.

We were thrilled with our stay in this hotel in April, 2025. Our room was exceptional as was everything else about our stay there. All of the staff were a pleasure to meet.

We stayed at jacksons hotel 13 th to 15 June & had a great experience loved everything about the hotel , only few things that we think could be improved , maybe some complimentary water in room & some type off fan as the rooms can get hot but besides that everything else was wonderful

Where do I start! Got to the room with my two daughters and my daughter found a toilet full of blood coming from a Tampax soaking in the toilet! I avoided an awkward situation by putting on the TV but only 2 channels were working so we rang reception and the man said start from channel 50 then you should get more channels but no still RTE1 and RRE 2 and that was it. So decided to go for a swim not only was the pool run down but the jacuzzi in the middle of the pool had a ring of scum around the tiles. So took my girls back to our room to watch RTE news and found the hair dryer not working so rang reception again and a helpful young man addressed our problem's and we had to pack and move to another room. Handed me two new key cards and when we got to the room they wouldn't open the door!! I still had access to the old room and rang several times for help but no answer so I had to go to reception but no one was there, eventually had to go to the kitchen and talk to a cook who finally helped me get someone to give me need key cards we got into the new room only to hear kids running around all night above as the floors are wooden floors so got no sleep. Got up for breakfast and found no plates for breakfast so had to wait then no eggs of any type as it just seems to be fried no orange juice no apple juice no white bread for toast. Couldn't wait to leave €199 for one night in faulty towers . I asked in the morning for someone to contact me regarding my stay but heard nothing. Avoid at all costs. Left ASAP the next morning and stayed in a real 4* hotel Radisson blu in letterkenny €127 for the 3 of us top class. No way in the world is Jackson's hotel a 4* hotel. DUMP.
