The Rochestown Park Hotel boasts a fabulous swimming pool that both kids and adults will love. The water is warm and inviting and the pool area is very nice. The pool is well-maintained and very clean with a jacuzzi beside the kiddies pool for added relaxation.

The Rochestown Park Hotel is a fantastic choice for families looking for a enjoyable stay with their children. The spacious family rooms exceeded our expectations and even included a mini fridge which was a huge plus for families with little ones. Although there were no tables available until 9pm, the lobby area provided a great space for babies to crawl about. Kids would love to spend time in a movie or games room, but they were kept entertained nonetheless with the warm and family-friendly leisure pool. We did experience a slight hiccup with the staff not getting our baby's bowl right, but it was quickly remedied. The breakfast menu was limited, but we realized too late that pancakes were available for the children. Overall, it was a great value and highly recommended for families- we even brought along 13 family members with us on this great family night away!
