Although the weather wasn't ideal, the total package from start to finish was grand. The accommodations at Lord Bagenal Inn were exceptional. Keeva, we especially enjoyed her company. She is delightful, knowledgeable and above all professional. The Willie Mullins Tour -- We would love to personally thank Patrick Mullins for taking the time to interrupt his day for the two of us. The tour was above and beyond what we expected. Please give Patrick our thanks. Both tracks were glorious. Both days of hospitality were exceptional. THANK YOU for a wonderful time in Ireland. I love horse racing, the stories of the jockeys, the trainers, the breeding and training of the horses. It is not just betting and winning. It is the whole professional process of the Sport of Kings. Bill and Kim Janicek

Looking forward to returning at sometime next year , if you can please let me know on your packages for 2026. Kind Regards, Jim Reade

Hi Martyn What an absolutely fantastic time we had. From the moment we met Craig at pickup till we were dropped back off at the airport. You and your team were amazing. The trips were fab; we met some great people and made friends we will keep in contact with. So many laughs, and so many memories made that will stay with us. Again thank you for everything - nothing was too much trouble. Tracey

Dear Martyn, Many many thanks for a wonderful three days. As you are no doubt aware from our conversations I am a life long racing fan. One of the events I always planned to attend was the Champions Festival weekend. Our family and friends generously presented the Race & Stay package to my wife (Pam) and I as a 60th wedding anniversary present. I must say the whole weekend was absolutely fantastic!! We both enjoyed every single aspect. The hotel accommodation was superb. The various taxi and coach services were all well organised and punctual. Obviously the racing was top class, the stud visits were very enjoyable and the tour guides very knowledgeable and informative. Then the wow factor!! Meeting and conversing with the great Dermot Weld was something I could only have dreamed of. What a lovely man!! Would also like to thank Keeva and everyone else involved for making it a memorable few days. Yours sincerely, Brian Griffin.

Dear Martyn, Another excellent effort by you and your team topped off by our stay at the lovely Lawlors Hotel. Very happy you listened to feedback from last year and avoided the unnecessary delays getting out of the car park. We will be booking next year as soon as we can. Kind regards, Clive

Hello Martyn Just a note to thank you, and all the other staff at Race and Stay for such a memorable weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the weekend. It has left us with great memories that we will never forget. We could not have asked for more. Best wishes Chris and Elaine

Good Morning Martyn, Your organisation of the two days racing was excellent. The staff involved in arranging the transport to the racing and returning to hotel on each day was very professional. The staff throughout the days made my wife and I very welcome and were very helpful. The hotel staff at the Maldron Hotel were also very helpful and made as feel very welcome. Overall we ha an excellent trip. Kind regards, George & Frances Williamson.

Good Morning Martyn and Keeva We would just like to say a few thanks for our brilliant stay. The hotel and horse racing were great, also our driver Peter had some great chat as well. We both really enjoyed our stay. Many Thanks to you All. Sean and Rebecca Hunter

Hi Martyn, Thank you. We really enjoyed our time at the races, you have a great ability to make sure everyone feels as if they are the only ones you are looking after. Galway is very different from Killarney and we have other festivals we might consider for next year. We will be in touch to let you know what we would like to do. Take care. Iain & Tracey

Martyn and team, We had an extremely good journey home. The driver arrived on time, he was great. The plane left 20 minutes early. We had a great craic with some lads going to Liverpool for a stag do!! Thanks to you all, as usual, an amazing time organised by yourselves. See you in Naas in September. Much respect to you all Maureen & Dennis

Good morning Martyn Just a short note to say thanks for yet another wonderful break. On behalf of the 4 of us a million thanks to you and Keeva, not to mention Peter for all your hard work. We look forward to the next one Kindest regards Roger

Good Morning Our group had a thoroughly enjoyable race and stay experience. Everything was well communicated, timescales were efficient and effective. Hotel was excellent, both for cleanliness of rooms and for food on offer. We have decided to go back next year although this time we want to stay in Naas, mainly as there is more activity in Naas when we return from the racing. Kind Regards Martin Wilson

Good Morning Martyn, Thanks so much for another fantastic, fun weekend at Bellewstown, great to see you and the team again. And to spend it mostly with very nice guest’s I’ve met previously was just perfect. We all had a great time. Keeva did an outstanding professional and excellent job looking after all your guests at Bellewstown, she spent time talking to everyone individually and gave lots of care making sure everything was correct and as it should be. She is a great asset to your business. Angela Robinson

Hi Martyn, we are safely home after our 11 week trip around Europe finishing with our racing tour in Ireland. The Racing Tour gave us some of our most memorable experiences: Meeting Dermot Weld inside the Curragh race tracks and the visit to his stables was something I will cherish forever. The visits to both the Irish National Stud and the Godolphin Stud were the best Stud visits I have been on. The 3 days of racing were very good, the company and the venue especially. Me I enjoyed the food , the serving of the main meal was a problem for some. The hotel was an experience, the room was spacious but quite hot with only a heavy doona as a covering, a top sheet would have made a difference. The meals and the Irish dancing were all enjoyable. Pam and I appreciated all the travel arrangements especially the trip from Galway to Nass. I hope this has been helpful. Cheers Barry.

Hi Martyn Hope you are good Thanks for looking after us so well when Sean and I went racing with your race and stay package we thoroughly enjoyed this I hope to visit Killarney next year with your company again and would appreciate if and when the package comes out for the summer dates for racing if you drop me a wee message so I can treat us both to another weekend of racing again Take care

Dear Martyn Thank you and Keeva for a really enjoyable break. It was an experiment for us and we had a very good time. We felt well looked after and it was great to have other people doing the driving etc. Wish we had known about your company years ago! The airport transfers worked well and the minibus driver was great - very patient. Tour guides also great! Hotel was good - the bathroom needed a bit of repairing which we mentioned to the reception as we left - nothing which spoiled our stay and hotel staff were very good. Enjoyed all the tours and race meetings and the Bective Tearoom whose staff were excellent. One small point - might be good for tour guides to know where the nearest toilet is in case of emergency need on the tours? We do hope to come again in the future. Yours Wendy and Bob

Hi Martin Just wanted to say Thank You on behalf of me and our party. Amazing few days again this year organised by a great company. As I mentioned this morning briefly. We will be back next year - and I would imagine our party grows in numbers again. Please also pass on our thanks to your team. Yet again they were all great and a credit to you. Regards and will be in touch soon. Chris Vause

Martin full marks to your staff & tranfer to punchestown Thursday & Friday We had a brilliant time & top class congratulations to Barberstown Castle it was amazing Continued success .. we will be seeing you next year with some of our friends Kathleen O Neill

Good morning Martyn I just wanted to send you an email to say thank you. What an amazing experience Punchestown has been. from the first communication with yourself, to the hotel, the staff who ran the day/bus, the Corinthian lounge and the man I met (Andy Beck) who took me and my partner to the trainers and owners area to meet some amazing people like Gordon Elliott and Paul Nicholls, this has been the best trip I've ever been on and I'm so grateful. I will be using race and stay at every opportunity in the future and telling my friends and family to do the same. Please can you put me down to receive Info about next years festival. I'd love to come back to lawlers hotel again and experience the same amazing hospitality. Kind regards and thank you so much again Wayne
