We had an amazing experience with Race & Stay. I wanted to book the Irish Derby for my partner, who loves horse racing, but I had no experience booking a racing trip. They took care of everything from start to finish, making the whole experience so easy and stress-free. We had an incredible weekend and couldn't have asked for better service. I would 100% recommend Race & Stay and will definitely use them again. Sophie

What an incredible trip. Our first time together overseas. Thank u so much Keeva & Bec for making our adventures one to remember. Stay safe everyone. Rosie & Patrick

I really enjoyed the trip and loved the racing above all. The Curragh is such a special place and Ireland is too! You have a lovely team especially your Jean. Heeva has a great future in hospitality and tourism. Thank you again for passing on your knowledge and stories....write a book, I'd buy it!!! Till next time...maybe Laytown! Thank you so much. Cheers Lorraine

Thank you, Keeva and all the others involved so much for looking after us so well, we had the best time and it was great meeting so many other great Aussies. Sorry we missed saying goodbye to you but we saw Keeva and Martin which was great. Jane & Peter

Just returned from Punchestown Festival and I cannot praise the team enough. Nothing was any problem from initial planning to added extras before we arrived and everything went smoothly from arrival to departure. Thank especially to Mandy for her friendly and welcoming approach and care throughout

Hi Martyn and Team, Just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for another lovely weekend and day out at the races on Saturday. There was 17 of us this year and we all had a fab time. A special shout out to Carol who was amazing and looked after us very well again. Kind regards, Jackie

Good morning Just would like to say thank you for an amazing trip. All the team were so helpful and fun. Will highly recommend to racing friends if they want a stress free brilliantly organised trip. A few more winners would have been nice though. Thank you again for looking after my dad and I so well. Gavin Pugh

Hi Just to say thanks very much, we will definitely use you guys again, service has been brilliant particularly our driver Craig who was super. We’ll certainly return for next years festival but not sure if you offer packages with the K-Club, as we’d want to stay there? Carton house was ok but we wouldn’t return, whereas we’ve been to K-Club a lot and it’s hard to beat. Thanks Keith

Good morning Keeva/Martyn Firstly thanks a million for everything you did for us 4 during Navan, Naas and Punchestown. It was another excellent trip and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Keeva you are an absolute star🌟🌟 Please add our names to the list for 2027. Same itinerary as this year but thanks to Peter we would also like to go racing at Kilbeggan on the Friday night before Navan, so it’s still 6 nights at Lawlors please. Anne and 1 are definites and we are working on Pauline and John. Anyway that’s it for now, so until Listowel I will leave you in peace. Kindest regards. Roger Tanner

Hi…I just wanted to email to say a massive thank you to the whole team for looking after us so well at our first time Racing in Ireland. From start to finish it was so well organised, we felt cared for and nothing seemed to be any bother. We both had the best time. I would definitely recommend Race and Stay to family and friends. Hope you can get some R&R after this week and we hope to see you again in the not too distant future! Kind Regards, Liz and Jordi

Hi Martin Thanks for organising another excellent few days for us at Punchestown. Can we please reserve again for the Tuesday and Wednesday at Lawlors - two twin bedded rooms for 2027. We may add extras (hospitality) nearer the time and can you pass on my thanks to Keeva for going the extra mile to help us with mobility etc. It was greatly appreciated. Once again- thanks for everything. Kind regards. Jim Wentworth

Just a quick email to say thank you to Martyn, Sam, Keeva and the team for organising a great few days for us. Great hotel and golf courses and of course we enjoyed the racing. We arrived home late last night, lighter in the wallet (racing didn't go too well!) but heavier in the body (no more Guinness for a while, please!). Hope the rest of the week goes well. All the best. Guy

Martyn (and team) thank you so much for what has been a fantastic week. We have loved every minute of it. Louise Earl

Hi Keeva, Just wanted to thank you and Martyn for looking after us we had a great time and will be back next year. Hope to see you in Newcastle Best wishes. Ian Gosden

Dear Martyn. Marie and I wanted thank you and Keeva for organising so well our holiday to Punchestown. It was the perfect combination of racing, hotel, dining, transport and weather, and finding a few winners was the icing on the cake. We'll now need to plan our next Race and Stay holiday! With best wishes, Simon

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

Hi Martin, It was so nice to meet you at the Clayton hotel in Leopardstown . Preview show was excellent. Myself and my party had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our trip , everything was well organised by Race and stay and can you give a big thank you to the ladies for looking after us , fantastic.. Our stay at Lawlors hotel was just so relaxing , and seeing the Cannonball Run was a bonus. 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
