If you've been on the website you can see the jaw-dropping castle and scenery. The interior is just as spectacular and I do believe they have anointed saints working in the kitchen. Be sure you spend the little extra to get a room with a lake view and the breakfast buffet. If you see the breakfast spread in the morning... More

Your experience at this luxurious hotel begins at the gate. The gatekeeper, Frank introduces himself and directs you to the hotel up the breathtaking drive. You are met by the doorman, John who greets you by name and accompanies you to reception where you are introduced to a receptionist who sits down with you and welcomes you to the hotel.... More

It's expensive, but it is luxury personified. All of the staff are very cordial and professional and treat you like royalty. They just can't do enough. Recommend a room with a lake view in the old section. Rooms are spacious, and a walk of the grounds is very romantic.

We stayed at the Ashford Castle on the last night of our tour. I only wish we stayed there on every night of the tour. We arrived by boat on the lake and from the very first sight of the castle we knew we were in for a treat. If you ever get to stay here, please take advantage of... More

Stayed here for two nights recently in a lovely corrib lake view room. The room was not the biggest but it was more than adequate with gorgeous views and a fabulous big luxurious bathroom. The bed was so comfortable. Nice turndown service with chocolates and in fact the staff tidied and cleaned when they did the turndown service too. All... More

My 2 sisters and one cousin decided we would tour Ireland and England. Our first stop after flying from London was Ashford Castle. Wow, first of all what an impressive drive up to the castle. The sign and gate at the front and then the long drive coming up to the bridge over the water and the gorgeous castle! I... More

This is a castle, period. It seems anyone can add castle to their hotel name in Ireland but Ashford is the real deal. Because of this a stay here is not cheap. If you can work it into your budget you won't be disappointed. This is one of two places I had to book the basic room and not a... More

We loved, loved, loved Ashford Castle! What an amazing experience! From the time we pulled into the carpark, to the time that our car left the estate, we were made to feel like royalty. I honestly thought that they had mistaken one of us for someone famous, although there is nothing remarkable about either of us! The castle is surrounded... More
