    One of a kind experience.

    rating04 Apr 2026

    What a wonderful and amazing experience I had at Ashford. Not only are the grounds and the castle beautiful and thoughtfully maintained, the staff are truly exceptional. I believe they are what made the visit truly memorable. The check in staff, the gentleman concierge, the waitstaff, the archery instructor and the gentleman with the dogs were courteous, polite, well informed, friendly and funny. The accommodations were extremely comfortable and well appointed and the food and drink were some of the best I have ever had.I highly recommend for an adventure as well as relaxation in a truly beautiful location.

    Paula Pastry is an incredibly talented chocolatier!

    rating03 Apr 2026

    We had another wonderful stay at Ashford Castle full of new experiences and discoveries. Every time it gets better and better. Room, service and food were excellent. Niall's favourite for lunch is the chicken schnitzel. I wanted a non-alcoholic cocktail before lunch but struggled to find something I would like from their drink menu, and Paul in the Prince of Wales Bar very kindly prepared a bespoke one for me. It was fantastic, thank you Paul.After lunch we had the privilege to taste Paula's new creation which is coming out in May and will be on the menu in the Drawing room. Watch out for this delicious chocolate treat - rich, yet light with incredible balance and full of flavours. As we stayed just before Easter, we had an opportunity to try Paulas's amazing chocolate Easter Egg, inspired by a century old apple tree planted during the Guinness family's ownership of the Ashford Castle estate. There also was a hand-crafted masterpiece - a huge Easter Egg placed on the table in the hall. We had many afternoon teas in Ashford, but again they surprised us with a new offering prepared by Benjamin and team. We really enjoyed it. This time we stayed in the beautiful Suite 409 with stunning views over Lough Corrib. The room was spacious with a separate sitting area and an unbelievable comfy four poster bed. We still can't make up our mind which room is our favourite. Each of them has its own character and beauty.A massive thanks to all the Ashford Castle team who are always very attentive and welcoming! We look forward to our next stay. See you soon. Ashford Castle, General Manager at Ashford Castle Hotel & Country Estate, responded to this review Dear TatianaNiall,Thank you sincerely for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review. It is always a pleasure to welcome you back, and we are delighted to know that each stay continues to bring new experiences and enjoyment.Your kind words about our team mean a great deal. Paul in the Prince of Wales Bar will be thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed his bespoke cocktail, and Paula will be overjoyed by your praise for both her upcoming creation and her Easter masterpieces. Benjamin and the team in the Drawing Room will also be delighted that their new afternoon tea offering made such a positive impression.Room 409 is indeed a very special room, and we are delighted you found it so comfortable and enjoyed the beautiful views over Lough Corrib. It is wonderful to hear that each room you have experienced holds its own charm for you.Thank you once again for your continued support and for recognising the efforts of so many of our colleagues. We look forward to welcoming you back to Ashford Castle for your next stay.Warm regards,Niall Rochford

    Incredible Ashford Castle

    rating01 Apr 2026

    We had one of the BEST experiences at Ashford Castle Hotel and Country Estate. Everything was absolutely amazing! We could only stay for one night (this time round...), but, when we came home, it felt like we had been away on holidays for a week! My oh my! Atmosphere - it was awesome...very relaxed. Rooms were just absolutely incredible - clean, hygienic and super comfortable. Housekeeping staff 10/10!!! Loved the 'Castle' feeling! The location was breathtaking...I could have stared at the views in the quiet of the outdoor gardens for hours and hours. Staff were super, super super! Service 10/10. The spa, gym, swimming pool etc. were all fabulous. Massive thank you to all the staff in the spa for taking such good care of my Mother ...she loved her treatments. This trip was just one of a kind - inexpensive given the brilliant memories it created. Inexpensive given the exquisite service, food and amenities. I will cherish my memories for ever. I simply just can't wait to visit again. See you all soon. Can't wait !!! xxx Ashford Castle, General Manager at Ashford Castle Hotel & Country Estate, responded to this review Dear 226aoifer,Thank you so much for sharing such an uplifting and heartfelt review.

Your praise for the atmosphere, service, and the comfort of your room is truly appreciated, and our housekeeping team will be especially thrilled with your kind recognition.We are also delighted that your mother enjoyed her time in the spa and that the team there took such good care of her.

    One of our best stays anywhere ever!

    rating01 Apr 2026

    My husband and I stayed March 5. There was a huge wedding going on that weekend, but we felt just as valuable as the larger group. We had a wonderful dinner in the Dungeon, and a fantastic breakfast in the George. Our room was beautiful and the bed was amazing as was the bathroom facilities and all of the high-tech conveniences seamlessly combined with the classic decor. We enjoyed walking the gorgeous grounds and exploring the castle with its Wall of Fame, billiards room, gardens, and other little rooms and tunnels of interest. We visited the spa but did not have time to use it or the separate pool and gym area, regrettably. We absolutely loved our walk with James and the wolfhounds where Molly got the zoomies and was "full of beans", which is a new phrase for us to use for years to come. James was very fun and kind and made it so enjoyable. We then did clay shooting and that was also fun, lots of patience with us and options presented to make it fun and successful. There was a variety of different type of shooting, along the ground "rabbit" or different heights and speeds and all sorts of combos. Lastly we did the hawk walk with Mia and Aztec. Miguel hosted us and he was great, so personable and informative, we loved him and the hawks. We were able to each have our own hawk and walked the grounds with them perched on our arm (very light weight) and taking turns flying away and returning. Our stay at Ashford Castle was one part of a 14-day trip, but it was such a highlight. 100/10 recommend Ashford Castle, General Manager at Ashford Castle Hotel & Country Estate, responded to this review Dear OnAir278470,Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review. We are truly delighted to hear that your stay with us was one of the highlights of your 14‑day trip.It is wonderful to know that, even with a large wedding on the estate, you still felt warmly welcomed and well cared for throughout your visit. Your kind words about your dining experiences in the Dungeon and the George, as well as the comfort and design of your room, are greatly appreciated. We are especially pleased that you enjoyed exploring the castle and its many historic spaces.Your compliments about our activities team mean a great deal. James will be thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your walk with the wolfhounds—Molly certainly has a way of making an impression—and our clay shooting instructors will be delighted that they helped make the experience both fun and memorable. Miguel and the team at the Falconry School will also be overjoyed to know how special your hawk walk with Mia and Aztec was.We are sorry you didn’t have time to enjoy the spa and leisure facilities, but we hope this gives you the perfect reason to return.Thank you again for your generous recommendation and for sharing such lovely reflections on your stay. We would be honoured to welcome you back to Ashford Castle in the future.Warm regards,Niall Rochford

    Ashford Castle…great memories!

    rating31 Mar 2026

    Ashford Castle is a true jewel! It was beyond our expectations. The castle is amazing with the beautiful furnishings and artwork. The staff is exceptional and always ready with a smile and greeting. I highly recommend staying in the castle instead of the lodge if possible.We stayed for 2 nights and wish we had booked for 3 nights. Great memories will always be with us!
