This hotel is in a beautiful location on the lake near Cong. The staff is the epitome of what one would expect from a hotel of this caliber. The lake and castle grounds are beautiful; there are numerous activities to satisfy almost anyone who is not content to simply enjoy the ambience of the hotel and castle grounds. For fans... More

We loved Ashford Castle's stately look...the beautiful setting, the gorgeous public spaces, the gardens. The dining room was warm and welcoming. The food was outstanding and as many other reviews have stated, the was no pretentiousness by anyone on the staff. They were friendly and helpful. However, our room was a big disappointment. It was clean and pretty, yet not... More

How often do you get to stay in a 1st class 13th century castle once owned and occupied by the Guinness family? Georgeous castle, manicured grounds, pampered service, great Guinness, fine Irish music and craic, and a breakfast buffet to die for. Follow that up with a cruise of Lough Corrib and you've just hit a walk-off home run.

Ashford Castle certainly lives up to its reputation. We understand that there recently has been a change in ownership which might account for some of the negative reviews earlier this year. We found it to be over-flowing with the richness and warmth of Irish tradition and hospitalitiy. Our room was lovely and emaculately clean. The George V Dining Room staff... More
