Abbeyglen Castle Hotel

The food, the craic, the music, the hotel itself is alway amazing at the abbeyglen. We always have a brilliant time when we are here.

Nothing

Everything felt like a dream. The surroundings are beautiful. The food was very good. In all the experience of staying there was wonderful for us all. We were five and would all highly recommend staying there :)

Love this castle! The food and staff were amazing. I’d stay here again!

Nothing

Все было прекрасно! Ощущение как-будто побывали в настоящем замке(хотя оно так и есть), прекрасные номера в соответсвующем стиле, паркинг, персонал выше всех похвал как и собственник отеля, который провел экскурсию с просекко, сделал памятные фото. Ужин был великолепный. Само место утопает в зелени, просыпаться в такой тишине идеально. Хочется возвращаться снова и снова! Атмосфера прекрасная и вообще еще много много всего, мы остались в полном восторге и именно это место добавило 100 очков к нашему путешествию! Спасибо огромное!

From the moment we arrived, the welcome we received from the staff and throughout our stay nothing seemed to be a problem. This family run hotel is a gem.

From beginning to end the experience was incredible. The greeting of the African grey parrot, to the decor of reception, to the drinks served on the patio, it just felt oldie worldie, Our rooms were spotless and the quality of the bedding was very there to see, I loved the old style meets modern feel of the place, The food was top rate, the wines excellent, the portions huge, the staff could not do enough for you, The abbey glen team really have their game covered

Staying at Abbeyglen Castle was the highlight of my trip to Ireland! My room was charming - and accessible for my wheelchair. I loved the history talk in the bar before dinner. I'd stay here again!

I was staying in another hotel in Clifden with my mother. We had heard a lot of positive things about this hotel, so we decided to visit for afternoon tea and scones. It wasn't busy. Despite this, we felt instantly unwelcome, like uninvited guests at a funeral who might have been there to steal the silver. The owners/managers seemed to be busy playing up to guests who were staying there-which is fine-but we were also guests. Did I imagine the side-eyes from them to us?! In terms of service, we were positively neglected, having to keep asking for things that hadn't arrived like napkins and milk for the tea! The price for tea (with no offer of top-ups) and tiny, unmemorable scones was ludicrous. If the hotel has a policy that outside guests are not welcome, they should put up a sign to that effect rather than vibing people out. This place gets great reviews, and if I was in that parallel universe of our fellow guests in that same room being charmed and regaled (and fed properly!) by the owners, I would be writing a terrific review. Instead, I'm not. It's very short-sighted of business owners to get someone in their door for small business (tea and scones) and treat them as one-off passing trade rather than having potential to recommend to others, repeat their visit, holiday or celebrate a wedding or birthday. (As an aside, my pal was looking at wedding venues in Dublin a few years ago. Accompanying him to a potential venue, I used the toilets. On a quiet Sunday, the ladies' toilets were dirty with paper strewn all over the booths and floor. Neither he nor his now-husband had thought to check this. Based on my observations, they went elsewhere for their wedding.) When all goes well, guests will overlook the dust and age in a venue, even find it charming. When you feel like an intruder, the dust, etc. becomes a further reason to find fault. People will always go there because they want to stay in a castle and because of the glowing reviews. I'll forever avoid the place and advise readers to do the same.

It was unique in its architecture and decor . A warm cozy feel . Beautiful grounds . We had enjoyable dining evening with great food to a birthday celebration. And we had fun afterwards in the pub.
