Abbeyglen Castle Hotel

Everything

Nothing

Fantastisk stemning og vidunderlig aften med musik og sang.

We wanted to spend a night in a castle in Ireland (doesn’t everyone?) and had done a lot of research. Many castles were very high priced, others were already reserved many months out, or not on our itinerary. The AbbeyGlen is only 200 years old and built by an industrialist. It does possess the requisite stone and woodwork to make for a unique stay. We really did enjoy this out of the norm experience. On the lower end, a small room complete with prosecco toast, gourmet (subjective) dinner, and breakfast was €400. One negative was the arrival of a Trafalgar Tour bus spilling 50 individuals into our idyll. I know, who am I to complain… The second negative was that it had been a sunny day and our room was very hot/stuffy and remained so for the night. Windows in heavy wood frames wouldn’t open, sign in room said, “don’t try” we asked staff and was told no and no fans. Next morning complained and different staff showed how to open the window. So we sweltered a bit. Small matter. The world turned and the adventure continued. But, we would ask the management to please clarify this for future guests. It’s okay to be hot, but to find out later that you didn’t need to… So, 4 out of 5 stars. Still a very unique and enjoyable experience. Otherwise, all staff really worked hard, particularly to ensure that everyone in the dining room (especially us in two tops on the perimeter around big tour group tables) were given equal attention - Big Thanks.

Large room. Large bath. Nice public spaces. Close to but out of town. Friendly proprietor. Excellent breakfast.

Loved the 1800, meet and greet session

Loved it all

A delightful experience with wonderful employees. Parking is just a few yards away, with a doorman on hand to help. Ronan Hughes gave us a delightful background story of the castle while we sipped complimentary bubbly. He made it his job to know your name and greeted you the next morning at breakfast...by name! The food was delicious. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The area is quiet and beautiful. A special place for adults to relax and enjoy.
