Ashford Castle

We had fine dining last frid night and it was rop class,the food was superb, this place is absolutely stunning and the staff could not do enough for us, I didn't want the night to end, if you the chance go for the treat, the staff are so warm and welcoming, amazing place, the views, the surroundings, stunning to say the least, a big thank you to Vincent at the end of the evening for taking the time to talk to us about the history of the castle and for our tour, you topped off our night, such a lovely man, what was an amazing experience

We went for a family trip in August to celebrate a birthday. Having never been there before, we booked several days at the Lodge and several days at the castle to get a feel for the estate. Both establishments are lovely and highly recommended. That being said, our stay at Ashford Castle was absolutely magical. The staff are warm, the accommodations are tasteful and luxurious, and the food is stellar. I was quite impressed with the staff from the moment we arrived. We were greeted with warmth and made to feel comfortable and welcome immediately. The wait staff was personable and knowledgeable. Each meal was prepared with care and skill. We engaged in several unique experiences including falconry. The trip was like stepping into another world. We booked a longer stay the week we got home and plan to return in a few months. This was a total departure from everyday worries and routines. Ashford is a special place. It is beautiful, luxurious, and unique. This trip was worth every penny.

Our time at Ashford Castle was unforgettable. The attention to detail was unlike any hotel experience we have had before. The staff were the star of the weekend, specifically the consistency and cohesiveness of service provided by everyone throughout the estate. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and showed commitment to our unique experience. The rooms are perfectly kept and charming, always with the customer's needs in mind (i.e., towel warmer, heated bathroom floors, slippers, evening chocolates). The estate's location is pristine. Food was locally sourced and always of the highest quality. Take advantage of the several estate experiences that they offer. We reserved the falconry experience and went on morning walks with the estate hounds, and we wished we had booked more! This will be a stay you won't forget.

My wife and I enjoyed a two night stay in Ashford Castle recently and had a really wonderful time. It is expensive but worth every cent. From checkin to departure we were treated like royalty but in a very friendly non obsequious way. Our accommodation in the Boathouse was beautiful, very private, and no detail was spared to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Plenty of thoughtful gestures which were much appreciated. Lots of very enjoyable activities including the spa (which was excellent) the boat tour, clay pigeon shooting, lovely walks through the grounds. We had a ball. Would highly recommend a stay there particularly for a special occasion.

Ashford Castle is one of the most breathtaking hotels I've ever stayed in. This is my second time visiting, and it will certainly not be my last. Everything was absolute perfection.

Ashford Castle. What can be said that has not already been said before. From the moment we drove up to the gate of the estate we knew we were going to have an amazing stay. Every single member of staff were helpful and extremely friendly but at all times gave 5* service. It was everything we dreamt of and more. We did the History Tour cruise from the Castle - Loved it.. Took complimentary bikes and cycled around the estate and went walking with the wolfhounds. Dinner in the Dungeon restaurant was gorgeous. Also loved the Billiards room and Cigar room adjacent. This trip was extra special to us as it was on my partners Bucket List and we were so excited to experience it. The complimentary Upgrade is something we still talk about, we were blown away by the kindness to receive it. We stayed for 2 nights and I was super excited to see the availability for November 2026 was opened earlier this week, and booked a 3 night stay for next year. Ashford Castle, Management and Staff. Thank you for all you do. We are so looking forward to returning and our plan is to make this an Annual Trip.

My four adult children and spouses joined my wife and me for a three day stay at Ashford Castle. Everything exceeded our expectations. The rooms, the food, the service and the available activities were all excellent! The staff was so friendly and accommodating! It definitely warrants a return visit. Upon returning home, I told friends that I don't know what "castle living" was like in the 16th century, but it's mighty fine in 2025!

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe our experience at Ashford Castle! It is absolutely breathtaking in its stunning location, surroundings, and beauty. The rooms were opulent and yet so comfortable. The food was impeccable. They had boots and umbrellas in the lobby for guests to borrow so the weather didn’t deter you from enjoying all the amazing activities. The only thing more amazing than the castle itself is the staff! From check in to wait staff, everyone was beyond attentive. But hands down the highlight of our stay was the Sommelier, Paul! When we arrived too late for our cellar wine tasting, he brought the wines to our dinner table. He was knowledgeable, interesting, and funny. The next night he took us to the cellar for a private tasting, patiently took our photos, and made it the perfect end to a perfect stay!

We had a fabulous time at Ashford Castle. I cannot fault the team of staff there. Absolutely marvellous, their attention to detail is second to none. We were so impressed with the courtesy service into Cong, so nice to go in, and chat with everyone there, come back to the Castle for a night cap. The breakfast was wonderful, as a Coeliac, I was really very impressed with the GF pastries. Never have had GF pastries before. They were delicious. The whole breakfast experience was fantastic! All the staff are really very attentive. It would be unfair to single anyone out as they are all very nice. I have to say, Breege & Eleanor & Patrick were brilliant. But to be honest they are all so lovely. Spending 3 nights there was fabulous, we were there last year for 2 nights. We will be back next year for our annual get together with some friends. Once again thank you for having such a fabulous place that we can come to, which feels like home. Very relaxing.

Enjoy a truly Castle experience with fine dining and country pursuits available. The staff were delightful and helpful. The views from the property are spectacular, and there are extensive walking trails throughout its grounds. The onsite kitchen garden provides fresh produce for the kitchen, and it is well worth a visit.
