Wonderful visit!

Our trip to Ashford Castle was amazing! It is luxury in its finest form. The attention to detail was top-notch. You will not be disappointed if you choose to visit. We enjoyed many of the outdoor activities because the weather in July was fabulous in Ireland!

Excellent exclusive hotel

Ashford Castle is one of the most prestigious hotels to stay at in Ireland and deservedly so. Although the way I had a great experience stayingin the castle, it is a little unusual that the Sister hotel guests are essentially not allowed in the castle unless they have a reservation fordinner, etc. This makes a castle very exclusive. Was great for me, but seems a little less than friendly. The staff was excellent and everything about the service was perfect. If you’re going to stay here, you must get a room in the castle for the full experience.

An unforgettable Family Experience.

Another outstanding visit , we have been visitors at Ashford many times over the last 22 years and somehow it gets better with every visit ... Red Carnation have done an amazing job since they took over , the summer is terrific , but if you get chance the Christmas /New Year period is like a Hans Christian Anderson "fairy tale".. Just marvelous.

Unbelievable Birthday Experience

Staying at Ashford Castle was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a real-life fairytale. The castle and grounds are absolutely breathtaking, and every detail is impeccably maintained.
What impressed us most was the staff. Every interaction was warm, professional, and flawlessly executed. They made us feel welcome from beginning to end and elevated an already extraordinary stay.
Our dinner at The Dungeon was exceptional. We started with the classic prawn cocktail and Scotch egg before enjoying the beef filet, dry-aged pork chop, the famous Dungeon lamb pie, and the Hanging Room Cut of the Week—a perfectly cooked lamb chop that was absolutely delicious. Paired with the potatoes and other sides, it was incredible. The staff also surprised me with a small birthday treat, which was a thoughtful gesture and appreciated. Given the overall expense of both the stay and the meal, however, it felt a bit modest for such a special celebration.
The accommodations were elegant, luxurious, and full of character while still being incredibly comfortable. Every part of our stay exceeded our expectations.
If you’ve ever dreamed of spending a night in a castle, Ashford Castle is everything you imagine and more. It is a magical experience that we will never forget, and we hope to return someday.

Our first of many visits to Ashford Castle

Our stay began warmly with Dan at the gate and Joe at the entrance, who handled our car and luggage professionally. Although our room was still being prepared, Sabrina managed this superbly by arranging a fascinating history tour and offering champagne in the bar, making the wait enjoyable.
In our room, chocolates, sherry, and a personalised TV welcome were lovely touches. After a long drive, the accessible spa was the perfect way to unwind.
Dinner was memorable. Arezki, our French waiter, kindly ensured our steaks were cooked exactly as requested, and the restaurant manager’s complimentary drink afterwards showed real care for guest satisfaction.
At breakfast, the kitchen kindly prepared fresh laminated bread for us again, which was delicious and much appreciated.
As my wife has limited mobility while awaiting knee replacements, Marianna arranged a Castle minibus tour with Vincent when a buggy was unavailable. His knowledge of the estate and Cong, including the underground river between Lough Mask and Corrib, made it a wonderful experience.
Throughout our stay, the staff’s impeccable manners impressed us. Marianna, Sabrina, Joe, Arezki, Vincent, the restaurant team, the chef, and Shane in the Castle boutique were all excellent ambassadors for the hotel.

Dear JohnM10167,
Thank you sincerely for sharing such a thoughtful and beautifully detailed review of your first stay at Ashford Castle. It means a great deal to know that your visit was memorable from the very moment you arrived, and that so many members of our team helped make your time with us truly special.
It’s wonderful to hear how warmly Dan and Joe welcomed you at the gate and entrance, and that Sabrina ensured your room preparation was handled with care by arranging a history tour and a glass of champagne to make the wait enjoyable. We’re delighted that the touches in your room — the chocolates, sherry, and personalised TV greeting — added to the sense of occasion, and that the spa provided the perfect place to unwind after your journey.
Your kind words about your dining experience are greatly appreciated. Arezki will be thrilled to know his attention to detail made your dinner memorable, and the restaurant manager will be equally pleased that his gesture contributed to your enjoyment. We’re also delighted that the freshly prepared laminated bread at breakfast was such a highlight.
It’s especially heart‑warming to read your comments about the care shown to your wife. Marianna’s thoughtful arrangement of a Castle minibus tour with Vincent, and his knowledgeable and engaging commentary, clearly made a meaningful difference to your stay. We’re proud to know that accessibility and guest comfort were so well supported throughout your visit.
Thank you for recognising so many of our colleagues — Marianna, Sabrina, Joe, Arezki, Vincent, the restaurant team, the chef, and Shane in the boutique. They are indeed wonderful ambassadors for Ashford Castle, and your appreciation will mean a great deal to each of them.
It was a pleasure to welcome you both, and we truly hope this will be the first of many visits. We look forward to creating more memorable experiences for you in the future.
Warm Regards,
Niall Rochford
