“Dream castle experience. Best Hotel Ever says my well travelled 16 yr old.”

Our stay at Ashford Castle was one of the highlights of our family's trip to Ireland. All of my children are young adults and it was the prefect stay for all of us. The Welcome was sincere and genuine even for tired Americans in jeans. The suite rooms were over-the -top fabulous! The more casual dinner at Cullens was the best food we had on our trip, and the breakfast in the dinning room was delightful and elegant. We especially enjoyed the after-dinner cocktails in the beautiful bar and sitting area. If you want to do more than tour through castles. If you want to be able to touch, admire and luxuriate in fairytale surroundings than I would highly recommend Ashford Castle.

Area recommendations
The village of Cong was a 7 min walk from the castle. It had several shops and quaint restaurant and pubs. The "Quite Man" tour was delightful and fun.
Dining
I would highly recommend Cullens restaurant which is located just outside the gates of Ashford Castle. The service was excellent and the food was superb.

“No need to storm this Castle!”

It would be hard to find a Castle that is more storybook than the Ashford Castle, complete with river moat, suits of armor and a dungeon (ok the bar). Fantastic Service, People, Food, Plenty of fun stuff to do (anyone want to learn falconry?). The castle inside and out is a blast to hang out in. The rooms though are just about average for a luxury hotel, our bed though unfortunately was two twins shoved together - make sure you don't get this. Its a minor nit, but the only one I can remember - than again you don't go to a castle for the rooms! Highly recommended

Traveller's tip
Stay at least two - maybe three nights - there is so much to do from golf (on the grounds) to lake crusises that one day just doesn't cut it. Also the main restaurant can be quite pricey but they do have a few options and if you have a car, there are a few towns with options just outside the castle gates.
