The staff are so helpful and looked after us so well. Especially the lovely lady who looked after us each morning at breakfast. We were sad saying goodbye to her on our last morning. We loved our room and treated ourselves to room service one of the nights and that was top marks. We ate in the bar another night and down in the Cottage too, couldn’t fault any of them. The only thing that could have improved our stay was the temperature of the pool. Okay for us adults but found it was too cold for our toddler. ##### Sarah Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The place is fantastic, the decor is very cool, rooms fresh and spacious, situation idyllic. Loved my smoked haddock for breakfast. Evening meal was was the only slight disappointment, not quite on par with everything else- uninspired and overpriced. I loved using the free bicycles to tour round the castle gardens and down to Cohan’s bar for a pint of Guinness and some delicious scallops. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Beautiful breakfast & dinner. Fabulous health & fitness facilities. Exceptional service from all staff. Unbelievable location & views. Room decor / furniture needed updating as furniture felt a little dated and out of keeping with general standard of the lodge. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 19 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful Hotel with stunning views and great service! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6167a025-8fa9-4169-aa2b-be37a2da1654-1750297170019.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/07267d58-b179-4ce7-a6be-c2f372b76169-1750297169341.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/53335631-b641-4d5b-99c1-bdaac0180bbd-1750297170453.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd8572d3-5671-4142-9716-4761e734d50c-1750297169996.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### elizabeth 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We stayed in a double room off the courtyard and it was lovely. Especially Loved the duo of local music in the bar area with Carmel Dempsey who has such a beautiful voice. Staff were very accommodating and drove us down to the Ashford Castle for a peek. Breakfast was delicious. In Cong took 'The Quiet Man' movie tour which is not to be missed! Ate dinner in Pat Cohan's bar which is featured in the John Wayne movie. ##### elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### JILL 13 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice to be a on the estate.

It was comfortable and charming and has everything you need, you have access to all the activities and you can walk the entire grounds and get beautiful photos of the castle. The breakfast is also delicious! Keep in mind that the Lodge guests can’t go inside the castle at all unless you are dining at one of the restaurants. ##### Cindy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra 19 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was fantastic.

I was told it is a “different experience” than those staying at the castle. It was generally a very nice stay. A delicious breakfast was the highlight of our stay. Other meals were more hit or miss and though tasty, a bit overpriced considering the more informal atmosphere. The decor was a bit bizarre, like they couldn’t figure out what style they were going for. Some areas were like a Las Vegas casino with mirrors, bright red tiles and modern art, while a turn of the corner elicited a feel for 18th century rural charm with a cozy fireplace. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dee5f957-a6d5-48c4-bfc5-dab156a78a42-1753802228791.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Aaron 24 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was amazing.
