Excellent

It was a bit disappointing to be honest. Adare Manor and Ballyfin were much more superior. The staff need a bit more training and attention to detail. They were very friendly however.

One of a kind experience! Walking with The Dogs was particularly fun

Amazing! Everything was absolutely gorgeous! Staff was friendly. Had an amazing time! Highly recommended.

Everything was nice, but my husband left his computer charger and called the hotel and they say they were going to call us, that was 3 days ago and we haven’t heard from them.

This was the experience of a lifetime!

Ashford castle stay

Everything great, staff, service , bar, restaurants, grounds. Beautiful property. Staff goes extra mile.

EXCELLENT

Amazing staff, beautiful surroundings. something for everyone.

Very quiet, beautiful, outstanding service, and attention to detail. Absolutely stunning.

Beautiful! Everyone should experience this at least once.

Wow!

One word to describe this experience is AMAZING!

Beautiful property, 5 star service , unfortunately food did not meet expectations for such a grand property. Staff was professional & courteous, loved the level of service. I would highly recommend a better dining experience.

Impressive

Really wonderful experience We went to falconry school Conell our instructor was wonderful very passionate and knowledgeable

Magical Experience

Our stay was Totally amazing. The castle is beautiful, inside and out and there are lots of activities on offer. The staff are friendly and helpful, from the moment you are greeted at the door, through to check-in and dining.

Service was amazing in every aspect Dinning amazing Room was beautifully decorated and bathroom Had everything you could want and was large and comfortable and quiet

Stay of a lifetime. Worth every penny

Exactly what a five star castle stay should be— the staff bent over backwards to be helpful. Do the falcon walk.

Nice!!

Excellent service

Loved it! Beautiful place, very comfortable and friendly.

It‘s a treat

The property is magical and the staff and dining were incredible.

Perfect location and staff

Love the Castle, grounds and fascilities. Very grand and traditional with a friendly and attentive service team. From the porters to the housekeeping, the bar staff, concierge and sommeliers - All help shape the allure of this fine resort.

This was by far the best property that i have stayed at in my entire life

Absolutely gorgeous and a magical holiday!

Magical stay. Always.

Your activities facility is fantastic! Clay shooting. Horse back riding thru the amazing woods. Breakfast service wonderful. The small town Cong walking distance is a great place to spend the day in. Everyone is so friendly and happy. Magical stay. I do see that barroom needed some upkeep. The backs of the shower handle area looked poorly attached

5 star experience!

This was our second time staying 2 nights at Asford Castle and it exceeded all expectations. The moment we pulled into the front gate it started our amazing experience. All staff, food, and accommodations were truly 5 star. The customer service is like no other.

An absolutely amazing experience in every category! Once in a lifetime experience.

Simply amazing!

Our stay at the Ashford Castle was truly amazing! Our first time there was memorable. Upon entering, we were greeted with such style and made us feel like we were royalty. Accomodations were breathtaking too. If you are planning a trip, make sure to book afternoon tea and the hawk walk at the falconry school. The only miss was that we stayed for one night, way too short to enjoy all that they have to offer. We will definitely be coming back.

Stunning castle! We loved exploring the castle grounds, being treated like royalty, the amazing beds and bedding 😉, good, and amazing service!!!

It’s the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was beautiful and well appointed. They’ve thought of every possible need you might have. You’re treated like a king or queen. The restaurants are first class. The service is second to none. If you have the opportunity to stay there don’t hesitate.

This was our third visit to Ashford Castle, and the experience remains spectacular. The physical building, the grounds, and particularly fabulous service from being met at the entrance to the property to the nightly turndown service with chocolates all deliver the ultimate luxury experience. We were able to take advantage of the boat tour, the morning dog walk, the movie theater, and a private wine tasting. Our only regret is that we didn't book early enough to take advantage of other activities such as falconry, archery and horseback riding. Something to look forward to on our next visit.

The best place ever!! It was our 2nd time back and just as wonderful as the first time. We would live here if we could :) It has the best hotel staff in the world.

Amazing property! Th service was impeccable-I would expect the absolute best given the property level. It has many many activities but must be reserved in advance which in some cases a disappointment should the availability be limited.

This is a spectacular property. The grounds are huge and really beautiful. We did the hawk walk and it was the highlight of our one night stay. We ate in the bar for lunch and the ham and cheese baguette was sooo good then we had dinner in the dungeon and it was just good, not as great as I imagined it would be. Breakfast was also good but I've had better brunches. It was a really good experience and we are glad we stayed for at least one night.

The property is very beautiful especially the garden. There are a lot of fun activities on the property like horseback riding, archery, falconry, swimming, biking, golfing, tennis, etc. The staff is very friendly and nice. The staff is very helpful and they can assist you with all your needs. The movie theater and its snacks are also very delicious. If you look closely inside the castle you can find a secret hiding spot. The food is also delicious especially there breakfast aged ham. The golf course is beautiful and there aren’t much people so I totally recommend it.

This is one of the most comprehensive properties I have ever stayed in. It has so much to offer...restaurants with exceptional service and offerings, concierge service for your ever need, valet parking, transportation to every event or location on the property, garden tours, golf, falconing, fishing, boating....it's hard to do it all in such a short stay. And, oh by the way, the rooms are absolutely incredible! Beautifully decorated, modern communications systems, and ultra luxury within a fabulous setting. It is a Forbes 5 star hotel deserving of the Red Carnation listing. You pay for all of it, of course, but if you must stay at a place that cost you a bundle, this is the place.

Do not pass up an opportunity to stay at Ashford Castle! Superb experience with amazing customer service and super fun activities on the grounds!

Our second visit to Ashford and once again it was wonderful. The service is exemplary. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The rooms are lovely with very comfortable beds. Breakfast in the dining room is huge and delicious with lots of options for every palate. Don’t miss the opportunity to go on a hawk walk at the School of Falconry-it is a unique experience getting to handle these magnificent birds. I also recommend the morning dog walk with the castle’s Irish wolfhounds.

Nice place. Nice service. Amazing trip and very good memories.

It lived up to the Hype. Glad we stayed in such a unique hotel.

Ashford castle is amazing. The grounds and accommodations are gorgeous. I wish i would have had more time at the castle and visited Cong, the town just outside. It wS all beautiful. I recommend at least one full day if not too. I would have loved the boat tour and we wanted to do the falcon walk but should have booked ahead. Day of there was no availability. Id also make dinner reservations at one of the 3 hotel restaurants before your trip Enjoy the amazing place.

An absolutely amazing experience. Thanks to all the staff for making it such an enjoyable stay.

Superb property with friendly staff who are attentive and professional

Castles, grounds and amenities are incredible. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is unforgettable. My second stay and it was even better than the first. Highly recommend.

Once in a Lifetime Trip

Grounds are beautiful and you are treated like royalty from the moment you enter the hotel. You receive an orientation and you do receive calls to check in on how you are doing. There is no need to leave the grounds since there are a few restaurants to pick from on-premise. Short walk to Cong is you want to check out the Quiet Man bar. We stayed two days and wish it was longer.

Everything about our stay at Ashford Castle was perfect. The service was impeccable, the grounds exquisite, and the room was a dream. The entire staff was delightful and helped make our stay unforgettable.

So much fun to say I've stayed in a castle, eaten a fancy meal at a castle. The room was lovely, dinner at The George was wonderful. I really did feel like a princess. Thank you for taking such good care of me.

This is one of the most incredible properties in the world. Location on lake and River. It’s next to Great little village of Cong. One of my favorite places ever

There is nothing I can say about this property that would fully express how amazing it is. The beauty of the area, the staffs desire to ensure your happiness, their obvious (and rightly so) pride in The Castle, the myriad of things to do, both onsite and in the small town of Cong which is a beautiful 10 minute walk away - all of these things made this a vacation that I will never forget and will be hard to top.

Disappointing. I stayed at this property about 8 years ago and remembered the service was impeccable. That is why I returned. Unfortunately it has lost a great deal of its quality and service you would expect for $750 per night room. Only about half of the employees were friendly and pleasant the others didn’t seem to care much about providing service. You need to make reservations for the indoor pool which I found unusual. We opted to eat at the casual dining restaurant which was the only positive and enjoyable experience there. Our waitress was amazing. The room was small. Nothing in the mini bar is free, which was sad because you are paying a premium to stay there. On the previous night we stayed at a different 5 star hotel that gave us free beer, sodas, and endless water. Breakfast was horrible, my food came out soggy. They used to have a wonderful buffet 8 years ago but now you can only order from a menu and your options are limited. I would say this hotel this is more of a 4 star hotel, not luxury at all. The icing on the cake was when they loaded our luggage into the car and told us where it was parked so we could walk to it in the rain, they didn’t drive it to us.

Perfect

The castle and staff are amazing! Can’t do enough for you and can’t wait to stay again!

Friendly staff and excellent service

Fantastic 5*

Most amazing experience ever had in hotel. 5*service. Couldnt fault it.

Perfect

Ashford Castle lives up to its reputation. A stunning hotel with very friendly staff, excellent facilities, great food and a beautiful setting.

Perfect Christmas break peaceful and stunning surroundings Staff were polite courteous, and above all friendly, very helpful and looked after all our needs. The castle itself was beautiful.

The Ashford Castle is SIMPLY SPECTACULAR!! This was our second time staying at this magnificent hotel, and while we never thought we could top our first stay (which was amazing), we absolutely did!! We were greeted by the wonderful staff like we were family. Niall, the General Manager, is just fantastic. He is so kind and so hands-on with everything there, which is probably why the hotel runs so perfectly. Catherine, who is so sweet was in the lobby to greet us with her warm smile. Brege and Eleanor in the dining room are the absolute sweetest! Francisco, Gian Paolo, and Katelyn took such great care of us every morning at breakfast and were just precious (and we loved Mike who brought us freshly squeezed juices). David, Connor, and Shane and just AWESOME and will make any arrangements you need. And last but definitely not least, Paddy, the wonderful lounge ambassador, is just the best! The rooms are absolutely luxurious (heavenly beds, wonderful bathrooms & toiletries), the food at every restaurant is beyond delicious, and the activities are so unique. I highly recommend Falconry, the boat ride, archery, and the morning walk with the dogs. The common spaces are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen, and all warm and inviting! The service level is just superb! I have been fortunate to stay in many fine hotels, and Ashford Castle is by far my favorite. My family is already planning our next visit and cannot wait to see all of our friends again soon!!

Wonderful stay - treated like royalty the entire time.

Beautiful castle. An experience to stay

Bucket list satisfied.

Absolutely impeccable! The service and food were fantastic! The castle is so impressive both inside and around the grounds. They have a variety of activities for all guests.

Lovely

Exceptional at every moment

I loved everything about the Ashford experience. Except I paid over 5k a night for a suite and the AC did not work. I told the staff and they did nothing. I was unable to sleep because it was so hot in the room. For 5K a night I think I deserve some good AC.

The castle is unique by itself. The opportunity for unique activities such as skeet shooting and falconry delighted us.

Everything about this hotel is excellent

The staff felt like family. They genuinely cared.

Fabulous castle with magnificent gardens

Don’t miss walking in the truly magnificent gardens.

Absolutely Fabulous

This property had everything anyone could want in accommodations. The beautiful grounds were phenomenal! We walked down different paths without running into anyone. The staff were wonderful; booking us breakfast and dining times, giving us an extensive tour of the facilities and a brief history of the castle. Our room was very comfortable and clean. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in anywhere finer!

Irelands gem

Ashford castle the most beautiful hotel in Ireland but it is the staff that make me return .They are fantastic in every way

Wonderful honeymoon

We went to Ashford Castle for our honeymoon and it was everything we hoped it would be. Beautiful location, amazing service, wonderful food and the room was gorgeous.

This property is, quite simply, absolutely fabulous in every regard. I would not hesitate to return.

Amazing hotel! Magical stay. Lovely hotel staff

Exceptional

Fabulous rooms and excellent food

Everything was fabulous, your hotel spoiled us.

This is definitely a place for that special occasion. From the moment you arrive the staff are welcoming and it is everything you would expect from 5 star accommodation. We had a wonderful bed and pillows, fresh water every day but unfortunately no tea or coffee facilities in your room. We had a couple of minor issues but staff were able to sort this. I love my food so didn't expect the restaurant to run out of rib eye, especially when this menu is available all the time.

Unbelievable experience, a true gem!!

Our stay was fantastic all the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful , breakfast was very good great choices and very tasty, our only small criticism was with the dinner in George v dining room we felt it was overpriced for the small portion sizes and limited choice, but otherwise we had a lovely weekend at Ashford Castle.

Great Trip

Amazing!

Exquisite experience

Our stay at Ashford Castle was an amazing experience. We were treated with an exceptionally high standard. We were in a lake view room which was immaculate, attention to detail was exceptional. Dinner was outstanding on both evenings. Service was outstanding, food was exquisite, every course was definitely velvet on ones palette. Relaxation pool was also a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Wine tasting was totally devine and Paul was a fantastic host. Glad to have had the pleasure of meeting him. Debbie should be given an award for customer service as should Tristan and the other managers that we had the pleasure of dealing with. Nothing was any trouble to them. They went totally above and beyond and both my husband and I could not have asked for a more enjoyable time. This has to be one of the most enjoyable break we have ever had. Thank you to them all.

Ashford Castle - magnificent in every way

Ashford Castle is an absolutely beautiful hotel nestled in the most stunning scenery. It is remarkably private, the staff are amongst the most attentive and friendly we have ever come across and the hotel is absolutely magnificent. The castle itself is kept in immaculate condition, a lot of the original character has been preserved and utilised and the attention to detail is unparalleled. It is a truly magical hotel and the staff are the beating heart of the place.

Ashford Castle was a dream!!! Absolutely beautiful inside and out!!! The grounds are immaculate, the food was delicious. We enjoyed our Afternoon tea, the spa was wonderful, and our Falconry Walk was both informative and a new experience that we very much enjoyed. Incredible service and attention to detail and our every comfort!

Great to be back

Absolutely fabulous

Well worth a visit

Exceptional hotel. Immaculate condition and great facilities. Very friendly and helpful staff.

On arrival the Castle and grounds are stunning. The service given is friendly and welcoming. The only slight disappointment was the food. On the whole and wonderful experience.
