Our first visit to Ashford Castle was unforgettable, and we’re already planning our return. From the moment we drove through the gates, everything felt personal and welcoming. Every member of staff we met was friendly, kind, and genuinely attentive. Our room was perfect, the grounds were absolutely stunning, and the food was truly 5‑star. Breakfast was an experience in itself — the spread was incredible. A fabulous stay from start to finish.

We had a beautiful waterview room. The room was beautiful. I only wish we had more time! The falcon walk with Collin and Mary was more than we hoped for. It is as the book says "one of the thousand things to do before you die". The afternoon tea was delightful. We also had dinner in the Dungeon Room. The front desk did all our reservations before we arrived. We are looking forward to a return trip!
