The Staff were brilliant I feel the hotel needs updating the rooms were a good size the cleaning could be better it’s such a lovely location just a few changes could make it a more warmer and inviting place to stay. I may return but mainly due to the wonderful staff especially the reception staff. I don’t like to criticise but I truly believe you could have an amazing hotel if certain problems were addressed, Kind regards Pauline 🙏

Excellent Inn in Ireland

We were a family of four and this hotel had everything we needed: an on-site pub for dinner, a playground for the 5-year old, comfortable beds, and smart bed arrangement. We also decided to take breakfast.

The hotel is beautiful and the grounds have a castle that they encourage you to explore. The bar was nice, and the bartender was very helpful. Our room was a LONG way from the front desk and you can't access it from the outside. We had a small child, but the kid zone they advertise is only open for a few hours 2 days a week. Likewise, there are limited hours for children to use the pool and a dozen rules to follow in the pool area.

The Inn At Dromoland is okay. The front looks pretty good and the long drive up to it is nice. It’s when you drive round the back to get in closer via the back door that you see how run down it is. Does that matter? Not too much, but it feels a bit fake. The room was fine, and the restroom appeared to be recently remodeled, but it was a major turn off when lifting the seat finis g that the bottom side of the seat had not been properly cleaned in ages. A short visit to Dromoland Castle was a nice surprise and the grounds there are beautiful. We simply parked and walked around to admire the castle and grounds. Service was not bad at this hotel, but we were told we. Loud park in the back, but found no way to actually enter through the doors that were near our room. 7/10.

Great hotel for families

The Inn at Dromoland was a great hotel for my family. We stayed for several nights with our 3 year old daughter. We appreciated that there was any outdoor playground and an indoor playground (though note that the indoor playland does have a cost and it's only open certain hours). Our daughter enjoyed the playgrounds and we saw lots of families there during the Easter holiday, so we felt very comfortable at the hotel. The breakfast was just okay, but the restaurants had good food for dinner and kid friendly options too. Overall this was a perfect choice for my family as we explored Ireland!

Beautiful hotel,

Beautiful reception area. We stayed in a family room on the ground floor. It was very spacious and clean. The corridors are in need of an upgrade but it doesnt take away from the cleanliness of the hotel, justcwear and tear. We used the swimming pool, staff extremely helpful and friendly. Had food in the Shannigans Gastro Bar, really reasonable for a family of 5. Staff very accommodating and helpful. Food was delicious. Would definitely stay again.

I attended an authors' conference at the hotel. It was the perfect venue. The breakfast is wonderful, the sandwiches and soup at lunchtime tasty and the food at the bar delicious. My room was quiet and the bed comfortable. While I found the price a little more than I usually pay, Ireland has a lack of hotel rooms so prices there are quite scary. Overall, a wonderful stay and the staff are brilliant.
