Abbeyglen Castle Hotel
"The grounds were lovely and staff were friendly and helpful. The manager was engaging and the history of the castle over the years was interesting. Food was excellent both dinner and breakfast. Our room was spacious with great view - really was everything I’d hoped for. Wonderful clawfoot tub with bath salts for relaxing after day at Kylemore Abby and Connemara park. Would absolutely recommend. If we return to Ireland this will be on our list."
