My boyfriend and I had a wonderful weekend in AbbeyGlen Castle - from the roaring fires to the Christmas trees, it was charismatic, charming, traditional and a very welcome escape from the city. The staff are attentive and genuine and I had a lovely treatment in the beauty centre hidden out the back, which was very enjoyable. The restaurant is... More

I stayed at the Abbeyglen Castle with some of my family for the three night New Year's package. The Abbeyglen is really a very unique hotel, the level of personal touch provided by the owners and staff is second to none, we felt like we were staying at a big friendly country house party for New Years. Brian Hughes makes... More

We decided to splurge a little and stay one night on our trip in a castle. The place has so much potential so we were a little disappointed with the place. The staff were very friendly - meeting us in the car park to carry bags but the room was fairly miserable. It was very large but the bed was... More

I've just returned from an extended family trip to the Abbeyglen Castle Hotel and have to say that I was very impressed by the whole experience. The staff were very friendly and attentive and in particular the proprietor added a new dimension to customer service. He paid attention to every group throughout dinner and could be found at all times... More

After reading all the fabulous reviews, my boyfriend and I decided to stay at this hotel one night over the Christmas week. We booked one of the more expensive rooms, and while comfortable and roomy, the furnishings were tired and have seen better days (definitely nowhere near what was featured on their brochure). I hate being picky, but for being... More

I've read some of the negative reviews of this remarkable place. And I've no doubt that many are accurate. (I know many are not!). But almost all miss the point of Abbeyglen Castle. This is hoteliership at its very best. Of course there are imperfections but the basics that are required of any good establishment are here in abundance: good... More

What a beautiful hotel. We had a fantastic experience here, although it was only for one night. Definitely the best customer service I have experienced to date. From the moment we walked through the doors we felt very welcome. Every single member of staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. Being vegan we don't normally dine in restaurants due to...

We have been going to the Abbeyglen for about 12 years and have sometimes managed to go twice a year. I wrote a review about it in 2007 but have to update my comments. We originally went as a couple and then my elderly mother started coming along too – soon followed by one of our daughters (who was in... More

We got a voucher to stay in this hotel and after hearing about it and reading such great reviews we were very excited. However when we arrived we were shown to a dark small room. Neither bed side lamps worked therefore it was a choice of all lights on or complete darkness. The shower pressure was terrible and it ran... More
