We arrived at Abbeyglen after a full day of traveling. Very easy check in and the room was very nice, good size room with a fireplace, and a very nice bathroom. We were informed of a champagne reception at 6:30 where the owner, Brian Hughes, gave a bit of history of Abbeyglen and a chance to mingle with the other... More

First I was in contact with the hotel regarding bicycle rentals. They were very fast to reply with all the information needed to rent bikes. Next upon arrival there was a staffer in the parking lot greeting us to take our luggage to our room. Very great after a long day of travel. Our room was gorgeous, the bathroom was... More

We arrived somewhat late in the evening and were immediately ushered in to the bar area where there was unlimited complementary champagne and hors d'oeuvres. The crowd was lively and friendly, reflecting the attitude of the staff. Complementary photos were slipped under our door during the night. Our host knew everybody's name and made us all feel at home. The... More

This was a wonderful 3 night stay. The weather was pretty grim but the atmosphere and the ambiance more than made up for it. Some of the other reviewers thought it was tired. If you want a new plastic hotel then go to one of the chains. It takes people and character to create ambiance. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, the... More

I had read many reviews before we stayed here so was hoping that we would end up in a nice bedroom as we dont often stay in castles! Luck was with us and we were given a fabulous room with huge four poster bed, gas fire and at least five windows with a beautiful view. I managed to see other... More

We were travelling through Western Ireland and stayed at the Abbey Glen Castle Hotel. Host Brian Hughes invites the quests to a champagne cocktail and guests from all over the world arrive and within an hour we are talking to one another. Most other hotels don't do this sort of thing and it is a welcome treat. Later in the... More

I stayed on Abbeyglen Castel Hotel last August recommended and booked by the Tourist Office in Galway. What a disappointment this hotel was! You assume that being a foreign tourist a Tourist Office would recommend you something 100% right, so there I went to see beautiful Conemmara and its capital. I arrived exausted and really didn't have any strength to... More

We have visited The Abbey Glen over the last 12 years. We go at least once sometimes twice a year. The rooms are beautifully appointed with four poster bed, sitting area, gas fire (which is seldom required as the hotel is always warm) and lovely bathroom. The food is outstanding; the evening meals (which are included in the price) is... More

Other than Gilbert, the noisy parrot in the lobby, the Abbeyglen provided a relaxing and stunning place to stay. Located above Clifden, views are beautiful. The rooms are large. Ours had a gas fireplace, a sitting area and a large bathroom with claw footed tub. Internet is available in the lobby, but not the rooms. Canopied beds were adequate, but... More

The Abbeyglen Castle was recommended to us by a friend and although we only stayed one night it was very hard to fault anything about the place. It is in a lovely setting, the staff were all excellent (and some of them very entertaining!) and it had a really relaxed atmosphere. We were upgraded to a superior room which was... More
