We stayed at Ashford right before Christmas and it was a perfect holiday. We had a gorgeous historic room with soaring ceilings and a four poster bed. During our 4 day stay we never left the castle grounds; instead spending our days walking, hawking and relaxing in the lovely sitting rooms. High tea is delicious and all services were impeccable....

Myself and my family have been using the Ashford Castle Hotel since 1976 and during many visits I am always surprised at the level of service and quality in all areas. To keep such high standards is remarkable and any visit is looked forward to with relish. Long may it continue to provide top level food and service. More

This property is advertising widely at present and offering heavily discounted rates. The hotel is in Receivership (For American readers this is sort of Chapter 11) but I see no reason why it will not emerge from this process unchanged (and all bookings intact and unaffected). Be assured that you will not lose money booking the hotel now, in many... More

We went to Cong last Sept. 2011, my partner is a big fan of the movie The Quiet Man so he treated us to a night in Ashford Castle. We were welcomed at the gate by an extremely friendly gentleman (even though he was standing out in the rain) who directed us to the main hotel, staff were extremely friendly... More

Upon check-in we were given an upgrade. Our room was stunning. A large living area, large beds, bathroom and a wonderful fireplace. The castle and grounds are awesome with plenty of activities on offer. We enjoyed long walks around the lake and a spot of clay pigeon shooting, a nice unusual activity. The main dinning room and food is a... More

From the warm welcome, to the very comfortable room, to the superb dinners, to the elegant Waterford chandeliers, to the beautiful grounds, this impressive former home of the Guinness family (among other great families of Ireland's past) does not fail to live up to expectations. Indeed, the staff made us feel as if we were the most important guests to... More

After a puncture en route to Galway from Dublin, we eventually arrived at Ashford Castle. We were brought straight up to our Room by a member of the Reception Staff who talked us through the different areas of the Castle. We were given a Room in the Tower Block (top of the house) and overlooking the river to the side... More

We came across the castle by accident and decided to stay there. We met a couple leaving whose daughter had just got married there and they could not fault the place. We stayed on a Sun night in Nov so got a good package discount for room and dinner. We took a long walk around the grounds, which were lovely,... More
