From the moment we arrived we could not fault anything in our visit. The rooms were pricey but we were here for a special occasion and enjoyed every minute. The staff from housekeeping to reception were all lovely and available to help at anytime. The doormen were constantly on the move but always stopped to check everything was ok. The cleanliness of every bedroom, restaurants, bar, etc was top notch which staff constantly going around checking in this. The food was delicious, with local/Irish sourced ingredients. I particular enjoyed the breakfast with a wide variety of choice. My personal favourite was the French toast. The bar also had a nice food menu which was just as delicious even though it wasn’t the main restaurant. The gym was good and had just what I needed to continue with my routine and the swimming pool was well maintained and included in our stay. A wonderful experience.

From the moment I walked from the carpark the experience began. We had been to Dromoland a couple of times before with the kids, a good few years ago I don’t know why I stayed away so long John the doorman started to walk towards me with a true Irish welcome, a genuine welcome , taking my bags and carrying them up the steps. It was lovely to see many of the same staff as our last visit Emma from reservations had called me a week before to book the dinner time and confirm reservation. What a lovely room we got overlooking the lake. Everything you could possibly need was in the room ,as well as complimentary Dromoland chocolate and shortbread. Those little personal touches don’t go un noticed. That lovely experience continued into the spa where Patricia gave me a wonderful customised massage and tucked me into comfy bed in relaxation room afterwards , where I promptly fell asleep. I remember all the names because each of them left such a positive impression with me and deserve to be called out . Dinner that evening was exceptional. The maitre d( I don’t remember his name shamefully), as he also went above and beyond with a personalised service at dinner and also the following day at breakfast. He was such a lovely man, so helpful and we had a bit of banter too! What comes across from all the staff is the culture of service in Dromoland, going above and beyond to provide an amazing experience. I will not allow such a long time to pass before I return again. To the new manager Mark, you should be proud to have inherited such a fantastic team .

We flew into Dublin and then drove to the Cliffs of Moher the next day to get another experience of Ireland. We decided to stay at Dromoland because when else are you going to have the chance to stay in a castle?!?! Every SINGLE person went above and beyond to truly give you the experience of being in a castle. From the porter to the wait staff in the restaurants (Erik at Earl of Thomond) to the attention to detail by the bartender in making your drink, everything was 10+. At dinner we listened to the beautiful music of an Irish harp and then another night, had a nightcap outside the bar with a local Irish musician. The food was excellent, the room was beautiful, the grounds were refreshing and peaceful....I could have stayed there forever. The morning we left, we did a free history tour of the castle with Ms. O'Brien. It took about an hour and a half and was so interesting. You won't be disappointed if you stay here!

The hotel lives up to all expectations. Set in magnificent grounds with plenty of activities… golf, fishing, shooting, archery, spa etc… it’s a wonderful hotel. Lots of eating options… from the golf club (which stopped serving food at 4:30 when we were there), the bar and the restaurant… there’s something to suit everyone. Staff were fantastic… special mention to Matthew in the restaurant who was an absolute credit to the hotel. Room was lovely, food was lovely, facilities and grounds lovely… and staff lovely. What more can I say - a wonderful luxury retreat when you want to treat yourselves!

We recently stayed here in a stateroom for 2 nights to cap off our tour of Ireland. This castle stay exceeded our already high expectations. The service here is impeccable and it was fun just to chat up with the staff and hear their stories and experiences. The room was very large and had plenty of storage. It was low season and the hotel only had a few guests while we were there so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The golf course is right by the castle and there is a pool and fitness room by the Pro shop. It is by no means an inexpensive hotel but I would encourage you to at least stay a couple of nights if you wanted to check a castle stay off your bucket list. We didn’t want to leave and could have easily stayed there for a few weeks. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.
