Ashford Castle, Cong

Its. A. Castle. Well worth it. From the breathtaking initial approach over the bridge we felt in the lap of luxury. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The finishes and decor give a true feel of deep history. Complimentary golf is a major benefit, the course is beautiful. Easy to spend a day meandering the grounds and exploring the gardens. The path into the walled garden was well thought out..the reveal after the final turn makes you feel as if you are discovering a secret garden. Plants and trees from all over the world. I've never seen a forest like it! Redwoods and giant sequoias next to bamboo and Japanese maples is something you wont see many places! Take the time for the lake tour, lots of cool history and fantastic photo opportunities.

The highlight of our honeymoon. With breathtaking views, elaborately decorated interiors, and stunning castle grounds, this place outshines any other place I’ve stayed. The staff was wonderful, food was delicious, and room was clean and comfortable. We LOVED the falconry experience and even just walking the castle grounds around sunset. Could not speak highly enough of this place.

Unbelievable experience!!!! From the moment you pull up to the gate, you feel like royalty! This was the most amazing experience I've ever had at a hotel!!! This place is actually a castle and they don't hold back on making sure you feel that way! They were waiting with complimentary drinks when we arrived at the reception area! While having drinks, they check you in and then give an informational tour of the castle, all the while giving you drinks!!! The rooms are gorgeous and actually state of the art! We had complimentary sherry waiting for us when we arrived at the room! They perform turndown service in the evening. The robes and slippers were an added touch! The breakfast was beyond expectations for a hot/cold breakfast service! The staff are beyond spectacular, waiting to provide you with anything, large or small! If you can think it up, they will find a way to make it happen!!!

The castle is amazing and absolute must do! It is worth every penny and there are so many activities to do on the property. The staff is very friendly, the grounds are beautiful, the food is delicious, and the rooms are clean and out of this world! You have to stay here, you will not regret it!!

Beautiful hotel with stunning grounds. Plenty of activities to do on the grounds and great town to walk around little shops to buy things. We did the package with breakfast and dinner, both of which were amazing. Drinks in the bar were delicious. You can spend a couple of hours just wandering inside the castle and seeing everything. Don't miss the Irish Wolf Hounds in the drawing room after their morning walk!
