My partner and I enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch at Gregan's. The fixed menu experience was absolutely wonderful: the progression of dishes, of flavours and texture was absolutely perfect. Everything was delicous and prepared with meticolous care and attention to detail. The place is beautiful as well. Tea in the drawing room to conclude our meal was truly special. A... More

This is a spectacular place! It’s rather remote, but well worth the drive (it’s probably difficult to get there without a car). We received an upgrade without asking for it and tea and cakes when arriving. Everyone was very kind and helpful. The rooms downstairs where fabulous with a fireplace, nice (authentic) furniture, interesting books and classical music. The three-course... More

The staff were great and attentive, the dining was such a gourmet experience, and the room was so lovely, traditional with antiques, yet modern bath-great combination! Grounds were lovely to wwalk even in... More

From the reviews on Tripadvisor I expected the beautiful hotel but I was so disappointed I felt like leaving early. Our room decor was beautiful but I noticed mouse droppings on the closet floor as soon as I arrived. While I tried to convince myself that they were old I could never get the thought out of my head that... More

My partner and I have just spent a glorious night at Gregans Castle and from the moment we walked in the door you can see why they have won so many awards this year The food was without doubt the best we have tasted in a very long time. We opted for the seven course menu and although at first... More

We stayed here for one night and we thoroughly enjoyed Gregan's Castle. The hotel itself was lovely, nice and quiet and very relaxing, the smell of the turf fires everywhere was so comforting. Really friendly staff, most helpful. We were very happy with our room, really big and spacious, not the most modern but that's not really what i had... More

Wonderful country hotel in a truly peaceful setting. From the warm friendly greeting on arrival to when we checked out, the staff were delightful. The bedrooms are very comfortable, as are the bar and guest lounge room. The food here is fantastic and should not be missed. We had the 9 course degustation, which is easily one of the best... More

We stayed in Gregans Castle for one night. It is a beautifully appointed hotel with impeccable service. Dinner was a real gastronomic adventure - produced by the excellent and inventive Finnish chef. However, one would not want to be really hungry - portions were extremely small and, were it not for the cheeseboard, we would have gone to bed hungry... More

Gregan's Castle is a lovely country house hotel in a very peaceful setting. The bedroom we had was spacious and well furnished. All the staff were very attentive and friendly. Dinner was wonderful. The chef deserves all the awards he has received. The Burren area is beautiful with plenty to do and see. I would recommend driving along the coast... More
