The view of the castle, as you enter is breathtaking, it is set on hundreds of acres, on the edge of a beautiful lake. I was lucky enough to stay in Room 500, the highest room in the castle on top of a turret, and also the room that Maureen O'Hara stayed in during the filming of "The Quiet Man"... More

We wanted to do something special for our anniversary and could not have made a better choice. Although it is very expensive you are treated like royalty from the moment you arrive and the doorman (David) greets you at the front door. The scenery is breat taking, the food is fabulous and the staff wonderful. Everyone should visit once. More

The Staff is , to a member, courteous, professional, attentive,(without being over familiar), and there is an atmosphere of... More

Don't think twice about going! GO!! Price is worth it. Staff very friendly, I was not expecting that. Room are large and beautiful. We ate at the Dungeon, gorgeous food.

One of the better known and well established luxury resorts is the Ashford Castle in Mayo, 45 minutes from Galway. A long time favorite of the rich and famous - from Princess Grace to Tony Blair to John Travolta – you can see over a hundred photographs of celebrities at the castle’s mezzanine floor. Built in 1228, Ashford was founded... More

If you can possibly work Ashford Castle into your Ireland package, you can prepare to be wowed!! With boat cruises, falconry school, complimentary sauna and steam room, and a memorabilia room that includes pictures of the management with Brad Pitt, Barbra Streisand, Prince Edward, and Ronald Reagan, the whole experience is incredible!!

We stayed in Ashford for our anniversary and it couldn't have been more perfect! The grounds are beautifully taken care of and the castle is absolutely breath taking. Don't believe any of the negative reviews you read on here. Make sure to do the Hawk Walk. More

We read a lot of news about this property before booking our two nights stay as part of our trip to Ireland beginning of may 2012 so I mistakenly thought to know what to expect upon arriving there. No way. Just a few seconds after entering the estate (and being cleared from the guest list at the external gate) you... More
