Never left the castle. Nice way to end trip, relax and enjoy the grounds. Plenty to do.

Beautiful grounds. Unfortunately placed in area they were painting. The Thomond room and service was excellent.

We stayed at Dromoland on our final night, and it was the perfect finale for an exceptional trip. The staff is fabulous; the facility is well appointed, and the food was great.

Enjoyed everything about the Dromoland Castle. Very nice!

I have never experienced a stay like this in my life. Words cannot decribe the impeccible service of this establishment. I loved every minute I was there and wished my stay was longer. I look forward to returning.

Such a beautiful property. We even took advantage of their falconry and shooting classes!

I had no idea what to expect, but a night in a castle sounded good. My wife and I were blown away. It was an indescribable experience.

simply perfect, had absolutely no desire to leave the estate

Dromoland Castle was more than we could have imagined. The customer service was excellent, the food was DELICIOUS. The grounds were gorgeous. The staff was amazing. The room service packs were a great addition to our stay. It was above and beyond any hotel. They indeed lived-up to and surpassed the 5 star rating. Our room was gorgeous. When we left in the morning after breakfast, we had forgotten something from our room, when we went back to get it, it had already had maid service. Aiden, the valet/bell-hop? was well versed in the history of the castle and very helpful to answer any questions. Room service was fast. Dinner and breakfast were delicious, and accomodating. Every aspect of Dromoland was perfect!

high class hotel at high class prices. Not worth staying for just one night. Need to stay longer to enjoy the amenities.

It was an honor and an pleasure to stay in a real castle. The staff were friendly and amazing especially Dara (waiter in the bar).

Beds were not comfortable

Just another beautiful place on the trip. Only spent a few hours.

unbelievablly fantastic. Food was superb.

Our waiter was in training...not good for the price of dinner. We came down right at 7am for breakfast as we had a plane to catch and that seemed to annoy the staff. Our room needed more than a small fan as it was so hot & still and the dining room was hot & still too.

Very helpful staff, and great food. We were upgraded here too, great room with only one draw back, it had two beds instead of one... Not too big an issue though.

Will stay longer here, too.

Could not check in at the posted 1400 hours, had to wait for room. Felt rushed by the staff when first arrived to get out of the car and into the hotel. The shower was broken and could not turn off (it happened twice) turning the room into a steam bath. We stayed in the newest part of the accommodations, would have liked the older part. We loved the hotel and would stay there again. The Earl dining room was absolutely exceptional as was the Fig Room by the golf course.

As with our experience at several of the other hotels. Dromoland was beseiged with holiday guests, a special antique show, a wedding, and a Rolls-Royce rally. Our late arrival did not help the matter. We were unable to partake of any of the Hotel's activities and the dining situation was difficult at best. We ended up having to eat in the bar with several smokers. Despite the difficulties, our accomodations were excellent and the staff coordinating the "set down" and the service for our departure were superb.

outstanding place to stay !!

wonderfull last night, dinning was exceptional

Would be fantastic to have wifi in the rooms.

We loved our stay in the castle on our final night. It was a great idea.

We really needed to stay two nights there to fully experience what they had to offer. Would have been nice to know I needed a jacket to attend dinner, I was coming from Africa so I was limited on what I could bring but could have brought one if known. Very high class and they upgraded my room automatically without me asking. Beautiful place but did not feel very comfortable there, very high society type people or at least folks who don't know how to talk about anything other than work and politics and not very friendly to strangers. The staff was wonderful. Nice place but least enjoyed by us.

very beautiful

We had been told by upgrading we would be in a nicer room in the old original part of the castle. Although our room was nice (after asking to be moved since our first room had the window open and dead flies on the carpet floor and in the window sill) it was still in the new part.

A fabulous experience....they upgraded us to a suite for no additional cost and took care of us in a five star manner. The food was excellent as well.

Very expensive but well worth it

This facility relies heavily on its reputation. It is lacking in customer service and the rooms are shabby. They had worn and torn furniture in them. This hotel doesn't have a lift and basic modern amenities. It is overpriced for what you get.

Thanks in part to Sir Conor O'Brien, the staff made us both feel like we were coming home. It was a great experience.

Great place!

Dromoland Castle is a wonderful place. We were offered an upgrade upon arrival for 25 pounds per person. We took the offer and were upgraded to a stateroom - a great enhancement to our stay. We have talked about returning to Dromoland Castle for a multi day stay and a vacation at the resort in its own sake.

Everything was brilliant. The Hotel knew we were on our Honeymoon and gave us quite a few perks for free, as we are both newlyweds we weren't exactly rolling in the dough. The service I received from my contact at myguideireland was great, she gave brilliant service every step of the way and really made our honeymoon extra special. I am very very glad that she suggested Dromoland Castle for our stay as it was everything we could've hoped for in a Hotel.

The perfect ending to our dream vacation! -Danny Dunson

Again the castle and grounds were nice but getting there was not a breeze however this one was easier thanthe others due to it's location.

I lovd every minute here - wished we could have stayed longer!

beautiful

At check out waited over 30 minutes and 2 phone calls before we pulled our 50 lb. bags up and down about fifteen steps before getting to the lobby. Not what I think of as a 5 star hotel.

Beautiful Castle and great friendly bartenders. Wish we could have spent more time there.

Love that we had internet with the TV in our room, to check our emails.

The best. Had we known more about this hotel, it might have been a choice for a longer visit. The staff, accommodations etc. were all far beyond what we thought we would get.

We took my wife's parents to Dromoland as an anniversary present & they were blown away. Like Ashford it is a world-class hotel...and the added bonus is a great golf course which is a serious test of skill. We had dinner in the hotel on the Saturday night - Fantastic. It is a pricey but it is worth it as a really special treat.

The staff at Dromoland Castle provided us with an upgrade when they learned it was our honeymoon. They gave us a lovely card, provided us with roses in our room amd made us feel as if we were the only guests to which they had to cater. It was an exceptional experience!

Beautiful.

As previously mentioned, this hotel was exceptional and all enjoyed the hotel, rooms and service. The facilities for sauna, steam, pool and spa were not in or adjacent to the Cstle but they did provide jitney service to and from the ool area and the proshop. Three of the rooms here had interior/courtyard views rather than external views that I would have expected when we set up the trip!! However, the triple was on the top floor of the newer building and was exceptional. If it were just Ruth and I we certainly would have requested a different room and having stayed at this hotel also in '98 we were disappointed in the location of the three rooms. And since I do nnot know what the payment was on a hotel by hotel basis I can't relate to anything relative to value here. A couple of the hotels, however did identify my cost per person....ie. Adare Manor, so I knew what those rooms cost. Also Aston. Now that I am back it would certainly be interesting to know what the costs were and whehter there was some cost for breakfast different than the posted full breakfast. A couple times members of the group did not eat or limited their intake to cereal and juice. This hotel was also exceptional service for dinner, reception and consierge. the on-duty consierge showed us to our rooms and was also the gal that on checkout morning called Ballynahinch for me to tell about lost items.

The most beautiful castle!!! What a lovely way to spend our last evening in Ireland. I recommend archery as an activity during the day. It was quick, but really fun.

I enjoyed this stay of course, but it's a little to commerical for me.

We had a wonderful start to our honeymoon here, and will always treasure the memories.

Dromland Castle was the highlight of our honymoon. If we ever get a chance to go back Dromoland Castle will be the place we will stay. It was Incridable,unforgettable.

We found Dromoland to be exquisite.

beautiful from outside, but it was not what I had expected from inside, no big entrance hall, narrow hallways, etc.

Luxurious deluxe rooms in the castle, standard rooms in more modern wing. Five star all the way.

A real castle !! Rooms are very spacious and very well equiped. Ideal for honey moon but very expensive for the frenchmarket.

A beautiful castle with a nice view at the lake. You feel like a king or a queen there.

They were extremely accomadating. We arrived early to check in, we had a long flight and were honeymooners and needed to rest. They allowed us to check in early to get some rest and upgraded us because we were on our honeymoon. It was wonderful.

Wish we could have stayed longer

most beautiful place I have ever stayed in

Food, though very good, was not quite as good as expected. The 1st night we ate in the informal restaurant and the 1st part of the meal was excellent but then the waitress basically disappeared and we had to get the barman to track her down so we could get our bill. He got it but she never did reappear.
