Stayed in Gregan's Castle at end of April 2013 as part of trip to visit the Burren. Have stayed in many hotels in Europe over the years and this is one of the best, no formalities, old country house feel, friendly owners and staff and wonderful surroundings. The food in the restaurant is exceptional and beautifully presented and I wish... More

Run by lovely people and with a sweeping view of farmland and the Burren with a glimpse of Galway Bay in the distance. Birdfeeders hung outside attract the most beautiful birds, common in western Ireland, I guess, but new to me. The hotel is not full at the moment and the owners upgraded me to the Martello Suite, a large... More

I booked two rooms at Gregans Castle hotel in February, 2013 for two nights in May. This was for a trip for my wife and I (coming from the Continent) and my Mother, who was meeting us in Ireland from the States for our first family trip to Ireland (for the Gathering). I booked the 'special internet' pre-paid rate, which... More

Having family in the area eliminates the need for staying at a local establishment. However, no trip to the Burren would be complete without tea at Gregan's Castle. I told my cousin Mary that should I ever become an heiress I would sit in a chair and look out at the sea and drink tea in Gregan's Castle every day... More

We selected Gregan's for the end of our trip because of past positive experiences as well as our love for Clare County and the relative proximity to Shannon Airport for our return home. The food quality and presentation was AMAZING for dinner and the service in all fronts was impecable. The only negative was that our 1st floor suite was... More

The hotel itself, decor, room comfort, overall feeling was super. Really looked forward to dinner and it was a real disappointment. The 'caramelized' duck breast was far from caramelized and only half a duck breast, the fat, which in my mind should always be rendered down during cooking was still solid and I had to remove it before I could...

My wife and I ventured back to the Burren during a rainy Irish April. The highlight was a stay at Gregans, which we had not visited for twenty years. Friendliest staff, comfortable room. Dinner was among the top five meals in twenty visits to Ireland. Should have planned better to stay longer.

I arrived late one night with two friends. We had been driving around Ireland for a few days and were making lodging plans as we went. I had called earlier in the day to ask if a triple was available, but I hadn't booked it as I wasn't sure we'd be making it up the coast from Dingle. Then around... More

Perhaps my expectations were too high after studying the website but there was just that little something that stopped my weekend here moving from good to great. The Burren is beautiful and you can't beat the coastal scenery so the location is superb. Staff were very friendly and great at making you feel relaxed & at home. Our room was... More
