My wife and I spent two nights at Dromoland in May 2013. I believe this is our fourth visit to this beautiful 5 star hotel. The grounds of the property looked especially beautiful this visit. We had a fabulous time once again. Caroline Sheedy (Reservations) was kind enough to upgrade us to a beautiful and spacious Deluxe room. It was... More

I can not say enough good things about this place. Beautiful scenery, attentive staff, well-appointed room, 4+ star restaurant and a fun bar. It is a very fancy hotel, without being the least bit pretentious. I am not a golfer, but several gentlemen we talked to in the evening raved about the affiliated golf course. Expensive, but worth it.

Dromoland Castle is a wonderful place for getting treated like royalty.As a returning guest, albeit over a dozen years ago, we were treated as if we owned the place. The service was superb, from the bell man, to the front desk, to the wait staff, to the bar tenders. I can think of no negative comments for this property. Absolutely... More

Although it was just a short stay at Dromoland I wish I could have stayed longer. First, it's a castle which, how awesome is it to say you slept in a castle, right? Second, the grounds are amazing. It's right on the golf course and its absolutely beautiful scenery. Third, the rooms are really nice! Fourth, the food was great.... More

We had a girls trip travelling around Europe. And Dromoland Castle was our one stop to relaxation! We could not have been more happy! This was everything we wanted, and so much more. Every single aspect of this hotel is a 5 star hotel. IT is gorgeous yes, however their service is also amazing. We wanted to have a picnic... More

Deluxe Rooms overlooking lake have a very nice view and are spacious. Beds are very comfortable. Large, spacious bathrooms. Breakfast is delicious, with much to choose from. The main restaurant is rather expensive, so we did not have dinner here. Lunch at the Golf Club restaurant was very good. There are rowboats available on the lake; however, they were filled... More

My friends and I arrived at Dromoland Castle at the end of our annual golf outing on our way back to nearby Shannon for our flights home. We were soon glad we had made Adare Manor our home, because while Adare has a casual traditional air about it, Dromoland could claim no such subtlety. While the grounds, manicured golf course,...

The property is just as lovely as the pictures and descriptions indicate. The staff in all areas were great, the rooms uber comfortable, the food delicious. It was much more than we are accustomed to paying for lodging and food, but then again, we don't stay in a castle every day. Price is the only consideration keeping this from a... More

Would recommend taking the golf carts around the grounds - great fun but... More
