It's expensive, but it is luxury personified. All of the staff are very cordial and professional and treat you like royalty. They just can't do enough. Recommend a room with a lake view in the old section. Rooms are spacious, and a walk of the grounds is very romantic.

We stayed at the Ashford Castle on the last night of our tour. I only wish we stayed there on every night of the tour. We arrived by boat on the lake and from the very first sight of the castle we knew we were in for a treat. If you ever get to stay here, please take advantage of... More

We loved, loved, loved Ashford Castle! What an amazing experience! From the time we pulled into the carpark, to the time that our car left the estate, we were made to feel like royalty. I honestly thought that they had mistaken one of us for someone famous, although there is nothing remarkable about either of us! The castle is surrounded... More

If you are planning a castle tour vacation in Ireland, add Ashford to your list! We stayed in four castles during our trip: Cabra, Kilronan, Ashford and Dunboyne. And, while the other castles had unique and redeeming qualities, Ashford Castle was by far the best all around. From the moment we arrived, we were awestruck by the beauty of this... More
