We had a ball over the June bank holiday weekend at Ashford Castle. They had only reopened following COVID closures but all of the protocols, sanitising etc made us feel very safe without impacting on our enjoyment.The food and wine were faultless, the spa was excellent, paddle boarding with Sophie was a highlight. It was my birthday and the friendly staff made it so special. Would highly recommend.

A truly fantastic two nights spent. Extremely well looked after, beautiful room, wonderful staff and delicious food. The staff are so attentive, noting is ever a no. Enjoyed playing the 9 holes of golf and clay pigeon shooting. Lovely evening doing the wine tasting with Louise and Paul. Could not have hoped for a better start to our honeymoon. Can't wait to go back!

We had a great 3 night stay in with our friends after lock down. Even though the hotel is just back open, everything was perfect. This is really an amazing place to stay, but again it’s the staff that make it really special. Everyone we met was exceptional. Our Room 203 had a great view of the lake and was spotless. We had dinners in the Dungeon , George V and Cullen's. All the meals we had including breakfasts were just perfect . Special mention to some new members of the team we met, Louise in the George V and Jordan in Cullen's. We cant wait to get back again this December all going well.

A family treat during these covid times .. From booking to our departure the service was nothing but exemplary. Ashford is known for being one of Ireland’s best properties. It is the staff that make your stay unforgettable- professional but personable . The small touch’s and attention to detail. Food and beverage excellent - superb meal in the George on both evenings . Thank you all at the castle for making my family feel very welcomed and looked after .

My wife and I stayed in Ashford Castle for three nights just before Christmas 2020 and was one of the best hotel stays I've had. There is something magical about this hotel, from the surroundings (it's a freaking castle after all) to the staff, who genuinely seem to love their jobs and looking after people. The food is amazing and the service is truly first class, even with the COVID restrictions in place it didn't detract from our enjoyment of this stay. I would highly recommend doing the hawk walk if visiting, it's an unusual activity for a hotel to put on. Tom our guide was so passionate about the birds and had incredible knowledge. It was a joy to be around these beautiful birds and to see them fly. This was our first stay in Ashford and I think the best compliment I can give it is that we've already booked our next stay in it, which we're really looking forward to.…
