    Continues to exceed expectations.
    All of the reviews extolling the excellence of Ashford Castle can be believed. It is hard to put down in writing, how you feel while staying as Ashford Castle. Whilst the Castle itself and its grounds are magnificent, the thing that exceeds this is the staff. They are natural, unpretentious, kind, professional and extremely competent. Our stay at the Castle is always the highlight of our trip to Ireland and we have stayed at the Castle on several occasions. It was especially "special" this year as we were celebrating our 44th anniversary. The staff ensured that we enjoyed this occasion in a totally unforgettable way. The many well wishes, the "happy anniversary" pillow on our bed and little gifts will live in our memory forever. What will also live in our memory is the kindness and consideration of the staff. To be greeted by Robert and Martin in the George V ensures a memorable evening. We were looked after on a couple of nights by Andy who went out of his way to make sure we had everything we could ever anticipate. I am sure he was concerned we were not eating enough, but his kindness and unobtrusive professionalism was remarkable. Our breakfasts were made terrific by Breege and Eleanor who anticipated every need and even remembered our preferences in the following days. We loved the Falcon walk with Mareen. she was so knowledgeable and interesting. A special thank you to Emer on reception. All the staff make you feel that their only role is to make us happy and Emer is exceptional in this area. Laura really hit the spot with the hot chocolate with a good slurp of Baileys Irish Cream after the Falcon Walk. Just terrific. Her recommendations for our daily trips were so very helpful and ensured we maximised our days. The management are to be congratulated in the ethos of their staff. The thing we always notice in our travels is that whilst we go to many fine places, we rarely see the same face year after year, at Ashford we see the same friendly faces and this is testament to management in ensuring their staff are happy. This makes the stay so much more enjoyable with familiar faces, Paddy helping superbly with the luggage, Susan managing the cleaning to a degree you could perform surgery in any room and the food is in a class of its own. Of course we will be back, this should be on everyone's bucket list.…

    Superb. All in all a wonderful place to stay. What’s not to like. Phenomenal rooms, impeccable service, wonderful ambience, great walks, resident Irish wolf hounds and hawks. Great breakfasts. My only criticism was checkin. It was a muddle and went on interminably.( filled with needless explanations) And my only other problem was the George 5 restaurant. Food was sadly underwhelming. Crab was tasteless and the venison served with great aplomb, just ok. Wine selection was wonderful and the service excellent( apart from our primary waiter who needed English lessons). But having said all this, my criticisms are minor. It is without doubt a truly wonderful property and we will definitely return.( Will just try the food in the ‘Dungeon’ next time)…

    Absurdly Fantastic
    I could go to Ashford Castle and never leave. They have a spa, horses, and Irish Wolfhounds. The housekeeping service was impeccable, the doormen, delightful, and the waiters, on top of their game! The food and wine selection in the King George V room was tasty. Everyone associated with the Ashford Castle holds a place in my heart because they made my honeymoon so special.…
