Reviews for Gregans Castle Hotel
Wonderful visit to the Burren!!
My husband and I had an absolute wonderful stay at Gregan's Castle. I can't think of anything that we didn't like. Every staff member was friendly. Check in and out was easy. The room was cozy and the bed very comfortable. The bath had warm towels and high end soap supplies. The décor throughout the Castle was warm and inviting. When we arrived we had a delicious toastie and pot of teat in the bar in front of a roaring fire - what could be better? The breakfast spread was amazing - I've never seen anything like it - everything you could possibly think of!! The dining room overlooks a beautiful garden which just makes eating all the more enjoyable. We ate dinner both nights in the restaurant - great food and wine and very attentive staff. I can highly recommend Gregan's Castle!!

Fabulous experience!
Absolutely loved this charming hotel located in The Burren. Beautiful views, the friendliest staff and exquisite gourmet food using homegrown produce and local producers!! It was one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had. A stunning hotel encompassing old world charm and yet modern chic styling. Loved it!!!!

Highlight of our honeymoon!
Gregans and the surrounding area was my wife and my favorite part of our 2-week honeymoon in Ireland. The staff at Gregans were so friendly and accommodating the entire time. We enjoyed our stay very much and hope that we can make another visit as soon as we're able in the coming years!

Disappointing
We had stayed in 5 similarly rated properties on this trip. This rated poorly based on location, accessibility and value.
