Reviews for Dromoland Castle Hotel

Dromoland Castle - MAGNIFICENT!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We had such a lovely and memorable stay at Dromoland. It all begins with the incredible staff who are beyond 5 Star-worthy. The service across the board was impeccable. We had the luxury of getting in on the falconry experience and it was truly memorable. As far as the Castle itself and the grounds, it is undoubtedly in my Top5 ever. What else can you say - YOU ARE STAYING IN A CASTLE!!! Thank you to the Dromoland staff for what was without question an unbelievable first visit and definitely not our last.

Simply The Best

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

We just got back from a week at Dromoland castle for my daughter's wedding. Our experience there greatly exceeded expectations. The wedding could not have gone better. The event space was beautiful. We were blown away by the food at dinner the evening before and the wedding reception. Our friends are still talking about the risotto, beef Wellington and the fillet. It's rare to experience fine dining at an event, but that's exactly what you provided for us. Our family has traveled extensively. We can happily report that Dromoland is the best overall experience that we have ever had in a hotel. The castle and grounds are gorgeous and meticulously maintained. Most historic hotels have fusty guest rooms. Dromoland had modern, luxurious rooms with state of the art fittings. Everything in the rooms was great, but the beds and showers were world class. Our guests were raving about their accommodations. The common areas were fun to spend time in. The live music was a treat. The food at the castle is by far the best food we had in Ireland. It would hold its own against any fine dining establishment. The bride and groom had an amazing dinner in the Earl of Thomond restaurant. I had the best fish and chips of my life in the Gallery and was pleased to quaff my first pint of Guinness in Ireland at the cocktail bar. Breakfast was an event in itself. The food and service were amazing. We commandeered a large table and spent a couple of hours every morning with a rotating cast of family and friends. The excellent staff took it all in stride. The activities were great- my family was captivated by the falconry. Jane's hotel tour was a lot of fun. One friend played an enjoyable round of golf and our kids tried skeet shooting- all were very happy. Many of us had excursions organized by Dromoland. The drivers were courteous and knowledgeable. The thing that sets Dromoland apart from every other hotel that we have ever stayed at is the level of service. The staff are charming and amazingly helpful. They often anticipated our needs. The attention to detail was awesome. The rooms and common areas were meticulously clean. Turndown service was lovely. The housekeeping staff would even tidy up chargers and cords when they made their rounds. The wedding and our extended stay at Dromoland was a peak experience for our family and friends. We can't recommend the castle highly enough. We should have stayed a few more days just to relax.

This was an incredible few days. Our room was gorgeous with a very comfortable bed, huge bathroom and very comfy chairs to sit in. We enjoyed coffee in our room overlooking the incredible scenery. I had a massage and facial that were incredibly with Emma. The food was outstanding. This stay was amazing- we absolutely loved it! Gym was small but really great for us as well! Very friendly staff!

The room, bed duvet pillows were the most comfortable, we had 3 very restful nights sleep. Staff couldn’t do enough to help and the quality of breakfast and dinner there was exceptional.
