Savour your first glimpse of this majestic castle and its enchanting lake, as you pass through the castle gates. This was the ancestral home of the O’Briens of Dromoland who were the Kings of Thomond and whose lineage goes back 1,000 years to Brian Boru, the only High King of Ireland.

This place was nothing short of amazing! I was so glad that we stayed here, I wish it had been more than one night! We signed up for the falconry experience and it was simply amazing. Our room was fit for a king and queen. The breakfast was outstanding, and we also ate at the fig, which was also very good.!! I would highly recommend spending at least a night here if not more!! we also took the history tour, although extremely informative I was hoping to be able to see more of the castle. I did buy the history book at the bookshop to Reed on the airplane ride back home and it is worth every penny!

Wonderful experience! First class all the way. The Bellmen in particular were outstanding for the service and cordiality.

Staying at Dromoland Castle was like stepping into a magical fairytale! This breathtaking historic castle has been beautifully transformed into a luxury hotel while preserving the charm and grandeur of the original 15th-century castle. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated — from the stunning décor to the grand yet incredibly comfortable rooms. Our room opened into the Queen’s Courtyard, complete with a beautiful fountain and lovely gardens that felt straight out of a storybook. We also enjoyed afternoon tea, which was simply delightful and added even more magic to the experience. The service throughout the castle was absolutely impeccable. Every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. I cannot say enough about how delighted we were during our stay. Even though we were only there for one night, it truly felt like home. I was literally crying when we left because I did not want to go! We are already dreaming of returning for a longer stay in the future. An unforgettable experience from beginning to end.

Dromoland Castle Hotel was fantastic! Great service and extremely friendly. They had excellent food at the 2 venues we dined at. There is plenty of things to do for the kids and adults. We played their beautiful golf course and I give it a 10 out of 10. The Castle Hotel was clean and quiet a very comfortable setting. The Castle Hotel is set on a beautiful piece of property with lots of Gardens and walking paths. The indoor pool facilities were great. I would definitely come back when I visit Ireland.
