Outstanding experience!

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

A Fairytale Stay at Dromoland Castle

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

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.

Dromoland Castle Hotel is an experience like no other! The grounds and interior are absolutely stunning, and from check-in to check-out, you are greeted by the most attentive staff. The food at every restaurant on the property was delicious, including a lovely breakfast each morning. The bed was also one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. We had a falconry experience on the property that was definitely a highlight of our trip. This was the beginning of our Ireland journey and such a special treat. Dromoland is also conveniently located near several wonderful day trips, including the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. We would return in a heartbeat!
