About the Hotel

A thirteenth century castle buried deep in a wooded parkland sounds like the setting for a fairy tale, but really it is home to the exclusive Ashford Castle. Standing impressively on the shores of Lough Corrib in County Mayo, Ireland, Ashford Castle is a monument to a fascinating and timeless history. Once the Guinness Family estate, the Castle has since opened its doors as an exclusive luxury hotel in 1939. Where else could one spend the morning learning how to fly a hawk at the School of Falconry, escape to the Walled Garden for a romantic picnic, and relax in the afternoon with a soothing massage at the spa? Filled with family heirlooms, rich furnishings and priceless objets dâ€(TM)art, Ashford presents the chance to enjoy the splendor of a bygone era in comfort and style.

Staying at the Ashford Castle

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

This was such a magical experience for our entire family! The staff was extremely helpful, kind and always made sure we had everything we needed. We also did the Falcon Walk and this was an incredible experience for our entire family! We learned so much and captured some amazing photos of the experience. Thank you greatly for taking such great care of us! Definitely a bucket list checked off!

Perhaps my expectations were too high? There was nothing quite wrong with Ashford Castle...the staff was efficient and accommodating. Our state room was fine. I just couldn't get over feeling like I had joined a tour group. There was a lot of hustle bustle, tour buses coming and going... just not what I expected. It seemed a bit like Disney World. We had very nice experience clay shooting as the instructor was fabulous. The food was good. My spa treatment was excellent. I would skip the tea as it was just ok. All in all, I did not perceive the value here. Good but not great.

Great place. Fair play to Ciara she sourced a lemon for me when I was desperate. This needs to be 100 characters so just bulking it out now

A Delightful Stay at Ashford Castle

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Ashford Castle was our last stay in Ireland and it turned out to be one of our favorite places. The castle is magnificent looking and the grounds are beautiful. Cong, the nearby village where much of the movie The Quiet Man was filmed, was so quaint and charming. We stayed one night in the castle itself and I wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel amenities are excellent. But I think it’s the staff that makes the stop special. Everyone goes out of their way to be helpful. For example, if you can’t find a room, they don’t just give you directions. Someone will take you directly there. Yes it is fairly expensive if you are staying in the castle itself. But there are times in life when you actually get what you pay for and this was one of them.

An exquisite adventure in County Cork

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Ashford Castle is one of the best places I've ever stayed. The bed is incredible--you won't want to get out. The grounds are beautiful. My wife and I spent a great deal of time just walking and enjoying the beauty. The food is great. The service is awesome.

This is one of the finest properties we have ever visited. It is a beautiful castle, but it is also a world class hotel in the most beautiful setting you can imagine. The grounds are large and bikes are available for guests, the fishing on the river and the lake are first rate, and the service is unmatched. We have stayed twice and can't wait to go back again.
