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

Little gem in county Clare
What a find…. Absolutely idyllic. On arrival you are met by very personable staff of all nationalities. Beautiful, cosy hotel with lots of areas where you can just sit and soak up the atmosphere with a drink and a book. Food is really exceptional at every meal. Hotel decor is to a very high standard and has clearly been given a lot of thought. Everywhere from our bedroom to the bar and the drawing room felt cosy, welcoming and very well designed. Fantastic spot for exploring Cliffs of Moher, Aran islands etc. We stumbled on this hotel travelling between Connemara and Tipperary and we were delighted with our experience.

Cosy and charming stay

FANTASTIC- classic and playful all at once!
OMG I couldn't have loved it more! This place is absolutely darling! It has a prized view of the burren that leads down to the sea. The grounds are gorgeous and there are several nice nature walks you can go on. I loved the rescue pony and donkeys and especially the outdoor and indoor cats! The decor is a beautiful mix of classic and playful- the art collection is really something. I loved the bar, the cozy fire places, the friendly staff and the upscale hominess of the bedroom. I thought the dinner was overpriced but we still enjoyed it- especially the cheese! We hope to be back sometime and will certainly refer other people here.
