Gregans Castle Hotel

Feels like a comfortable and beautiful cashmere sweater you've loved for years. It feels like a fiends home, eclectic and familiar. The staff are remarkable. I splurged for my birthday and was treated like royalty. Ryan in the bar set us up with a special light dinner to go with our champagne. Jackie made breakfast a joy. Both were so lovely I'll never forget their hospitality. The food is incredible, much of grown in their garden. The best breakfast I have ever enjoyed. Gorgeous flowers and birds. Kitties to stroke. Just perfect.

This is literally our favourite hotel in the WORLD. We tell everyone who is visiting Ireland that they must stay here. Every person who does always comes back with "The best hotel we've ever stayed at". It's so beautiful and the setting is other worldly. The hotel is like staying in an eccentric, artsy Aunt's home. Not too many rooms and not too many people milling around. We stayed during the prolonged heat stretch in Ireland and there was always plenty of room to sit outside and contemplate the lunar landscape of the Burren. We live in Ireland now, so we didn't visit the Cliffs, but they are just a short drive away. The village of Ballyvaughn is adorable. We actually went to Galway to see a concert and we drove back to Gregan's afterwards. Very doable. Skip staying in Galway and stay here instead. You won't regret it!

Staying at Gregans Castle Hotel in the Burren was an absolute delight! This hotel truly deserves a 5-star review. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the breakfast, which was one of the best we've had in all of Ireland. The personal service was exceptional, and we especially loved the fresh fruits, freshly made bread, and unique cow and sheep yogurt. Jackie, in particular, was outstanding. Not only did she provide excellent service during breakfast, but her recommendations for sights to see at our next stop and around the area were invaluable. Her great attitude toward life and living it to its fullest was truly inspiring. We can't recommend Gregans Castle Hotel enough No AC in hotel but if not a hot day it is great. Cats on site are also a added bonus one indoor and one outdoor that we saw. Walk around the grounds and the garden is great to walk around in the evening.

I wanted a spot to explore the Burren and Gregans Castle location was the perfect spot. Very helpful staff, nicely appointed room, a delicious restaurant , and friendly rescue pets rounded out a lovely stay.

This is a spectacular, secluded hotel in Clare, Ireland. It was like a storybook place, and I can see why J.R. Tolkien was inspired here.
