About the Hotel
Gregans Castle Hotel is nestled in the heart of the beautiful Burren, and has been a family run hotel since 1976. Our stunning 18th century manor house is set in its own established and lovingly-attended gardens, boasting spectacular views that stretch across the Burren to Galway Bay. Gregans Castle has long been a source of inspiration for its visitors.

Beautiful location where hospitality abounds
A wonderful stay as part of our two weeks in Ireland for our 22nd anniversary. The location, staff and food were all exceptional. The scones were the best we have ever had anywhere (all the food was exceptional).

Great one-night Burren experience at Gregan’s
What a great location and a unique experience. Don’t miss the bar hidden behind the front desk/reception area, especially for after-dinner drinks and petit fours. Really cozy.

The Best Hotel!
I loved this hotel and it's really more than just a hotel: it's a place to relax, eat amazing fresh food and enjoy Ireland. I was there with a small group hiking and it was the perfect end to a day. My room opened to a garden, complete with bird feeder (with seed provided). But the food, where do I begin: everything was locally sourced, and served with care. Our dinners were better than a Michelin starred restaurant we experienced. The staff, the lounges, the outdoors: it was perfect!!

Perfect for Ireland!
Gregans Castle was fantastic! The rooms were wonderfully appointed. The grounds are wonderful to walk and admire. I loved the bar and enjoyed my dining. Next time I return, I plan to bring a book and cozy up to the fires with a drink!
