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. Guests have included J.R.R Tolkien, who’s said to have been influenced by the Burren when writing The Lord of the Rings, as well as other revered artists and writers such as Seamus Heaney and Sean Scully.

Lovely and relaxing stay in a rural part of Ireland. We booked a superior room, overlooking the meadow, and in the distance the Burren and the Atlantic. We ate dinner there the first evening, a wonderful and generous tasting menu with an extensive and varied wine list. The bar area is also lovely for a drink, lunch, or tea/coffee. I especially want to thank the woman at the front desk who was on duty the afternoon and evening when my husband and I were both feeling poorly. She brought very “plain” food to our room for dinner (e.g. plain rice, some fruit) and there was no charge for it. Wonderful hospitality. We also love the fun, colorful and sometimes quirky art work! And the resident cats, we remembered Lady from our last visit, and met Mika who escorted us on a walk around the property. Everything to make us feel at home.

We spent 20 days through out Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. This is absolutely a Treasure. If you are in The Burren, you must must must stay here. We had stayed the two nights before at Ashford Castle and this was the BEST place to wind down after three weeks abroad. Perfect!

Our stay at Gregans Castle Hotel was simply magical. The setting was beautiful, as was our room. The food, the wine, the cocktails were all wonderful, but the most impressive aspect of the hotel was the friendliness of the staff and their customer service focus.

If you like a luxurious country house feel with beautifully coordinated furnishings and lots of interesting art. If you enjoy wide open views, friendly staff, herbaceous borders, cats and donkeys. If you prefer your food seasonal, sophisticated and local. Then you will love this hotel. If you are looking for lots going on, a to in your room, spa treatments and a nespresso machine, it might not be for you. We really liked it and we’d recommend going for a walk with Shane Connolly. If you want a night with music pop to the village pub.
