About the Hotel

Reviews for Gregans Castle Hotel

A very special property

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

We loved our 4-night stay at Gregan’s! The very pretty gardens, our first impression of the property, offer a seamless experience of the surrounding Burren and the nearby coast. This was continued in our room, Martello. We also enjoyed visiting the kitchen gardens and the idea of hosting lunches there is very appealing! The interiors at the hotel are superb, we loved the mix of homely comfort with hotel elegance and the mix of older furnishings with updated touches. The bathroom in Martello is excellent and stylish but a screen for the shower would be helpful. In July we did find the 3 blankets on the bed far too warm (we did request a reduction). Use of a tea tray (with a less sophisticated kettle) without a request would be nice. Food in the dining-room on two evenings was superb, really showcasing Irish ingredients and some very skilful preparation. Service from start to finish during our stay was excellent, very warm and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed using the sheet of local recommendations. It really helped us discover the very rich culture and heritage of the local area and provided us with a few joyous days. We would add a visit to the beautiful peninsula where the Martello Tower is located. It was magical in the later afternoon. All in all, a wonderful property that was a highlight of our Irish holiday.

A high quality hotel with the feeling to be at home

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

A hotel in the country side with a very nice inside decoration giving the feeling to be at home. The service delivered by the staff is with high standards. I recommend also the restaurant for its creativity.

Love this beautiful place!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

My daughter and I came for a mother-daughter retreat before she has her 1st baby. It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The staff, hotel, grounds, food - everything was stellar and, frankly, beyond our expectation. Every meal was delicious. My daughter has severe food allergies and the kitchen was extremely accommodating. Very grateful. On a side note, THE very best brown bread in all of Ireland! Kudos and many thanks to the chef and rest of the staff at Gregan’s!

A beautiful venue in a stunning part of the world

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 days ago

We had a wonderful stay at Gregans Castle Hotel. The staff were very friendly and professional. The breakfast was superb but the evening meal was a dining experience - absolutely sublime. Our room was on the small side but again beautifully decorated. The hotel decor, attention to detail etc was spot on. We look forward to our next visit and have already recommended the hotel to friends and family.

DO NOT GO HERE. Terrible Customer Service!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

Horrible experience. I would strongly avoid this property. They are only focused on taking your money and have zero sense of customer service.
