This was a return trip to the castle, as my husband and I stayed there for two nights in 2017. Of course, the Castle was beautiful, the grounds stunning and the rooms and accommodations were 5-Star level and lived up to our expectations. But it was the staff and how they made us feel that brought me back for a week the second time with my 20 year old nieces, six years later. I would give the Castle 10 stars if I could! This time we did all of the on-site experiences... falconry, guided bike tours, horse-back riding, the Spa, big and small boat rides, afternoon tea and our favorite, the Unique Experiences with Eoin who curated a day with wonderful local craftsmen and women where we made soda bread, cheese and worked with a beekeeper. Eoin is such a great human being, made us comfortable, laughed with us and taught us so much about the West of Ireland. Again... everything about the Castle visually is stunning and breathtaking. So much attention to detail on the grounds, the forest, the castle itself and rooms are beautiful. We joked that there is magic fairy dust in the beds because they were more comfortable than any we have slept in. The restaurants cater to your needs and food is 5 Star worthy, we are not foodies, but our appreciation of all of the hard work put into our meals and their presentation was always present. All of that said, with 6 days at the Castle... it was once again the staff that made the difference for us. Luke always greeted us warmly and gregariously at the gates, Marty and all the doormen always welcoming us home, Thomas, Shane and Davida in Guest Services were making sure we were comfortable and inquiring about our days with laughter and warmth. They made such a difference to our stay. Paul and Simon in the bar were lovely and accommodating always and Agnes and Katelyn in the restaurants repeatedly made our days even brighter. The staff at Mrs. Teas helped us repeatedly and offered many items that we purchased for ourselves and for gifts to bring home. Yes, the Castle has a 5 Star designation and that marker is well-deserved. But is and will always be the staff, the people that fill the castle with warmth and genuineness and humor that will bring me back. When we left, we were sad to go but our hearts were full with the people, the soul and the warmth of the West of Ireland brought to us by Ashford Castle.

Eine sehr übermäßige Bewertung, aber wollte es nicht verlassen. Hatte hier im Mai einen schönen Aufenthalt. Personal war so freundlich und hilfreich. Zimmer viel größerer als erwartet (familiärer Raum) und sehr ruhig – selbst wenn wir eine rausche Hündchen Nacht aufstellten und dann nicht von ihm eine Schütte hörten. Schöner Pool und während es Lektionen gab, hatten wir noch viel Platz zum Schwimmen und wechseln. Wir genossen wirklich unseren Aufenthalt und fühlten es für den Standard gut gepreist. Nur con ist, dass die Busse nicht so regelmäßig wie erwartet sind, vor allem am Wochenende, so dass wir mehr Taxis nehmen mussten, wie erwartet, da die Stadt einen heftigen Spaziergang war (und die Mietwagenpreise scheinen in Irland verrückt zu sein!). Aber sicher kommen wir zurück. Danke!

Hostel im Hippie-Style! Cool, sauber, große Zimmer mit Kühlschrank und gemütliche Betten! Das Bad war sauber und man hatte endlich mal genug Wasserdruck, damit auch Frauen mit langen Haaren die Haare waschen konnten. Das Frühstück ist für 7,50 € absolut im Rahmen und lecker. Also alles perfetto!

I have been staying at this hostel since December 22nd, and everything has been very nice, good and clean rooms with nice bunks and the hostel includes a good breakfast. Then at 02:40 on December 27th four young drunk men came bursting into my room with laughter and noise and turned on all the lights, they had obviously been out partying but they did not stop partying when they entered the room, and they used the toilets all the time and made a lot of noise. I became quite upset about this, but I was concerned for my safety if I said anything, so I left the room for over an hour, when I came back to the room those four drunk men were snoring and breathing heavily so I could not get any sleep for the rest of the night. The following day I complained to the reception about this inconsideration. Jessica, the manager of the hostel took matters into her own hands and told me she would make a note about those men for the future. Jessica also put me into a new room where I would be alone for my last night at the hostel so I could sleep well without anybody disturbing me. This is what I call good service and Jessica went beyond her duties to compensate me for this inconvenience and that should be rewarded.

Das Hotel ist sehr wertvoll und bietet einen schönen Restaurant mit super freundlichem Personal. Ich war mit meiner Frau und meinem Toddler Sohn für 5 Nächte im Pool, war auch jeden Tag im Pool. Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr hilfsbereit und machten uns zu Hause fühlen. Frühstücksbuffet war Top-Notch, das Abendmenü im Restaurant war sehr nett
