Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Ashford Castle
Christine, Glasgow, United Kingdom. November, 2008
"Our stay at the 'Castle' was wonderful. The hotel and the grounds are something to behold. The ambiance in the hotel is very warming, friendly and down to earth. The staff are amazingly helpful and were always happy to tell us a 'story' of the hotel and its history."
Patrick M., Mayo, Ireland. September, 2008
"As we expected Ashford Castle was a really lovely relaxing and unique hotel. We had visited on a few previous occasions but had not stayed overnight. The rooms were extremely comfortable and the service was outstanding. The grounds are really beautiful. There are lots of activities for those who would like to partake, however we stayed there for rest and recuperation and that is exactly what we did. We look forward to a longer stay next time."
Michael B., Indianapolis, USA. September, 2008
"In a word, we thought the castle was OUTSTANDING! It was lovely and the grounds were spectacular. The room was luxurious. The staff was extremely helpful. It was a wonderful experience to stay there!"
Carol M., Bow, USA. August, 2008
"Great place to stay. Our rooms were upgraded when we got there to a junior suite, and we had a great view of the lake from which we could watch fish jumping out of the water. The room accommodations were nicely decorated, spacious, clean and comfortable. We ate dinner at the cottage and the food was wonderful. Buffet breakfast at the castle had the best scones by far and everything else you could want, service was exceptional. Staff overall very friendly and pleasant and willing to go out of there way to help you. Definitely would recommend staying here. My only regret was that we weren't able to stay longer. Next time we plan to stay longer to take advantage of all the activities they have available."
Gabriel D., Ireland. June, 2007
"The hotel was great. We were upgraded to a beautiful suite overlooking the lake. This was our second stay at Ashford Castle and we would recommend it to anyone."
