10/10 Exceptional

I don't think it is possible to rate Ashford Castle as anything less than a full 5-star experience. In fact, if I could give it six stars I would. The level of customer service is so far above and beyond the call of duty it almost takes your breath away. Yes, it is expensive. But it is truly worth every penny. From the moment I pulled through the gates I knew this was a special place. It reeks of luxury...in a good way! Be sure to take advantage of the amenities. If you can only do one thing, do...

We had a wonderful stay. The bed was comfortable and room clean with all the necessary amenities. The hotel has a huge restaurant and Irish bar with many different rooms and 2 levels to accommodate all types of clientele! They had live music and the performances were amazing! The best part was the customer service provided with care, kindness, enthusiasm and pure happiness, always quick with help and a smile from their employee Niall, he was such a pleasure!

My 2 friends and I had a great time staying at the Ardagh Hotel. It's a family owned hotel, with excellent hospitality and amazing food in the restaurant.
