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...

Stayed at the Wyatt again for the first time in years. Their prices had gotten high for awhile but seemed to come down again. It was nice to be back. Looked like they had upgraded some things since I’d been there, like the TVs. The bed was great. Maybe the best sleep on my trip. Also the best shower facilities on my trip. Staff is always professional. They also have good restaurant and bar areas. Even if you don’t stay there, it’s worth a stop in for a bite to eat. Not sure if the Wyatt is he...

It was raining in Clifden so we spent most of our stay at the Castle, really enjoyed the lecture and champagne reception, dinner and breakfast was excellent. Our room overlooked the town and gardens, beautiful. Great stay!

Nice hotel right on Galway Bay. I visited in late September but would be lovely in summer. Spacious room, good breakfast. Spa services available but I didn’t use them. About 1.5 miles / 25 minute pleasant walk to Galway town center. Large hotel that seems to be used for conferences and meeting point for larger tour groups.

Decor is very dramatic. Nice place, nice staff. Pretty clean, food was good. Nothing bad to say but if you don’t own a Valentino suit, you might not match the furniture.

We were relieved to find this very nice place to stay. We had come from Galway where there were zero vacancies. This morning we had a dreamy visit to Thoor Balley.
