6/10 Good

Disappointing. I stayed at this property about 8 years ago and remembered the service was impeccable. That is why I returned. Unfortunately it has lost a great deal of its quality and service you would expect for $750 per night room. Only about half of the employees were friendly and pleasant the others didn’t seem to care much about providing service. You need to make reservations for the indoor pool which I found unusual. We opted to eat at the casual dining restaurant which was the only positive and enjoyable experience there. Our waitress was amazing. The room was small. Nothing in the mini bar is free, which was sad because you are paying a premium to stay there. On the previous night we stayed at a different 5 star hotel that gave us free beer, sodas, and endless water. Breakfast was horrible, my food came out soggy. They used to have a wonderful buffet 8 years ago but now you can only order from a menu and your options are limited. I would say this hotel this is more of a 4 star hotel, not luxury at all. The icing on the cake was when they loaded our luggage into the car and told us where it was parked so we could walk to it in the rain, they didn’t drive it to us.

The Ashford Castle is SIMPLY SPECTACULAR!! This was our second time staying at this magnificent hotel, and while we never thought we could top our first stay (which was amazing), we absolutely did!! We were greeted by the wonderful staff like we were family. Niall, the General Manager, is just fantastic. He is so kind and so hands-on with everything there, which is probably why the hotel runs so perfectly. Catherine, who is so sweet was in the lobby to greet us with her warm smile. Brege and Eleanor in the dining room are the absolute sweetest! Francisco, Gian Paolo, and Katelyn took such great care of us every morning at breakfast and were just precious (and we loved Mike who brought us freshly squeezed juices). David, Connor, and Shane and just AWESOME and will make any arrangements you need. And last but definitely not least, Paddy, the wonderful lounge ambassador, is just the best! The rooms are absolutely luxurious (heavenly beds, wonderful bathrooms & toiletries), the food at every restaurant is beyond delicious, and the activities are so unique. I highly recommend Falconry, the boat ride, archery, and the morning walk with the dogs. The common spaces are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen, and all warm and inviting! The service level is just superb! I have been fortunate to stay in many fine hotels, and Ashford Castle is by far my favorite. My family is already planning our next visit and cannot wait to see all of our friends again soon!!
