Thank you !
The Lodge at Ashford Castle is a beautiful option for those wanting to stay near the castle but not pay the exorbitant price to stay in the castle. It was comfortable and charming and has everything you need, you have access to all the activities and you can walk the entire grounds and get beautiful photos of the castle. The breakfast is also delicious! Keep in mind that the Lodge guests can’t go inside the castle at all unless you are dining at one of the restaurants.
Everything was fantastic. Best breakfast of anywhere I’ve stayed yet. Excellent kitchen. Great wine offering. Service unparalled (particularly Anna and Janiana). Lovely rooms. Tons to do. Gorgeous grounds.
Delightful staff that took the very best care of us. Our room was comfortable and spacious.
Bar staff fun.We only ate breakfast at the lodge which was ok.
Try the Ashford gunpowder gin but my favourite was the Dingle gin!
We had an incredible stay at The Lodge. Our room was so luxurious, the food was amazing, and the staff were all so lovely. We brought our two dogs along with us and they were treated like VIPs! I can't wait to go back!
My favourite place to stay, the staff are excellent, food first class and lots of activities to enjoy on estate. Cruise boat is a must been on it many times it’s a treat
Clean, comfortable and pleasant! The Lodge was fully equipped, well furnished and quiet. The staff was helpful and anticipated our needs. Will definitely stay again.
Absolutely gorgeous place to visit and walk around, food was fantastic at the dining room. Staff was incredibly helpful. Just an absolute overall spectacular experience.
