The champagne welcome was informative and fun. Delicious breakfast was a bonus. Very friendly, helpful staff. A short walk up to the Clifton Castle or down to the city center.

Daugherty United States of America

Loved AbbeyGlen Castle Hotel. Beautiful Place, Gorgeous Rooms, Friendly Management and Staff and Fabulous Food.

Suzanne Ireland

The bed was super comfortable and our room was beautiful. I loved hearing the sound of the creek outside of our window. The breakfast was exceptional, especially the fresh-squeezed orange juice.

Judy United States of America

The hospitality was beyond wonderful! The location was idyllic and serene. Breakfast was fast and delicious. The champagne orientation was more than expected- what a fantastic thing to offer!

Becca United States of America

The room was beautiful, spacious, and comfortable. There was a fireplace in the living room and a separate bedroom with a king bed. I really enjoyed the clawfoot bath tub that was separate from the shower. It was a luxurious experience. The staff were friendly. The champagne reception and chat with the owner about the history of the castle was entertaining. I had dinner and breakfast and both were delicious.

Amber United States of America

Everything: the ambiance, the room, the location. I especially liked the brook outside my window, best sleep in years. I felt like a King!!!
