Easy access to the castle grounds & outdoor activities. The room was the best with elegance and space made us feel like royalty. We had a lovely view of the lake from the balcony.

The hotel management and service staff were very attentive, cheerful and accommodating. They were very prompt-t and creative in suggesting activities and providing support information.

Great staff, exceptional service. Beautiful location. Excellent dining.

We marked a family special occasion with a weekend stay The Lodge at Ashford Castle, including our two red setters and border collie. The ambience and service were perfect, we enjoyed every dining experience at the Lodge and Castle - but the absolute highlight was our private hawk walk on the grounds with the Falcon School. We and our dogs felt so welcome, thank you to all the staff for making our stay wonderful.

Everything was excellent! From the food, to the comfortable rooms, every need was taken care of. The only problem is that we had to leave! I loved the Lodge and will go back.

The location is beautiful, peaceful. Ashford castle and gardens are a gem. The personnel is extremely friendly.

We had a very pleasant stay at this wonderful Lodge. The room and bathroom were immaculate. The dual voltage charging outlets, and the bathrobes and slippers were an unexpected bonus. The breakfast was superior to anything we have experienced. All staff took great pride in their work. A special mention to Breakfast Supervisor Rose Donoghue who went above and beyond to ensure a high quality of service was met. I left three pairs of boots behind in the parking lot, and I was thrilled to find the staff had retrieved them and set them aside for me.

Classy. Bed was comfortable and large. Scenery nearby is outstanding.

We loved our stay at the lodge. We did the falconry, had a couples massage, and the afternoon tea. The falconry and afternoon tea was the highlight! We also loved dinner at Wildes and Cullens! Breakfast was pretty good. Loved my pancakes & rashers. The bathroom and shower was great. Loved the lemongrass and cedar soaps.

Rooms were very well appointed. Staff was excellent
