Hotel The Lodge at Ashford Castle

Ashford Estate, Cong, Ireland –

Lock in a great price for The Lodge at Ashford Castle – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Our room was wonderful, the staff very friendly and helpful, it couldn’t have been any better

Paul, Ireland

Absolutely beautiful! We would definitely stay there again.

Krista, United States of America

We liked everything about this place. The lodge itself was unique in the layout and the way it was decorated and our room was one of the most spacious I have ever stayed in while traveling.

Janice, United States of America

The bones of the physical structure are good, and its location really first-rate. Staff at the property were uniformly very good: friendly, welcoming, informative and efficient. The breakfast offering was absolutely top-notch, as good as it gets.

Tim, Ireland

Best breakfast buffet we saw in our 2-1/2 weeks of travel in Ireland. Eggs were perfect!

Smitty, United States of America

The grounds are beautiful. The staff are excellent

Mr, Canada

Although the activities are not actually run by the hotel, there are a number of excellent things once can do near by--from the Hawk Walk at the School of Falconry to lessons in archery or horseback riding (all for an additional fee). We did the Hawk Walk and the archery lesson and enjoyed both, the Hawk Walk being the real highlight for both parents and kids. The casual dining room at the hotel's Quay Bar had very nice options for the whole family. The staff were courteous and helpful.

Daniel, Germany

Our room was fabulous. It was large enough to host a cocktail party for our traveling companions. We also took the falconry experience which was a highlight of our trip.

Karen, United States of America

Beautiful grounds with ideal access to Ashford Castle and Cong. Staff were accommodating and genuine and evening live piano music was delightful Chef's tour of the polytunnels and herb gardens was inspiring and highly recommended

Philip, Bulgaria

Best service - best activities - best accommodation - can't get enough - love this place - can't wait to come back
