“This is definitely the place to go if you want to get away from it all, the surrounding lakes and forest provide a feeling of seclusion. The castle itself is delightful, my favorite room was the one with the huge ornately carved fireplace. The afternoon tea was the best I've had anywhere, each portion was delicious and light so that it was a pleasure to eat the whole thing in one sitting, and the old fashioned we had with it were perfect. The food in the sandstone restaurant was everything I was hoping for. The staff a friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The staff really were the best part of the experience for me.”

“After a long journey we arrived at Lough Rynne quite late at night and were immediately welcomed and shown to a magnificent room upstairs - complete with four poster bed and fabulous drapes, gold coloured fixtures and beautiful furnishings. No lifts though that we could see. We enjoyed a quiet drink in the very pleasant lounge area - served by friendly staff - some of the drapes in these reception areas could do with some restitching. Bed was fabulously comfortable and bathroom was ok. Breakfast next morning was excellent - beautiful dining room, great selection served by very friendly staff in very smart uniform. Attention to detail here was great - napkins, cutlery, glasses etc. Had the avocado with cream cheese and poached eggs on sourdough bread - delicious. Grounds outside are beautiful and we enjoyed some lovely walks before we left.”

“From start to finish our whole experience at Lough Rynn was nothing short of spectacular. The staff were absolute treasures, so helpful and friendly and the food was delicious. We are vegan and there were 4 fab dishes to choose from as well as a vegan chocolate cake for dessert. This is never heard of usually in a 5 star hotel in Ireland with one or little choice, so were were delighted. The ambiance and atmosphere was just lovely and the location/room was stunning. We would go back in a heartbeat!”
