Magical

Every part of our stay was magical. We arrived late but a beautiful note with the key was left at the front desk!! Had a wonderful time at the pub and Brian greeted us the next morning at breakfast with 'where were you guys we missed you'!! Would recommend everyone to stay here when visiting the area.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Abbeyglen Castle Hotel. We were warmly greeted at reception by the owner, who provided us with champagne in the evening along with fascinating insights into the castle's history. Our dinner experience was delightful, complemented by engaging entertainment, and the breakfast was truly exceptional. We also appreciated the atmosphere of the piano bar following dinner. Our accommodations were outstanding and beautifully suited to the castle's character.

A wonderful time in a beautiful castle.

Ronan and the crew at the Abbeyglen couldnt have been more fun, attentive, and welcoming. I felt more welcome there than i do in family member's homes. The grounds were beautiful and the 6:30 champagne toast with the story of Clifden was worth the trip alone. Anytime I am in Ireland, I will definitely be making a stop here. You absolutely have to try the Homemade Berry Meringue Roulade.

We found staying at the castle very exciting. We were treated very well by staff. We stayed on a Friday night and our room was above the outdoor smoking area so we could hear peoples voices right up to 2 am. The breakfast the next morning was ok. Eggs Benedict had over cooked eggs and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce. My husband enjoyed his kipper. Be ready to fill up with cereal and fruit.

Unique Experience

The hotel was a bit hard to get to with luggage and no taxi service but once we arrived there were no complaints. The staff was friendly and check in was very quick. The room was great, the food superb and the complimentary champagne and history lesson was very interesting and much appreciated.
