Exceptional Castle Stay!

Ashford Castle was the best hotel that I have ever visited. The staff is delightful and facilities exceptional. We enjoyed a private Hawk Walk lead by Mel. She was terrific. We played 9 holes and had the course to ourselves. The grounds are breathtaking. The room that we stayed in thru Hotels.com was 420. What a beautiful room with lots of light. It was just amazing. It was a bit of heaven! You must visit.

It was a bit disappointing to be honest. Adare Manor and Ballyfin were much more superior. The staff need a bit more training and attention to detail. They were very friendly however.
