Property was amazing. Staff was mostly quick and knowledgeable. Did have a mix up with late check out as we had a spa appointment that ended at check out time and they said they woukd give us late check out and that did not happen. Our bathroom wall about the tub had a think layer of dust on it that fell into tub when you wiped it. Luggage guys were great. Front dest was fast and polite. Servers/bartwnders were good. Not sureidstay there again for thecost.

Fabulous

We were a group of 3 couples celebrating a 40th wedding anniversary and Dromoland didn’t disappoint. From the moment we arrived we were made feel so welcome. Our dinner was fabulous and all the staff were amazing . This is a real gem.We will be back soon again.

Stayed here several times before but a little disappointed this time. Requested a King Bed but got 2 singles pushed together. Highly uncomfortable and annoying. In the Cocktail bar, only 2 bar stools available which has a seriously detrimental effect on the possibility of interaction with other guests. Overall experience was disappointing. Won’t be back

Can’t wait to stay again!

Dromoland Castle was absolutely magical! The garden and grounds were stunning and the castle was indescribable. But the staff was my favourite part. They make you feel like family while there and we’ll be talking about our stay until the next time we get to go. Make sure to do the activities ….the archery, clay shooting and horse carriage specifically. And splurge on a specialty cocktail in the lounge at night, it’s worth every penny. The food was delicious, the room was perfect, exploring the castle was neat. I just can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Do not hesitate to book it. I will be travelling back to Ireland from Canada specifically to stay here again.
