This property is not at the castle but rather on the castle grounds. I was told it is a “different experience” than those staying at the castle. It was generally a very nice stay. A delicious breakfast was the highlight of our stay. Other meals were more hit or miss and though tasty, a bit overpriced considering the more informal atmosphere. The decor was a bit bizarre, like they couldn’t figure out what style they were going for. Some areas were like a Las Vegas casino with mirrors, bright red tiles and modern art, while a turn of the corner elicited a feel for 18th century rural charm with a cozy fireplace.

The Lodge at Ashford Castle is a beautiful option for those wanting to stay near the castle but not pay the exorbitant price to stay in the castle. It was comfortable and charming and has everything you need, you have access to all the activities and you can walk the entire grounds and get beautiful photos of the castle. The breakfast is also delicious! Keep in mind that the Lodge guests can’t go inside the castle at all unless you are dining at one of the restaurants.
