Fabulous hotel, definitely for a special occasion!!
Dromoland is absolutely amazing, the hotel is just fabulous. A truly a five star experience. The staffs are just amazing, looking after your very need; turn down service, chocolates in the room, newspaper in the morning, breakfast in bed. The list just goes on and on. There is plenty to do there, for couple and families alike. If you're into a spa weekend with luxury then this is the place for you. If you're on a budget there is also plenty to do. I would definitely recommend spending the 25 Euro for the golf buggies to explore the estate, brilliant fun. A boat trip on the lake is not to be missed either.
Wonderful time
My husband, son and I spent three nights at the hotel in August. The weather was not great, but we still had a fabulous time. The staff is warm and welcoming and service is very personal. We did not have a single negative experience. The food was excellent (incredible pastry chef). The gardens are truly magnificent with both park like settings and vistas and a beautiful walled garden with flowers and fruit trees. We took a boat out fishing on the lake in the pouring rain for a couple of hours. The fish were literally jumping out of the water all around us but unfortunately, none of them decided to bite our hooks. Afterwards we went for a swim in the indoor swimming pool. There is also a beautiful gold course and a driving range and bike rentals. There are wild pheasants and other birds running around all over the place. We were surprised that nearly all the activities were complimentary to guests and it was only for things like falconry that you had to pay. We truly had a great time and the staff worked hard to ensure every body was well looked after.
Fantastic!
We stayed here on my birthday and it was a combination birthday/25th anniversary present to ourselves. We were not disappointed in any way. Briefly - the staff was outstanding, the food was the best we had on our whole vacation, the wine selection was great, and the service was excellent for both dinner and breakfast. The grounds were great to stroll, the castle is well taken care of and, if we didn't know better, we felt that we were living in the days when the castle was built. The fact that we had a room at the top of the tower just made it even more special. We have never experienced this kind of ambiance in any of our resort or hotel stays. It is not cheap by any means but you definitely get what you pay for. If we had the opportunity to do it over we would. Some friends of ours from England joined us for the stay and they would readily agree with my assessment. We really did feel like royalty for a day!
Beautiful facility & grounds; unbelievable staff!!!!!!!
The accommodations of this facility are truly incomparable to anything else we experienced during our entire trip. The grounds are exceptionally well kept, and the castle itself is unbelievably gorgeous. The staff is most accommodating, and goes the extra mile to ensure each guest is comfortable and well pleased.
The food was exceptional & prepared to specifications. Service of the wait staff left nothing to be desired. A truly once in a life time experience.
I hope to begin my next trip to Ireland at Dromoland Castle.
Magical place - wonderful location to get away from it all
The minute you drive through the gates, you enter another world, a great location to totally switch off and relax. We stayed for 3 nights and have to say we didn't want to leave. The location is picture perfect, with the views of the lakes and wonderful walks around the surrounding parkland.
The service was excellent and staff were friendly and welcoming.
You are spoilt for choice with the breakfast and the meal we had one evening in the dining room was delicious.
There wasn't one part of the stay that we didn't enjoy and we would highly recommend staying here. We hope to be back sometime soon.
