Lovely settings and staff but it’s simply not worth the cost
Hotel itself is charming and the entire area surrounding and staff.
The facilities are not up to the standard of other places in that price bracket ,the spa is located in main building and in itself is small and outdated.
The hot tub pool and gym are in different area beside golf club ,not sure still how it works as We would usually go to spa then pool or vice versa .
The cocktail bar is good for a drink , pints 6.20 , glass of wine is around 14 euro ! yas can decide for yourself on that one !
The food at breakfast is very good and restaurant is also good only if your into very fine dining
The room we had was class decor but unfortunately you can hear other guests making noise above room and I'm sure the other way around too!
Overall it has a good bit to do to demand the rates ! -
I rated too high.
This location looks like it was conceived by a Hollywood set designer who had never seen an English country house but was determined to build one and failed in the process. The staff is courteous and friendly. Although they try to fulfill their roles they are inadequately trained.

This will be a pleasure to write about...
I've been wanting to golf here for quite awhile... check that off the bucket list.
From the very second you turn into the property, the Dromoland Castle experience begins, and what a fabulous experience it was for me, five stars top to bottom side to side, and can't help but fantasize what it must have been like when it was built and the family(s) that lived here.
The stunning grandeur as you wind your way towards the castle, passing through golfers, gardens, landscaping... allowing for some of the best views & glimpses of the hotel surrounded by trees and water ways is breathtaking... be ready to snap a few photo's.
Arriving, I was immediately met at the car, a warm welcome luggage place onto a trolly and escorted inside, all the while with pleasant conversations and hotel information... check-in was also warm, gracious and quick.
I was upgraded to a suite that wasn't ready, but they gave me a key to a temporary room to freshen up for the brief delay, that's five start service!
After I freshened up I returned my key and headed out for a walk, ending up at the golf club and its beautiful restaurant... what a lovely delicious lunch and more great service.
Getting into my spacious suite comfortable, luxurious decor and elegantly furnished, I wanted my stay to be longer than one night. I had a few hours before dinner so I went back to the golf club and spent some time at the driving-range getting ready for my 7:45 Tee-time.
Dinner was absolute perfection and my waiters recommendation in wine was spot on and delicious to the last swirl & sip... and the menu offers something for everyone and every discerning level.
After my meal I took the last glass of wine and sat outside in the brisk Irish night air. The Dromoland Castle Hotel is such a special property and the staff go to great lengths ensuring a lovely visit. I highly recommend a stay, even if you don't golf.
Enjoy every adventure ahead of you and the diversity our planet offersOwner Response

Dromoland Castle will NOT disappoint!!
I was unsure what to expect... we had originally been booked at Ashford Castle and were switched to Dromoland at the last minute. I was disappointed as I'd researched that castle and excited to be there. UNTIL I walked through Dromoland's entry hall. It was a WOW moment! The grounds are amazing. The golf course, the falconry demonstration, and the High Tea. Our dinner in the restaurant was absolutely fabulous. The lamb was superb as were the waitstaff. Our room was a suite and was huge. The entire castle exceeded my expectations. I wanted to stay longer but our tour was ready to leave.
This castle is not and will not disappoint.Owner Response

Stunning!
Stayed during the Christmas season - it was magical! Loved that the staff paid attention to every detail. We were stuffed full of the best food, had Christmas trees in our rooms and it felt like we had stepped back in time. Highly recommend!
