Dromoland Castle

From the moment I walked from the carpark the experience began. We had been to Dromoland a couple of times before with the kids, a good few years ago I don’t know why I stayed away so long John the doorman started to walk towards me with a true Irish welcome, a genuine welcome , taking my bags and carrying them up the steps. It was lovely to see many of the same staff as our last visit Emma from reservations had called me a week before to book the dinner time and confirm reservation. What a lovely room we got overlooking the lake. Everything you could possibly need was in the room ,as well as complimentary Dromoland chocolate and shortbread. Those little personal touches don’t go un noticed. That lovely experience continued into the spa where Patricia gave me a wonderful customised massage and tucked me into comfy bed in relaxation room afterwards , where I promptly fell asleep. I remember all the names because each of them left such a positive impression with me and deserve to be called out . Dinner that evening was exceptional. The maitre d( I don’t remember his name shamefully), as he also went above and beyond with a personalised service at dinner and also the following day at breakfast. He was such a lovely man, so helpful and we had a bit of banter too! What comes across from all the staff is the culture of service in Dromoland, going above and beyond to provide an amazing experience. I will not allow such a long time to pass before I return again. To the new manager Mark, you should be proud to have inherited such a fantastic team .

We flew into Dublin and then drove to the Cliffs of Moher the next day to get another experience of Ireland. We decided to stay at Dromoland because when else are you going to have the chance to stay in a castle?!?! Every SINGLE person went above and beyond to truly give you the experience of being in a castle. From the porter to the wait staff in the restaurants (Erik at Earl of Thomond) to the attention to detail by the bartender in making your drink, everything was 10+. At dinner we listened to the beautiful music of an Irish harp and then another night, had a nightcap outside the bar with a local Irish musician. The food was excellent, the room was beautiful, the grounds were refreshing and peaceful....I could have stayed there forever. The morning we left, we did a free history tour of the castle with Ms. O'Brien. It took about an hour and a half and was so interesting. You won't be disappointed if you stay here!
