Dromoland Castle

Golden Anniversary in a Golden Hotel It’s impossible to criticize Dromoland Castle and its superior staff! We celebrated our 50th- wedding anniversary here on the exact date of our marriage 50 years ago, when we also stayed here for part of our honeymoon. This nostalgic trip was met with such gracious treatment. The front gate greeted and congratulated us; the check-in staff in the lobby did the same. Our room was beyond our expectations (and also much improved over the 50 years)! We were upgraded to a beautiful corner room in one of the towers, with sublime views of the grounds. When do you ever hear the words,”Everything in the mini-bar and room is complementary”? Special 50th-anniversary treats in the room were such a nice touch. Breakfasts were fantastic, from the buffet to the cooked-to-order; traditional full-Irish breakfast and the shaksuka were delicious. Don’t miss the scones. Service in the bar was cozy, friendly, and prompt. Dinners at the Fig Tree were equally grand…along with the surprise dessert. Golf was excellent with a fine staff, a first-class course, and bag tag and tee perks. The best treat for me, while the husband golfed, was the falconry experience. Mike shared his passionate expertise with these birds, and interacting with falcons, hawks, and owls was unforgettable. Wish we knew the names of all the great staff who made this visit so memorable. Shout-outs to Aidan in the lobby, Mike the falconer, and all the outstanding members of Dromoland. Thank you for everything.

Dromoland is elegance sublime. It is truly a castle with beautifully furnished and decorated public areas and there's no end to them. The grounds are extensive including a golf course and large lake with provided row boats. Eat like a king in the main dining room with superb cuisine served by a truly professional staff or settle for something casual in the golf course or bar restaurant. The rooms are very large and designed with royalty in mind. An added delightful extra are spontaneous live entertainment performances.

The most wonderful hotel experience of my life! I can’t say enough wonderful things about this amazing hotel and experience. The housekeeping services are beyond amazing. The details matter to the staff here. They go above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care of and happy. The hotel, staff, and experience is worth every penny. The chocolate during turn down service is worth staying here in and of itself. I had the best omelette I’ve ever eaten at the breakfast. I have to name drop Matthew. He was such a joy and so good to us during our stay. We also very much enjoyed our carriage ride with Lilly and our falconry experience with Clem. I can only be so lucky as to return here for a future stay. The grounds and the castle are beyond beautiful. Truly a five star experience. Well done, Dromoland Castle and staff!
