Dromoland Castle

From start to finish, what a fantastic stay in the beautiful Dromoland Castle - a truly 5 star experience, we loved every moment. Our arrival was met at the door with the renowned Clare hospitality, and from the check-in process to the journey to our room it was the warmest of welcomes. The rooms were really spacious and had all of the lovely touches from the decor to the gorgeous Burren scents. The service only got better from the lounge to the dining room, the Golf Club and to the GM Marks personal greeting at breakfast, it was faultless. On Saturday we played golf in the rain, which was a pleasure due to the magnificent surroundings, the personalised golf tags and the course condition. A really truly memorable stay and one we look forward to repeating again. Thank you to all at Dromoland.

Everything you would expect and more from a 5-star castle resort. From the second we were greeted at the valet to the second we were loaded into our vehicle we were treated like true royalty! We especially loved our afternoon falconry lesson with Jack! He was exceptionally knowledgeable of his craft and showed us a great time. Thank you Dromoland staff for a truly memorable stay!

A five-star experience. From the very friendly staff that greet you on arrival and all the staff you will encounter throughout your stay, no request is a problem. The room was large and the bed comfortable. A real dinning experience was enjoyed in the restaurant. A car from the hotel to the pool is an interesting service. All of this luxury does, however, come at a price.

This place is so special. The hotel, the grounds, the restaurants. The staff is so kind and accommodating. Had a wonderful dinner last night and our sommelier Erik was wonderful. He took such good care of us. Love it here wish we could stay longer.

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!
