Staff in all areas of the hotel were very friendly and helpful. I had an issue with the Tv in my room which was sorted out 5 minutes after I informed staff. Had an evening meal which was excellent as was the breakfast. Overall I would say that this is an excellent hotel, well run with friendly and helpful staff.

Great hotel very comfortable. Will definitely be back unfortunately the only downfall is the food. Food not good if they master that then it would be perfect.

Very comfortable stay and everything clean. Really comfortable beds and all required amenities in room. Housekeeping staff all great, majority of staff in restaurant were excellent, same in bar.
Breakfast was excellent and though we did have to wait a bit, once seated, service was excellent. Gym a bit worn, could do with a facelift but pool and pool area lovely.
Would highly recommend a stay in the Castlecourt, Great location, lovely staff, great food. We will be back. Thank you :)

We only stayed one night - I wish we could have spent longer here. We had a drink in the Boathole a fabulous relaxing dinner at The Kitchen, walked the walking path one the grounds and visited an old cemetery and megalithic stone site. You can fly fish, shoot clay pigeons, do archery or falconry. Very classy and beautiful place. Definitely worth the money to stay here you won't be disappointed. The staff and very kind and classy.

The Lodge at Ashford Castle was honestly one of the best stays we've ever had in Ireland - the service and staff were out of this world! Everyone was so attentive and welcoming (even with our pup - so hard finding dog-friendly hotels in Ireland, let alone one that rolls out the red carpet!). Gorgeous location with lots of great walks. Breakfast was delicious and super hearty for a day of adventuring. And loved all the activities offered at the castle. We hope to come back some day!
