Beautiful buildings and grounds, rooms are incredible, very comfortable beds.
The place is beautiful in and out. Old world charm and a wonderful host. The staff is outstanding. The food is awesome.
Overall our stay was excellent.
This was a great stay! Being a castle and older building, we weren’t sure how modern the facilities would be but we were pleasantly surprised to find a room which blended the charm and heritage of the castle, with everything you need today. Pianos throughout were a great touch too!
We always wanted to stay in a castle. This beautiful place was the best stop to take my wife for Mothers Day. I surprised to see the restaurant is so elegant. The meal choices were awesome and prepared right. I hope someday to return.
The in put of the owner talking about the surrounding area and its history and the history of the castle and the past owners. The staff were very attentive and friendly , a very warm and welcoming atmosphere in the hotel.
Every part of our stay was magical.
We arrived late but a beautiful note with the key was left at the front desk!! Had a wonderful time at the pub and Brian greeted us the next morning at breakfast with 'where were you guys we missed you'!! Would recommend everyone to stay here when visiting the area.
We had an amazing time visiting the Abbeyglen Castle! Everyone there was very helpful and went above and beyond to help make our stay even better. The story time in bar and live music were a lot of fun and the dinner was delicious. Couldn’t recommend this place more, would definitely come back!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Abbeyglen Castle Hotel. We were warmly greeted at reception by the owner, who provided us with champagne in the evening along with fascinating insights into the castle's history. Our dinner experience was delightful, complemented by engaging entertainment, and the breakfast was truly exceptional. We also appreciated the atmosphere of the piano bar following dinner. Our accommodations were outstanding and beautifully suited to the castle's character.
Ronan and the crew at the Abbeyglen couldnt have been more fun, attentive, and welcoming. I felt more welcome there than i do in family member's homes. The grounds were beautiful and the 6:30 champagne toast with the story of Clifden was worth the trip alone. Anytime I am in Ireland, I will definitely be making a stop here. You absolutely have to try the Homemade Berry Meringue Roulade.

Change ?
The hotel is lovely but somewhat dated. The decor has not changed in probably 30 years which in some aspects is ok. The breakfast choices and layout needs updating The staff are terrific and could not do enough. Dinner was disappointing in small portions and boring vegetable choices.
Staff amazing. lovely idea for prosecco reception and history talk.
Spacious room with gas fire(doesn't work though). Sadly No pen in bedroom etc to fill in comment card. Large bathroom with double sinks/roll top bath and Shower.
