Ashford Castle embodies the fantasy of the Irish castle hotel, featuring a massive historic stone facade, complete with towers and turrets. The hotel also offers manicured grounds, and a stunning setting on a lake.
The castle received a $75 million overhaul in 2015. The 82 individually decorated rooms combine old-fashioned grandeur with modern tech amenities including electronic shades, touch controls for drapes and electricity, free Wi-Fi, and wall outlets for both U.S. and European plugs. Guests may choose from rooms, staterooms, and suites, plus a Hideaway Cottage on the grounds. All rooms feature a comfortable king-size bed, and suites include a sofa bed.
An impressive range of activities are available on the estate, such as falconry, boat tours on the lake, clay shooting, archery, fishing, cycling, kayaking, horseback riding, golfing, and even zip-lining. A free 32-seat movie theater with its own popcorn machine is available, where both family-friendly and mature movies are shown twice a day. A spa is available to guests with a small pool, relaxation room, and treatment room with lake views. Families will like the unique "Lego Butler" service, where a butler brings Lego for kids, and babysitting can be arranged for a fee.
George V Dining Room is a formal restaurant on-site with white tablecloths, crystal chandeliers, and a dress code. The restaurant is named for King George V, who visited the castle when he was Prince of Wales. The Dungeon is located on the lower ground floor of the castle and serves local pub food such as burgers, corned beef, black pudding, and seafood.
Ashford Castle is one of the most unique hotels, not only in Ireland but the world. It provides a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience for all visitors.
