드로모랜드 캐슬

The best of the best! At Dromoland, they cater to your every need! If I am in Ireland, I will be staying at Dromoland! The staff is superior and attention to detail is excellent. They have an excellent chef so, breakfast, lunch and dinner are a no trainers.

I had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional hospitality from Dara Downs during my stay at Dromoland Castle Hotel. Dara was simply amazing—his warmth, kindness, and professionalism were truly unparalleled. He guided us through the castle with a genuine enthusiasm that made our visit unforgettable. He answered all our questions with patience and ensured we felt completely at home. His manners and dedication to his role are a testament to his character. Dara truly deserves to be recognized as an outstanding manager. It's people like him who elevate the hospitality industry. I look forward to encountering more professionals like him in the future.

We, and 29 Members of our Family from around the world, gathered here and spent the most exciting and memorable weekend in these wonderful historic surroundings. The Castle is clearly the No. 1 Hotel in all of Ireland and in the top 3 in all of Europe. The friendliness and obliging nature of all of the staff is exceptional. Each of us was treated like royalty. The food, wines and service at all of our meals were of an unparalleled standard. After heavenly nights’ sleep in beautiful bedroom suites, the breakfast buffet in the Earl of Thomond Restaurant, serving everything you could possibly wish for, including Burren Smokehouse Smoked Salmon and the crispiest bacon ever, was extremely generous. Our dinner at the Fig Tree Restaurant was delicious, as were the accompanying French wines. Of note here were the Paul Nicolle, Chablis 1er Cru and the Jean-Baptiste Ponsot, Rully 1er Cru “Montpalais” from the Côte Chalonnaise, the latter of which was a complete surprise to some of us. The service was great. We were engaged the next day in fun-filled activities, such as falconry, archery, clay shooting, horse and carriages rides, go-cart riding, boating, fishing and of course, golf played on the most incredible renowned golf course! The historic walled garden, which contains every cottage garden plant imaginable and which is alive with foraging bumble bees, is well worth a visit. The most exceptional event though was our Birthday Celebration Dinner that was held in the Terrace Room. We began with Laurent-Perrier Rose Champagne and delicious canapes served outside on the lawn. Once all the children family members had gone to bed, we returned to the Terrace Room to experience a four-course food extravaganza accompanied by incredible Italian wines, followed by fantastic dancing and ending with a conga line which proceeded to the Cocktail Bar. Great fun was had by all. This was a never-to-be-forgotten experience and our sincere gratitude goes to all those involved.

Our family and young children arrived in July to this lovely castle. We were so warmly greeted by the entire staff including Devin who introduced us to the property. We stayed in the lodge which is a house on the hotel grounds- a superb option if you are traveling with a number of people. The lodge was stocked with essentials and the housekeeping was excellent. Devin arranged a pick up for dinner though we used our golf carts the rest of the stay. The breakfasts were great and with superb service. Dinners were excellent, again with superb service and food. I am spoiled now. We had lunch and cocktails in the bar which is a cozy place and the kids loved the hot chocolate with marshmallows. All the staff were amazing and so nice to our children. We went fishing on the lake with Clem which was so much fun-Clem has so many stories he will keep you entertained- we went two days. The kids did archery with Dave and had a great time- he was an excellent and very kind instructor. We played golf on the beautiful course, and went swimming at the indoor pool. The grounds are amazing as well as the castle. This was a very memorable stay- a beautiful place, with the nicest people. Hope to return.

A special place to visit for a 70 th birthday surprise from the moment we arrived we were greeted with such warmth and friendliness it did not feel that we were in a hotel but staying at the castle as friends Our courtyard room was spectacular and our sons room in the same wing was luxurious Son and hubby played golf I joined in forest bathing which was a lovely experience 70 th birthday dinner was fantastic and a meal at the fig tree - golf club restaurant was excellent As someone who has coeliac disease I had excellent gluten free choices And to have choices of croissants, muffins and bread at breakfast as well as the hot options was a bonus Actually spectacular experience thanks especially to Brian, Niall, Erik and Darragh….. but everyone else we met was lovely The live music each night was a bonus We will be back

We stayed in the Red Mary room for our trip which looked out onto the lake on the first level. The service and accommodations were spectacular. There are so many activities for kids. We did archery, fishing, horseback riding off property at Castlefergus Equestrian center, go carts, played a little tennis, etc. I visited the spa on a cancellation and it was the most comfortable bed + massage. The afternoon tea was specactular and the breakfast was fit for a king. We enjoyed most of our lunches on the property in the game room and then ate at the golf course restaurant for dinner. My only mistep was cancelling our dinner reservation and I couldn't get another but that wasn't their fault. Any request was met with graciousness. There is so much history here and its wonderful to take the horse carriage tour to see the entire property. The Temple of Mercury where the horse is buried is so special. It's worth the money!
