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!

Magical

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.

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.

A wonderful time in a beautiful castle.

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.
