Julie Emilie
This hotel is a gem and one of the highlights of our trip!
The location is simply gorgeous, and the drive along the Sky Road to get there was particularly memorable, with incredible ocean views.
The castle is beautiful and full of history. The owner does a fantastic job of sharing some of it every evening during a free get-together with drinks.
The staff shows great attention to detail, high-quality standards, and an incredible culture of fun and care that we have not seen anywhere else. Brian, the owner, also made the evening stand out with an incredible dinner atmosphere followed by delightful conversations on the patio at sunset with a group of customers.
It is such a unique, elegant, fun, and welcoming hotel. We will be back!

A beautiful site and cozy look. The rooms aren’t very special for the cost. The room was HOT. 23-24 all night long. I asked if the temperature could be fixed/ cooler. All heat is off was the reply, I requested another room fan late day 1 of our stay and again early Day 2.
Upon departure when leaving, I said to reception that something needed to be done to fix the extreme heat and the manager came, apologized profusely, even carried my bag out… but communication from reception to the boss made for a miserable stay. 24 degrees all night is poor for your health.

Looked after us. Enjoyed the prosecco and history talks. Breakfast was excellent. Shower didn't run well and needed a shelf in the bathroom.
MICHAEL L
My wife and I had a spectacular time. Dinner Wes excellent and the staff was extremely professional. We even had unexpected entertainment at dinner that made the night.
Gary
Clifden, Abbeyglen castle and this part of the west coast of Ireland are absolutely stunning. Don’t miss the Prosecco Welcome and the hotel owners talk on the history of the local area and Abbeyglen Castle itself. It was absolutely fascinating, occasionally humorous and brought everything to life. The owner remembered our names from the moment we were introduced. Very rare! I’ve travelled globally for business 2 out of 4 weeks for the past 15 years. I’ve stayed in some fantastic hotels around the world. Our stay at Abbeyglen castle was the most personal and best customer experience I’ve had anywhere.
Elizabeth
The hotel was incredibly charming! The rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff were beyond friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. My partner and I both said we’ll return for a longer stay next time!
Susan
The whole place was awesome. A great view, friendly staff, an awesome room and bathroom, great dinner and breakfast! I would definitely stay there again!

Loved my stay here at Abbeyglen. Was fortunate enough to hear the history of the town as well as meet the owner. Only wish I had more time to stay at the castle. Food was amazing and the entire staff was very welcoming and accommodating.

Staff were nice, beds very comfortable and the brook outside the window made sleeping a dream.
Could do with some updates here and there but otherwise a lovely stay.

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!

Old world charm, lovely meal, great customer service. Enjoyed welcome reception

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.

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.

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.

The owner greeting the guests during dinner and providing a history of the resort and surrounding area which would be of interest to those from USA.

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.

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!

Absolutely lovely stay at the Abneyglen Castle. Service was amazing and the rooms gorgeous. Highly recommend.
Lori
We found staying at the castle very exciting. We were treated very well by staff. We stayed on a Friday night and our room was above the outdoor smoking area so we could hear peoples voices right up to 2 am. The breakfast the next morning was ok. Eggs Benedict had over cooked eggs and a drizzle of hollandaise sauce. My husband enjoyed his kipper. Be ready to fill up with cereal and fruit.

Unique Experience
The hotel was a bit hard to get to with luggage and no taxi service but once we arrived there were no complaints. The staff was friendly and check in was very quick. The room was great, the food superb and the complimentary champagne and history lesson was very interesting and much appreciated.

Terrific property with very hospitable host. Huge lovely room. Short on amenities - no bath soap/body wash, tissues, robes, slippers. Unfortunately, noisy guests partying until after 1am. Early start meant no breakfast available
Beverly
Beautiful place. Great breakfast
kurt
The best hospitality of any place I have ever been , the owner gives out photos of each guest that he takes himself. The nightly story of the history of Abbeyglen is not to be missed 🙏
Becky
My new favorite stay in Ireland!

Lovely property!
Jaime
Everyone at this hotel and in the town of Clifden is so welcoming and friendly. We felt right at home from the minute we arrived until the minute we checked out. The meals are outstanding, and the staff really do go out of their way to make you feel special. Wonderful visit!! Highly recommend.
Sarah
Perfection!
We loved our one night stay! Wish we could have stayed longer, but the airport was calling us! The whole experience was amazing… From the super sweet welcome at the front desk, to the complimentary champagne welcome party, and breakfast in the morning. The view from our room was magical and the sounds of water and birds was so relaxing. If we ever come back to this part of Ireland we will most definitely revisit this location! Well done!! Also noticed it was child friendly, and what kid doesn’t want to run around a castle?!
Kenneth
Fantastic property and the staff were the best we experienced in the country. We are so pleased with this property, we are planning our next trip already and making sure we stay a bit here again.

Our stay was very pleasant, although during the Pandemic, we felt unsafe a couple of times. Some guests gathered in group in bar area. Some staff didn't wear masks. Dinner tables were a little too close.

Liked the friendly staff but they had a busy weekend and you could see they were stretched.
Room was clean and all amenities provided. However it was too warm at night and no air con.
Asked to book restaurant on check in and was informed no need to book they will accomodate you. When we arrived fown to the bar we were told not a hope if getting a table they were too busy. Joke!! Not impressed. Roger the barman was very helpful and recommended a lovely restaurant in the town.
Would have expected porridge to be made to order instead of in a heated pot. Breakfast food was not very hot.
At check out there was only one receptionist at peak check out times.
Wouldnt be in a rush to go back.

A beautiful castle with large rooms and excellent touches — our fireplace, jacuzzi tub, and walk of the grounds made a short stay feel extra special.

First time in Ireland
Really liked staying in a castle. Enjoyed the overall feel. Liked the welcome tea. Didn't partake in the welcome champagne and information. Breakfast was good. Grounds were nice. Town was a 10 minute walk. Friendly staff.

Winter break
The warm welcome on arrival and the warmth of the room were a very good start to our 2 day stay and it got better with the complimentary tea and pre dinner champagne. The view from our bedroom window was superb. Excellent breakfasts but the dinners very over priced, wonderful desserts though. Will definitely return.
Stella
Love love love this place!
Totally recommend this hotel. I’ve stayed in many 5 star hotels like Ashford Castle and Lough Eske and can safely say this visit was up there as a wonderful experience. The free tea and scones and later on Prosecco and canapés were a lovely surprise. The impromptu music session in the bar was incredible, a mix of French Canadians and Irish got together for a sing song that kept us up to the wee hours because if was so much craic!! Can’t understand how anyone can write anything negative on this fabulous hotel.

Really unique property with a wonderful staff. Would definitely recommend
Christina
No hot water, kept being told it would be 10 minutes, 20 minutes etc. it ended up not coming back until the next morning. I wish they would have just been honest so I would have gone to bed instead of waiting for no reason. Staff were a bit cold, sat in the restaurant for AWHILE trying to flag someone down to order drinks and food. Restaurant's cashier woman was pretty rude as well.

Very enjoyable, great atmosphere. In particular there’s a lovely personal touch going on and they really look after our foreign tourists so well.

Very nice. It's a shame they ruin the view with petrol tanker for the heliport though.

Dated rooms. Other guests were asking to see their rooms first and it was clearly because some rooms had not be refinished in quite sometime. We got stuck in a very old room. Not at all what the photos on Expedia show.

Nice welcome. Tea and scones in afternoon and sparkling wine before dinner.

Disappointed
Disappointing. We were booked for three nights and only stayed one. If you are sensitive to musty space/mold reconsider this accommodation. The whole place is musty, you can smell it when you enter however our room was unbearable. It seemed like it was in the fabric drapes and bed canopy. The receptionist offered to show us one other room that was coming available but we were not convinced it would be any different. There were other travelers who were staying at Abbeyglen Castle Hotel while we were there saying how happy they were. We were not. If you have sensitivity to mold, think twice.
