We booked a king lake view room. It had heated floors, blackout curtains, beautiful art and the room was gorgeous. We felt like royalty. The staff was friendly and helpful in every way. We had the traditional Irish breakfast it was delicious. We did the falconry walk and boat rife of the lake. So much fun. The town of Cong is charming too. You will absolutely love Ashford Castle. The history is incredible and the art, bars, and restaurants are impeccable.

It’s the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The room was beautiful and well appointed. They’ve thought of every possible need you might have. You’re treated like a king or queen. The restaurants are first class. The service is second to none. If you have the opportunity to stay there don’t hesitate.
