Even though the hotel is old its charm, character and history make it a very warm and welcoming place to visit. Paul and his staff ensure that guests needs are taken care of and the attention to detail in general is excellent. The quality of food was superb in the restaurant with excellent service making dining a very pleasant experience.... More

One-time grand castle in nice setting is now a bit drab and worn. Food is not great. Parrot in lobby is a great touch. Staff is friendly. No wi-fi in rooms. No hair dryer was to be found. We obtained one from the desk. When my daughter attempted to use it, flames shot from a defective cord, singing her sweater... More

From the minute we arrived we felt welcomed. My husband was not feeling well and the staff was so helpful. They said to let us know if there was anything they could do for us. and it was sincere. The next day several people asked if he was feeling better. Dinner service was excellent and the food was wonderful. Roger... More

We were very excited to stay in a "castle" for our anniversary and the location did not disappoint! This hotel sits atop a hill over the cute town of Clifden and although it appears old the hotel was quite cozy!! The room, hile slightly dated, was clean and comfortable. The lobby area was very nice with comfortable chairs and a... More

Very reasonably priced for such a great hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Great entertainment at night. Beautiful surroundings. Gorgeous room with four poster bed and fireplace in the room. Fantastic breakfast. Only negative is the spa, the hot tub had not been cleaned. It seemed as if it hadn't been used in a long time, in fact the lady at reception... More

This is my 5th stay at the Abbeyglen and each time I experience a "over-the-moon" experience. The family that own/operate the castle are very hands-on, always hovering over the guests to make sure all is well. They are not only entertaining, literally in their pub in the evening, but very professional and friendly with their approach to "every" customer that... More

My wife and I wanted to get "off the grid" for a few days, so I needed a great cover story to tell my team. What better explanation to give than to say, "I'm staying in a castle on the coast of Ireland. You won't be able to reach me there." As we entered the third hour of our drive... More

We arrived a little later than we wanted and when shown to our room, 3 people staying in a superior room with 3 beds, we were offered a complimentary extra room, probably had plenty open, but the manager didn't have to do that, so that was a very nice touch. The breakfast was very good and the servers very attentive. More

I booked a reservation here and tried to confirm the week before I traveled. They never responded to me so I stayed elsewhere. They did however charge my credit card for the stay. Still no response from them as to that matter. Unresponsive, could care less about the guests just the money. More

Just back from weekend break in Clifden. Stayed again at the Abbeyglen Castle and had a most enjoyable time. All the staff are so helpful and you feel that nothing would be to much trouble for them. They seem to have perfected the art of making each guest feel as though they are the centre of attention. Paul and Brian... More
