A relaxing atmosphere with pleasant staff. The room was extremely spacious and luxurious. Breakfast was what a 5* hotel should offer. Beautiful setting.

The castle was gorgeous & offered numerous amenities, many of which, the duration of our stay did not allow us time to enjoy.

5.0 / 10.0

Excellent stay at Lough Eske Castle. The food in the bar and service were the best. I highly recommend the chowder, huge chunks of seafood. We took the walk around the lake. Beautiful. Smells were amazing. The only thing I wished is that I could get the room cooler, it just didn’t get cool enough to sleep. A very first work problem but that would be the only drawback.

The staff was so friendly and professional. The accommodations were absolutely stunning and the grounds were very well kept. I had a massage at the spa which was very relaxing and well worth what I spent. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

Lovely stay in our upgraded Tower Suite. The grounds and gardens are beautiful. The Father Browne photography exhibit in the basement in the pub is well worth checking out. The staff were very friendly.

6.0 / 10.0

The hotel was stunning. The bell hop was fantastic nicest man you ever hoped to meet truly kind, funny and helpful. The grounds were beautiful. Our room was unbearably hot, no fan to be had. we couldn't get room service no matter how many times we called. The fine dining was abysmal, the menu limited and the chicken overcooked and dry. The bar food was better. Would never pay close to $600 again for a hot room and inability to get ice delivered.

6.0 / 10.0

Beautiful property but for 5 stars, little things were not up to standard. Our towel warmer barely heated and we had brown water giving out if the shower and sinks one of the two days we stayed. Even the maintenance person said to bring it up to the front desk, and when we did they only offered to refund 10% of one night. Like that's anything to compensate for been water at a 5 star hotel......

10.0 / 10.0

Dylan the bellhop was great as were the bartenders and wat staff. Stupendous grounds and amenities. Opulent rooms. Difficult drive.

We had a wonderful time at Lough Eske Castle. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we settled in nicely. We enjoyed exploring the grounds on the bicycles that were provided. Dinner at Cedars was delicious

It is luxurious. No other way to describe this castle.

2.0 / 10.0

The room was not cleaned. Bathroom was filthy. This was one of the expensive hotel we paid $680 for one night . We have to wait for one hour for check in. We thought we would stay in castle, no all the rooms are in side wings. We got one of the side wing room. Very disappointed. I called hotel.com right away yesterday and they tried to reach the front office but no one answered. I spoke with this front office manager today, he addressed me concerns and apologized for the inconvenience and he promised me to compensate us through the hotel.com because we don’t have any outstanding balance, can you pls follow up with them.

5.0 / 10.0

Lovely castle. Beautiful, large rooms and a great bathroom too. Great food, and very accommodating with food intolerances. Excellent service all around. Perhaps a little overpriced compared to some other great stays in Ireland. But I would recommend.

6.0 / 10.0

Property is beautiful, large rooms, comfortable bed. The staff and service was very average and not worth the price. Wait staff in restaurants always seemed overwhelmed but not busy. Restaurant was out of several things on the menu. Towel heater in the room not functioning. If the price was less, none of this would have mattered.

The staff was very friendly and the room was very modern for a castle. It was a little bit of a walk to our room from the front desk. Easy parking and very nice atmosphere.

8.0 / 10.0

Google Maps spoiled our arrival as it took us in the back at and not up the main drive to the front of the hotel. The staff were very friendly but there was only one receptionist on duty and we had to wait in line for 7-8 minutes to check in (disappointing as we had already checked in online). We had a similar wait at checkout for the same reason. The room also had a couple of faults which was disappointing for this level of establishment but other than that, everything was superb. The staff were all efficient and friendly and the food in the restaurant was delicious. Such a pity that our stay was tarnished as initial impressions count for so much.

10.0 / 10.0

Gorgeous grounds and beautiful pool and steam room. The rooms were quite warm - even in 48 degree weather. There is no AC so you have to keep windows open-but we didn't get much crosswind from that. Delicious restaurants throughout. The staff was amazing !
