Summary: This is an amazing place to stay…you are truly treated like royalty from check in to dining to check out. 100% recommend staying here if you are in the area!!! Also recommend the whiskey tasting!!

Summary: 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.

Summary: Perfection!
Tabatha Jun 10, 2025 08:54:54 PM
Summary: 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

Summary: It is luxurious. No other way to describe this castle.
Solamon Jun 1, 2025 08:11:13 PM
Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
James May 28, 2025 07:14:07 PM
Summary: 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.
Bryce May 23, 2025 07:11:50 PM
Summary: Loved it
Michael Steven May 19, 2025 01:15:31 AM
Summary: Beautiful retreat. Peaceful, classy and worth it!
