What guests think

Guests describe Abbeyglen Castle Hotel as a welcoming, characterful stay, highlighted by the owner’s convivial champagne-and-history gathering, beautiful grounds, and convenient walk to Clifden, with many appreciating spacious, comfortable rooms and the castle’s old-world charm blended with useful modern touches.

Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and personal. Many rooms are spacious and comfortable with lovely views, though some guests found elements dated, noted minor maintenance quirks, or experienced noise from outdoor areas. Dinner and breakfast draw frequent praise and the bar’s live music adds atmosphere, with a couple of notes about price or an uneven breakfast item. Best for travelers seeking a lively castle experience rather than cutting-edge modernity.

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!

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 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?!

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.
