Truly surprised by the Castle Dargan Hotel (stay date 17th October 2023). I am a seasoned traveler and usually stay in high end hotels. I went to Castle Dargan midweek and didn't expect very much due to the low price. How wrong I was! The hotel was exceptional. The staff were as friendly as could be. The room was more spacious than most and recently decorated (kudos to the painters - very good job). The hotel was spotless. I hoped to hit a few balls on the driving range but the weather conspired against me. With that said, the golf course looked very appealing. The Spa also looked top notch. My partner very much enjoyed a couple of hours in the Spa. I am Coeliac and there was no problem with getting a Gluten Free breakfast (made to order and had GF sausages). Overall I really enjoyed my stay and I am already planning a return visit.

This is a lovely hotel which could be so much better with 100 little tweaks, fixes I was unable to put anything else on my room tab, I think my account was opened and closed upon Checkin. That’s never happened me anywhere else in the world that I have stayed. Button on the Shower was broken Tap on the sink wasn’t fixed solid Shower control in the Spa didn’t work Need a Maintenance Person to do the tweaks and give the place a little TLC The staff were all amazing and friendly The Breakfasts could move up a notch, food excellent but felt very Butlins, Coffee in a pot was like dishwater, we found out that we could order nicer coffee though the bar. Kid control: Guests kids attending a Wedding were knocking on our bedroom door until about 10pm, slightly annoying, but other Guests might complain

Everyone greeted us warmly and were attentive without being intrusive. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. Very comfortable bedding and large bathroom, although the toilet bowl was situated very tight to a wall. We enjoyed a tasty lunch overlooking the scenic golf course. Breakfast offered a good choice and again was top class. We will definitely return to this gem of a hotel.
