Golden Anniversary in a Golden Hotel
Pros:

It’s impossible to criticize Dromoland Castle and its superior staff! We celebrated our 50th- wedding anniversary here on the exact date of our marriage 50 years ago, when we also stayed here for part of our honeymoon. This nostalgic trip was met with such gracious treatment. The front gate greeted and congratulated us; the check-in staff in the lobby did the same. Our room was beyond our expectations (and also much improved over the 50 years)! We were upgraded to a beautiful corner room in one of the towers, with sublime views of the grounds. When do you ever hear the words,”Everything in the mini-bar and room is complementary”? Special 50th-anniversary treats in the room were such a nice touch. Breakfasts were fantastic, from the buffet to the cooked-to-order; traditional full-Irish breakfast and the shaksuka were delicious. Don’t miss the scones. Service in the bar was cozy, friendly, and prompt. Dinners at the Fig Tree were equally grand…along with the surprise dessert. Golf was excellent with a fine staff, a first-class course, and bag tag and tee perks. The best treat for me, while the husband golfed, was the falconry experience. Mike shared his passionate expertise with these birds, and interacting with falcons, hawks, and owls was unforgettable. Wish we knew the names of all the great staff who made this visit so memorable. Shout-outs to Aidan in the lobby, Mike the falconer, and all the outstanding members of Dromoland. Thank you for everything.

Pros:

This property was very luxurious castle which I would say is a must when traveling throughout Ireland. The rooms were well equipped and without a doubt had the best beds we have slept in. Cocktails were on point, and the staff was highly accommodating. The breakfast was amazing, and a perfect send off for the last stop on our journey through Ireland

Excellent property and services, I would highly recommend. One surprise heritage fee €25 a day that is not disclosed, informed until you receive the bill, I wonder is this transparent (it is additional fee that you are not informed).
