Pros:

Sehr hübsches kleines Schloßhotel.
Edel und gemütlich eingerichtet.
Außenanlage ist sehr schön.

Die Familienzimmer sind groß und praktisch.

Badezimmer ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und dürftig bestückt, aber alles ist sehr sauber und ordentlich.

Tolles Schlosshotel in toller Anlage aber mit Schwächen im Service trotz stolzen Preisen
Pros:

Tolle Anlage, sehr schönes Gebäude, geräumiges Zimmer; die freilaufenden irischen Wolfshunde sind ein Hingucker

Cons:

Personal beim Abendessen sehr aufdringlich und unfreundlich. 1 Essen wurde falsch geliefert und das richtige Essen dauerte dann so lange, dass die anderen bereits mit Essen fertig waren. Bei Rechnungsstellung hieß es, dass ein Getränk aufgrund des Fehlers nicht berechnet wurde aber tatsächlich war die Rechnung falsch gestellt und das fehlerhaft gelieferte, teuerere Essen stand noch auf der Rechnung.
Beim Frühstück war nur normaler Kaffee inbegriffen, Cappuchino etc. kostete Aufpreis. Das muss bei diesem Übernachtungspreis inklusive sein!

Somehow they make a castle feel like home!
Pros:

Such a joyful experience! We especially enjoyed the dining and meeting Esther, who gave us all the best tips as we explored Dingle. The dogs being in and around the castle made it feel like home and the personal touches like family pictures reminded us of the history of the castle. Excellent service and gorgeous grounds. We highly recommend!

Cons:

Nothing
