Amazing stay at Dromoland castle! Will certainly come back!
Pros:

Amazing property. Gave the castle touch but with modern amenities and living space inside that was updated so we were very comfortable. The staff was exceptional and very accommodating to our needs especially with little ones of 5 and 2. Will certainly come back! Perhaps on a 2-3 night layover stay en route to another city given its proximity to an international airport.

Cons:

Distance from the pool and fitness center to the main building

het is een mooi kateel maar ik zou niet meer gaan
Pros:

de wandeling in de tuin

Cons:

de kamer is erg duur voor wat je krijgt. We konden geen spa boeken want er was personeels tekort en ook alle andere activiteiten waren volgeboekt.

Felt like a budget Disneyland. Not luxurious as advertised.
Pros:

The grounds were lovely. Room was comfortable.

Cons:

Food was sub standard and very commercial. The full Irish breakfast was disappointing! The sausage or meats were spoiled and gave me diarrhea . I had to take a taxi to a pharmacy. Not happy experience.

Pros:

It was a beautiful facility and the staff was so accommodating. The room was comfortable and set up as we requested - 2 twin beds for my daughter and me vs 1 king size bed. We were treated well and enjoyed things like valet, baggage handling and turn down service. Delightful!

Cons:

It was expensive and then you had to pay for many other things while you were there. It was a splurge for us.
