Extraordinaire !
Pros:

Dès notre arrivée nous avons été enchantés par la beauté du château. Après avoir passé la porte nous avons été plongés dans une ambiance "so irish". Notre chambre était grande, bien équipée et très coocouning. Le plus spectaculaire aura été le discours de bienvenu du propriétaire du château. Une demi heure de plaisir accompagnée de champagne. Le petit déjeuner était très copieux et de très bonne qualité. Les équipes de serveurs ont été très sympathiques et attentives au point que, nous avons eu notre petit drapeau corse à notre table. L'emplacement du château est idéal, directement au départ de la Sky Road. Clifden qui est à 5min à pied de l'hôtel est très charmante. Vous y trouverez différents pubs avec de la musique traditionnelle . Pour terminer, un grand merci à Brian et Ronan, les propriétaires du château.

Pros:

Super lokalizacja, ładny obiekt, muzyka na żywo wieczorem w barze. Przyjemne śniadanie, bardzo fajny pomysł z wprowadzeniem do historii obiektu i okolicy przy prosecco.

Cons:

Specyficzny klimat prawicowej arystokracji, budynkowi przydałoby się odświeżenie

Wonderful experience at the Abbeyglen
Pros:

Myself and my wife stayed in the Abbeyglen in April. We had a great experience. Staff were friendly and professional. We received the warmest of welcomes. Amazing atmosphere in the evening. The food was without doubt the best hotel food that I've ever experienced. We will be back!

Totally Overpriced
Cons:

Mais où sont les 4 étoiles annoncées dans cet hôtel vieillissant ? Des feux de cheminées au gaz, des vulgaires bonbons dans les bonbonnes , de vieux drapeaux sur les tables , une restauration average , l expérience 4 étoiles est inexistante , le tarif des chambres est exhorbitant au regard de l expérience !

Très décevant vu son prix
Pros:

Le petit dej et le dîner

Cons:

Très décevant le rapport qualité prix
C’est le prix d’un 5 étoiles !
L’eau de la douche était marron je n’ai jamais vu ça dans un hôtel qui annoncent 4 étoiles !
Chambre mal insonorisée
Hôtel vieillissant
Ménage pas impeccable les fenêtres sont sales

Great stay, brilliant staff and service.
Pros:

Lovely hotel, the staff were on their game, really friendly and helpful from the moment we drove into the carpark. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well sized. There's a large garden the kids explored that leads to a nearby playground on the edge of the town and a tennis court that's not in the best condition but fine for some exercise none the less. There's a champagne reception pre dinner that was a lovely touch and a talk on the history of the place and surrounding area that was really engaging. Dinner was really good even with young kids there was no issues and plenty of choice. Again the service was really good and there was a great atmosphere in the room. Will be returning

Prachtige locatie om te zien en van het uitzicht en omgeving van natuur en rust te genieten.
Pros:

Ruime parkeergelegenheid. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, bereid om te helpen met uitladen van koffers, maar niet opdringerig. Ruime kamers, smaakvol ingericht en gericht op gemak en comfort. Voor een kort verblijf voldoende keuze op de menukaart in het restaurant. Gerechten goed van smaak en prachtige presentatie. De wat statige uitstraling van het hotel wordt doorbroken door de wijze waarop personeel gasten benaderd, niet amicaal, maar vriendelijk, vrolijk en open. De pianist tijdens diner en in de bar brengen sfeer en maken wel dat mensen makkelijker met elkaar in contact komen, wanneer zij daar behoefte aan hebben, want er is genoeg ruimte om met je eigen groep te blijven.

Cons:

Bij een langdurig verblijf (>5 dagen) is de kaart in het restaurant wel beperkt.

Charming castle with stunning grounds and great hospitality
Pros:

Amazing castle with stunning grounds that were beautiful to explore. They have a free wine and history talk every evening by the castle owner that was very interesting and fun. They took our picture that night and handed it to us when we checked out.
