Magical stay. Always.
Your activities facility is fantastic! Clay shooting. Horse back riding thru the amazing woods. Breakfast service wonderful. The small town Cong walking distance is a great place to spend the day in. Everyone is so friendly and happy. Magical stay. I do see that barroom needed some upkeep. The backs of the shower handle area looked poorly attached

This was our second time staying 2 nights at Asford Castle and it exceeded all expectations. The moment we pulled into the front gate it started our amazing experience. All staff, food, and accommodations were truly 5 star. The customer service is like no other.

Our stay at the Ashford Castle was truly amazing! Our first time there was memorable. Upon entering, we were greeted with such style and made us feel like we were royalty. Accomodations were breathtaking too. If you are planning a trip, make sure to book afternoon tea and the hawk walk at the falconry school. The only miss was that we stayed for one night, way too short to enjoy all that they have to offer. We will definitely be coming back.
