The grounds on the property were spectacular. I truly was in awe! I loved that they offered horseback rides, saunas, and the pool was truly amazing! A special shoutout to Alice and Rui for taking care of us for breakfast each morning and remembering us. They really helped make us feel celebrated in our engagement. Another shout out to Jason for being able to spot us out and introduce himself to us and congratulate us on our engagement.

Our stay was wonderful and we really enjoyed the atmosphere. I hadn’t realized ahead of time that the room didn’t have air conditioning—just the fresh breeze from the balcony doors (along with a few unexpected eight-legged visitors!).

We love our stay at the Dunloe Castle. The staff super friendly and willing to help you with all the needs you might have. They can arrange tours for you and pick up/drop off at the hotel. Maxine from the front desk team was very helpful and super nice as well as his colleague (can’t remember his name, but he was super helpful too). From the restaurant I can highlight the great service given by Krisztine and Paulo. They were so attentive and friendly and took very well care of us. The breakfast is amazing, plenty of options and you also have the buffet. The swimming pool was great and the fairy trail amazed us with all the little hidden houses around. It’s a great hotel with a great team. From the housekeeping, Back/Front of house. We’ll definitely come back! Thank you for everything.

This place was handcrafted by the gods for their sanctuary away from the noise of the world. The room was spacious, with a luxurious en suite bathroom. The staff was perfectly polite and helpful, and they took very good care of us. The dinners prepared for the both of us were so heavenly that my husband (who is the pickier one between us) said the chef must be practicing magic to create the aromas and flavors we were blessed with. Words can't explain the spectacular way the buildings were designed and placed to provide the most breathtaking view during meals and while walking the grounds. I almost want to recommend you stay away so I can have this place all to myself, but you simply must book a stay here if you wish for a break from the world for a while.

If you are driving yourself to the Dunloe, the road is narrow. Otherwise, everything was beyond my expectations

We spent two nights at the Dunloe Hotel and Gardens, while exploring the Dingle Peninsula and Kerry Ring Roads. The hotel is very modern and beautiful, with nice bar and great breakfast. We ate dinner their the first night and it was very good. We enjoyed the grounds including and seeing the 12 century castle ruins. The room was excellent. We even took a ride on the Austrian ponies (free with room). Apparently lots of families there in summer, but we were there in Sept so more adults. We drove the Dunloe pass which was amazing (not an easy drive but amazing experience).

Beautiful views from outside in the gardens. The food was fantastic. Service and staff exceptional.

Only one area in the restaurant for dining. A tapas menu in the bar? Maybe a bar menu to give more eating options for people. I’ve no issues with children but too many running around all over the place especially in the swimming area were we could not use the pool. Maybe if there were time restrictions in place for the pool it would be better. If id known it was so family orientated with children id of booked the Europe hotel instead.

The facilities were good. Beautiful scenery. Nice swimming pool. Horse riding is ideal for families. Staff were friendly.

Safe didn't work in the room. Towels not available in swimming pool (ladies changing room). Swimming togs dryer didn't work. Lot of confusion at breakfast. Shower door was off the hinges and water was pouring onto the floor.

Stunning properly. Absolutely gorgeous hotel and the food and breakfast and room were fabulous. Being able to play tennis, horse ride, swim in an impressively large pool perfect for lengths was really enjoyable and the staff could not have been friendlier or more accommodating.

Our room was a bit dated… like it was built in the early 00’s for an elderly American couple… but this was balanced with the most incredible view so hard to complain! The spa was very disappointing. Not much there and neither the sauna nor the steam room were remotely hot enough so we couldn’t Enjoy the benefits of either. Would stay again but only if we could avail of lots more of the outdoor facilities and the surrounding area. For spa alone we’d stay in the Europe next time if spending this kind of money.

Everything! Stunning hotel in the most incredible location. Perfect for our last few days in the area so we could have some R&R around the amazing location. Room was perfect for us, with plenty of space Breakfast was so good, and so much choice. Dinner was ace. All staff and service were amazing.

Room was great, wonderful view, loads of space, the only issue would be that they seemed to block everyone who was staying (not many) in one section which meant being surrounded by young, loud children - as we were staying 2 nights it wasn't an issue, but any longer we may have asked to move room. People smoke on the balconies, so that was an issue. herbal teas might be a nice addition

Stunning views, professional and attentive staff, comfortable bed and great food. We had a family room which had a separate but adjoining room for children with a separate shower room. Also the large balcony was great.

The lack of hotel information provided- there is a chat bot or you would have to ask reception about things. I prefer to have all the information about facilities, grounds, how to access in one place easy to access eg in the room. The shower over the bath stopped working.

Beautiful surroundings, and walks around the gardens are superb. Balcony room had an amazing view of the Gap of Dunloe. Bed was very comfortable and the room was perfect. Staff also very friendly and helpful.

My only small dislike was that the bar lacked a bit of atmosphere! Apart from that everything was lovely.
