The location is superb, the staff more than helpful and the rooms were not just beautiful but warm and welcoming. There is an information prosecco welcoming evening. The history of the area and the hotel given in a wonderful story telling style, this reminds me of the old Irish tradition. I can not recommend this hotel enough

I always feel the most important aspect is not that a hotel is perfect but that life happens and things occur. We were not happy with our room at the start. When this was brought to the hotel, Carla at the reception was wonderful. She could not help enough. She really made our stay better than what I could have imagined

Abbeyglen Castle is a true gem. From the moment you arrive, the personal touch of the owners shines through — warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making your stay special. It’s this hospitality that turns a visit into a memorable experience. The setting is equally impressive: nestled in the stunning Connemara landscape, the views are breathtaking and the atmosphere is wonderfully peaceful. The castle itself has charm and character in abundance. Well worth the visit — not just for the location, but for the people who make it feel like home.

The whole experience.

The receptionist was welcoming and friendly. The evening talk with prosecco was great. Breakfast was good and the service was great. My room was a good size and comfortable.. I enjoyed the short walk into Clifden town.

The view from my room was of a rather disheveled garden which was a little disappointing. Perhaps that was just due to the time of year. The fire in the entrance hall struck me as rather wasteful (and environmentally unfriendly) given that that the front door was always open.

Location. Food. Piano Bar. Staff.

Nothing

It was unique and had kept the original style and qualities of the castle. The room was gorgeous and so spacious as well as having a beautiful bath. The staff were very nice and helpful. Brian and Ronan the owners were so welcoming and friendly and on hand to play their part which emphasises the care that is put into the premises. The breakfast was delicious and was definitely worth getting out of the very comfy bed for…which says a lot

Location is excelllent. The car park had an electric vehicle charger. The manager greeted us in the foyer. Reception staff went out of their way to help us when we had an issue with something. Dinner was excellent. I don’t want to give too much away but there’s real attention to detail in making you feel welcome. We really enjoyed our stay and will be keeping an eye on booking.com for future stays.

Can’t think of anything.

The hotel is stunning and set within lots of outdoor space and has a great walk down to the sea and tennis courts too. It is very impressive and doesn't disappoint. The owners pay extreme attention to detail and make every guest feel welcome with their personalised and friendly approach. Every evening they serve complimentary prosecco around the piano and the owners tell you the history of the building and local area - very interesting and entertaining! The food was amazing and there was a great selection. Would definitely return for another visit.

The bathroom was fairly tired looking

I will be coming back to this property, it was unlike any type of travel experience I’ve had. The rooms were beautiful, all of the shared areas were so cozy, the location was great, and the staff and owners were so kind and accommodating. They were very involved and told stories of the history and it was evident how much time and effort they put into their business to make it amazing for their guests! They also gave great recommendations and it was easy to find things to do in the area while also being outside of the busy cities.

The location and castle was great. It was walking distance to town and a small park (traveling with a toddler who loved it). Breakfast was also excellent, as was the wait staff. The proprietor was very present and informative. Rooms were spacious, & we would have liked to catch the historic chat, but missed it while out for dinner.

Overall everything was great, just not exceptional. Room was clean, but not spotless, a few small hairs in the bathroom and a loose pill. Front desk staff at check in were perfectly pleasant, but short with their responses & not elaborating when asking for recommendations.

The location, the calmness, the relaxing mood, the service. All wonderful !

If there is one thing I would prefer to be different is that we missed a shower head extension in the bathroom ( only bath or shower option right now ). So please consider this for any future bath renovation / alternation.
