Dromoland Castle

Dromoland Castle

10/10 Excellent
"I will be back. Going to Dromoland is like living in a bubble on the lush grounds, with lakes for boating/fishing, a challenging golf course with scenic views, old timey activities (clay pigeon shooting, archery, falconry, afternoon tea) and staff that aims to please. We had two children that received welcome gifts and personalized itineraries upon check-in. The food was top notch (I'm not a big eater but cleaned my plate each time). The rooms were spacious and the grounds were so well kept. It felt like traveling back to a simpler time away from the hassels of today. Anytime a staff person would pass in the halls, they'd politely say hello and ask if they could help in any way. One staffer was leaving for the day but walked us through the garden to the Fig Tree (less formal restaurant near the golf clubhouse) and took family pictures of us on the way. A truly magical place that my family won't forget."
