Dear domhnall_kaps
I would like to personally thank you ever so much for all of your very kind and lovely words about Ashford Castle. I am delighted that you enjoyed all aspects of your stay with us and had the opportunity to explore the grounds...More
This was another stop on our Remington Steele pilgrammage, where many of the exterior Season 5 shots were taken. For us there was sentimental value and some nice photos. But if you're not staying here, you won't get within spitting distance of the castle itself....More
We stayed here our last night on our Irish Vacation for my husband's 50th birthday. From the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out, we were well-attended to. Everyone was delightful, the castle and grounds were amazing, and we absolutely enjoyed our...More
The outside of the castle is a stunning sight to see but unfortunately you are not allowed inside without being a guest of the hotel. You pay at the main gate and take a long windy drive towards the castle where you can park in...More

I do not remember a mini bar, if one were there we did not use it.

Hi! I'd just like to know what the atmosphere is like at Ashford Castle. I'd like to go there for a special occasion with my family but I have 3 young children. They are fairly well behaved but I don't want to spend 3 days shushing them and although the castle looks divine I'd be worried its patrons are so fancy my kids would be getting the evil eye for all their squeals and laughter! Would this be an ok place to take kids under 12?

I would imagine that Ashford has plenty to offer children. If it's dry, there is a world to explore outside. There are plenty of activities hosted by the hotel - at a cost. During my brief stay, I did not notice any children, but the place is so large that any child-like behaviour would simply be smiled at. What the others have said I shall not repeat, but agree about the facilities. Go armed with a bag of goodies - bribery rules in parenting!

HI Bradley,
What a wonderful post. My husband and I are planning to celebrate our 15th year anniversary at the Ashford Castle. We are coming in on the 28th of December and then flying back home, to Chicago, on December 31st. A total of three nights and four days. My husband and I have never been outside of the country, United States, and the last trip we went on was our honeymoon to Hawaii. We are looking forward to it. My husband is Irish and this is a dream for him. I was wondering, though, if travel weather wise to Ireland in December is ideal? What are your thoughts on that? We don't plan on renting a car since we have such little time, but did book dinners in the formal dining room as well as two picnic lunches on the grounds. I was hoping to schedule a horse back ride as well. Thoughts? Recommendations? Reassurances? I am hoping we aren't making a mistake to travel to Ireland in December. The plane tickets have already been purchased and the room reserved. Hoping you have some good thoughts for me. Thank you again for your wonderful post. Amy (Illinois, United States, mother to four and married to Philip for almost 15 years)....:)

Hello,
We are delighted that you will be visiting us later this year. The estate is beautiful all year around, and there is a lot still to discover in winter. The days are shorter but you can enjoy the boat trips, falconry, horse riding, archery can be held inside if the weather is inclement.
I would recommend calling our reservations team to talk through the ranges of activities available, or send an email to concierge who might be able to pull together an itinerary for your stay.
Many thanks and see you this winter.
