    An unforgettable experience at this Irish manor located in County Galway. The staff were attentive and meticulous from the moment we passed through the gates. Ample parking, fantastic gardens, and a stunning lake provide the perfect backdrop for Ashford Castle. The afternoon tea was a true delight—featuring authentic local flavors and treats prepared and presented with great care by the manager, who pampered us throughout our visit. Highly recommended.

    What a wonderful experience we had, when we came to Ashford castle for Paula pastry. From the welcome at the castle gate, to the pleasant chat with the gentleman at the bridge gate house, a wonderful welcome at reception. A little chat with Paddy , our confident hostess was able to describe and explain what we were being served, Paula herself came out with one of our courses and had a chat with us, the food was absolutely delicious. Served in luxurious surroundings. Our afternoon was completed by a wander around the very well kept grounds.
