How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

Why we love it
About This Hotel
Through the grand stone gates, a royal adventure begins. This remarkable 800-year-old castle, widely recognized as Ireland’s top castle destination, is exceptional in every sense.
The 13th century Ashford Castle is the oldest castle hotel in Ireland. A luxury hotel with the charm and dignity of its original architecture, it's located just 45-minutes from Galway City by car. The estate was once home to Lord Ardilaun and the Guinness family, but has been welcoming guests as a luxury hotel since 1939.
In 2013, Ashford Castle became part of the Red Carnation Collection, who began a loving restoration project and now offers 83 bespoke bedrooms and a lakeside cottage. Each is individually designed with antiques, marble fittings, unique artwork, and sumptuous fabrics and furnishings. Follow the centuries-old tradition and enjoy a candlelit dinner in the privacy and comfort of your room.
Dining options include formal in the George V to casual in the Dungeon or Cullen’s at the Cottage or private dining in the Wine Cellar. There is a 32 seat cinema, a library, Spa, Billiards room, Cigar terrace and beautiful public lounges with complimentary high speed Wi-Fi throughout.
The Ashford Estate offers an extensive range of activities including Orvis fly fishing to Ireland’s first school of falconry. Evocative of an elegant and bygone age and yet perfectly adapted to the needs of this modern one.
