ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
No matter where you have stayed in the world, the one sure thing about your visit to Dromoland Castle is that you will leave the estate secure in the knowledge that you have just visited one of the finest hotels that you are ever likely to frequent. One of the few estates that can trace its history back to native Gaelic families of Royal heritage, today Dromoland blends old world elegance with modern day comforts and serves as one of the most desired destinations in Europe. It's that good.
Dromoland's commitment to providing the highest level of service is absolute and upon entering the great castle doors, the worries of everyday life will recede under the care of Dromoland's attentive and friendly staff. As a venue for dining, Dromoland Castle is second to none. The Earl of Thomond Restaurant in the Castle has earned many international awards and is renowned for the creativity and quality of its cuisine and its extensive wine cellar. The Fig Tree Restaurant in the golf club offers similar quality in more casual surroundings.
Each room enjoys its own unique personality and blends old world charm with appropriate amenities, while offering attractive views of the herb garden, 16th century courtyard or shimmering lake. The leisure facilities at the golf club are quite something to behold, while the golf course itself, having recently undergone an extensive remodeling process under the guidance of Ron Kirby and Joe Carr, is now exactly what you would expect from a beautiful property such as Dromoland Castle. One could write for quite a while on the merits of Dromoland but two words sum it up. Sheer Quality!
