   I had a work colleague visiting from Hong Kong and Ashford Castle was the perfect location. The weather was magnificent which added enormously to the garden walks in advance of eating. The food was delicious as always and all staff we met were truly so customer centric. What a special team, from the moment we arrived at the entrance gates to our departure. Our guest from Hong Kong was in awe. The beauty of Ashford Castle sells itself but the full team add the warmth to the exceptional hospitality. Thank you, for yet another beautiful visit.

   This was an amazing experience. We had a last minute adjustment to our party size (2 instead of 3) and the staff was so accommodating. They were all attentive and kind without being overbearing. The food and drinks were phenomenal, with a lovely view of the grounds. I would absolutely recommend this experience!

   Lovely setting but food was very disappointing! The potato and leek soup was more like flavoured water but the bread was very fresh and delicious. The beef brisket baguette was pleasant but better quality could easily be found elsewhere. Would not recommend or return for the food.

   Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea. It was pure magic. We didn’t want to leave. It’s breathtaking from the moment you set your eyes on the castle & drive onto the grounds. Pure heaven 🏰 we plan on going back soon.
