Gregans Castle Hotel

Gregans Castle is one of THE best hotel experiences we have had in over 10 years of extensive international travel. Staying here is like having your own en-suite in a family member's home. The hotel is oh so cozy and warm. Fires burn in the several fireplaces, giving off a pleasant aroma. The staff here treat you like family, from the front desk, to the bartender, to the restaurant staff. Our room was perfect, with all the amenities but a definite antique, "good old days" ambiance. The grounds are simply gorgeous, easily walkable and quiet. Be sure and enjoy a coffee or cocktail in the warm and cozy den near the bar. The restaurant is world class, featuring items from nearby suppliers. Our breakfasts and dinner were among the best of our entire Ireland vacation. If you love cats, this is your place. They have many rescue kitties on the property, but they are not a distraction if you are not a cat lover. Gregans Castle is simply one of the best hotels in Ireland. Period!

What a wonderful place. This was our second time to visit, we stayed here in November last year also. Everything here is fab, the staff, the decor, the rooms, the welcome and the delicious food. We would highly recommend and hope to make our visit an annual event. Special thanks to Eanna who went above and beyond to help us charge our car. Thank you

My wife and I stayed in this hotel when we visited Ireland several years ago. We vowed to come back one day. We booked a deluxe room this time, which was a good move. Our room had an enormous picture window overlooking a beautiful flower garden. It was one of the few times my wife and I both went "Wow" upon entering a hotel room. The bathroom was very spacious with two sinks. This hotel has a generous dose of antiques, oriental rugs and friendly cats. The service was impeccable. We had dinner in the restaurant, our best meal in Ireland. There was one fly in the ointment, however. As is our habit, we left tips for various services in the hotel. However, just as we were about to leave and settle our bill, the lady at the front desk, called our attention to a 5% service charge that had been added to our bill. She awkwardly asked if the service was ok. The amount added was less than we usually leave at a fine hotel with excellent service but was in addition to tips we had already left. We were not informed of the extra. charge when we booked the hotel or when we checked in. Unfortunately, we will not likely return to this otherwise splendid hotel.

From the minute you arrive you just chill and relax. All staff are friendly and informative. Food out of this world. Ingredients from their own garden or locally sourced. As a vegetarian I was treated exactly the same as the meat eaters which makes a pleasant change.

Gregans is an absolute gem in the Burren. As a repeat guest, we love the top quality service, welcoming staff, exquisite food and the feel of being totally spoiled. There are a number of hikes of various complexities nearby. We will be back again soon.
