This was a wonderful 3 night stay. The weather was pretty grim but the atmosphere and the ambiance more than made up for it. Some of the other reviewers thought it was tired. If you want a new plastic hotel then go to one of the chains. It takes people and character to create ambiance. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, the... More

I had read many reviews before we stayed here so was hoping that we would end up in a nice bedroom as we dont often stay in castles! Luck was with us and we were given a fabulous room with huge four poster bed, gas fire and at least five windows with a beautiful view. I managed to see other... More

We were travelling through Western Ireland and stayed at the Abbey Glen Castle Hotel. Host Brian Hughes invites the quests to a champagne cocktail and guests from all over the world arrive and within an hour we are talking to one another. Most other hotels don't do this sort of thing and it is a welcome treat. Later in the... More

I stayed on Abbeyglen Castel Hotel last August recommended and booked by the Tourist Office in Galway. What a disappointment this hotel was! You assume that being a foreign tourist a Tourist Office would recommend you something 100% right, so there I went to see beautiful Conemmara and its capital. I arrived exausted and really didn't have any strength to... More

We have visited The Abbey Glen over the last 12 years. We go at least once sometimes twice a year. The rooms are beautifully appointed with four poster bed, sitting area, gas fire (which is seldom required as the hotel is always warm) and lovely bathroom. The food is outstanding; the evening meals (which are included in the price) is... More

Other than Gilbert, the noisy parrot in the lobby, the Abbeyglen provided a relaxing and stunning place to stay. Located above Clifden, views are beautiful. The rooms are large. Ours had a gas fireplace, a sitting area and a large bathroom with claw footed tub. Internet is available in the lobby, but not the rooms. Canopied beds were adequate, but... More

The Abbeyglen Castle was recommended to us by a friend and although we only stayed one night it was very hard to fault anything about the place. It is in a lovely setting, the staff were all excellent (and some of them very entertaining!) and it had a really relaxed atmosphere. We were upgraded to a superior room which was... More

A really charming site with what appears to be a 15th century castle! OK it's 19th century but still just as pretty. We were upgraded to a huge room with gaz fireplace and canopy bed. Great bathroom espcially the shower . The staff were helpful and pleasant. The only negative was the restaurant. We did not like having a French... More

Lovely place combining the best aspects of a castle stay with the homeyness and fun of a great B and B. Cozy turf fire in the bar where every guest in the castle shows of for oceans of complimentary Champagne in the hour or so before dinner. Outstanding salmon caught practically in the back yard. And the highlight may have... More
