My wife and I were due to stay in Gregan's Castle just over two weeks ago to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Let me first of all say the following, the hotel setting is gorgeous and the room the hotel provided us with was lovely. I had agreed a room upgrade with the hotel before we arrived, they were happy to... More

My whole family enjoyed a night here with dinner to celebrate my sister's graduation. It is a spot in the middle of no where with no traffic disruption. It is not so much a castle as an old manor house but is still very beautiful. We were in a suite for the night which was exceptional, loads of space and... More

Possibly the best view of any hotel in Ireland? The rooms at the front of the hotel are far superior to those in the new part of the building, both in terms of sytyle and location. Service is excellent, warm but not too fussy. Best of all is the food in the restaurant which is good as you'll get anywhere.... More

A truly special place tucked away in a magical setting. We were made to feel like royalty through our stay. The thought that has gone into the decoration of the hotel is truly brilliant. The food was great and to die for. While the cost of accommodation is high it is worth it to be totally indulged and pampered. More

This is a really special place. The setting, the buildings, the decor, the staff, the service - all are faultless. It is so discrete and so friendly. And the food is amazing. It is worth every penny and more. More

Having read OsfromOz review, was thinking about canceling, but am I delighted we did not. Service was excellent. We asked for a wine to be suggested with the evening meal and one of the least expensive was recommended. Food is excellent both evening meal and breakfast. Our room was the Rose room and it was very nice. Very relaxing few... More

Stayed recently for two nights, friday and saturday. Booked online 10 weeks ago. This was a deal for two nights, two breakfasts and one six course meal in the restaurant. Please note, when you book on line there is a warning down the page which asks you to book your dinner (days and times) as the restaurant sometimes gets booked... More

We the owners of Gregans Castle Hotel have always respected the right of our guests to voice their opinions of our hotel on Tripadvisor whether positive, encouraging, negative or outrageous. However this Tripadvisor “review” is one we believe we must use our right of owners response to object to most vociferously. Due to the anonymity of Tripadvisor postings we have... More
