Ashford Castle
County Mayo, Ireland
Discover the magic of the Ashford Estate
As Ireland's first and only Forbes Five Star Hotel and the former home of the Guinness family, Ashford Castle is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The hotel has reopened, we very much look forward to welcoming you back to the Ashford Estate.
Ancient walls & storied rooms
Our differences
A favourite welcome drink on arrival, fresh-cut bouquets in the suites, candlelit turndowns, personalised gifts, complimentary use of our ‘wellies’... these all create a cosseting experience that make guests feel truly valued.
Meet our team
Led by General Manager Niall Rochford, with over 30 years of service, every member is empowered to make a difference, offering exceptionally considerate attention to detail, and our warm, Irish welcome is world-famous.
As seen on screen
We were delighted to be featured on the BBC's "Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby", and for the Castle to be described as "magical" by Giles Coren.
