Lake views and thrilling adventures

The Castle is fortunate to house a multitude of dining and drink options, each with their own unique characteristics. Our George V Dining Room is a regal centrepiece in which fine dining takes place amidst panelled walls and Waterford Crystal chandeliers. The Dungeon, far more inviting than its name suggests, with its family crest banners hanging from a curved stone ceiling, has a truly medieval feel that makes for a memorable dining experience. Our Drawing Room, with its views of the lawns and Lough Corrib, lends more than a touch of romance to your new beginning. For more adventurous dining, stroll over our bridge and enjoy the delicious cuisine available at Cullen’s at the Cottage. For wine lovers and aficionados looking to toast their union in style, our Castle Wine Cellars, found in the secret passageways of the Castle, offer private wine tastings and wine dinners.

For couples seeking the ideal blend of luxury and privacy, our Hideaway Cottage, located just a short stroll from the Castle on the shores of Lough Lorrib, is a true honeymoon haven. A relic from the Guinness Era, the Cottage has been lovingly restored with reclaimed materials, artworks, furniture, upholstery, and ornaments flush with period detail that makes for an authentic honeymoon experience. Greeting you will be a welcome basket, a fully stocked bar, bicycles, rain jackets and Wellingtons, the last two being yours to keep. Round off the honeymoon with al fresco dining, framed by lake and starlight, on the private pier.

In total, Ashford Castle has 83 rooms and suites, each individually designed with a meticulous eye and, with their variations in colour palettes, all catering to a variety of tastes and preferences. Crown your honeymoon with the ultimate romantic spectacle by staying in one of our lake view rooms. Couples with a curiosity for history will find the Kennedy Suite and Reagan Presidential Suite, named in acknowledgment of their visits to Ashford Castle, to be luxurious representations of the famously enduring Ireland-United States relations.
