all the hydrangeas blooming and finding out that the lady of the house grew and showed bouquets that were fresh.. the people that own the property have a special gift for running it. they had a special pub with stories and singing and of course a bit of craic. not sure that’s spelled correctly but I enjoyed myself and would definitely go back.

The entire experience was beautiful! The castle itself, the dinner, the champagne happy hour.
9.0 / 10.0
The location and castle was great. It was walking distance to town and a small park (traveling with a toddler who loved it). Breakfast was also excellent, as was the wait staff. The proprietor was very present and informative. Rooms were spacious, & we would have liked to catch the historic chat, but missed it while out for dinner.
Overall everything was great, just not exceptional. Room was clean, but not spotless, a few small hairs in the bathroom and a loose pill. Front desk staff at check in were perfectly pleasant, but short with their responses & not elaborating when asking for recommendations.

Warm welcome. Fun and surprisingly informative talk by owner in the bar before dinner including generous supply of complimentary prosecco. Evening dinner was excellent
Very dated room, definately in need of some investment. Evening meal was expensive.

This was our second visit to the Abbeyglen, this time we returned with friends. the dinner, breakfast and the craic was excellent. The management and staff will not be found anywhere else, their friendliness is second to known. Don’t miss the owners history talk in the bar each evening around 6.30. We will be back.

Staff were great from reception to Bar and restaurant. They even went out to the shop in the morning to get special coffee for us. Ronan was very engaging at the bar telling us stories about the area at the free champagne reception in the bar before dinner. He went around asking people where they were from and taking photos. At dinner he arrived with flags from the countries people were from and a photo momento to take home which I thought was a lovely touch. I was with my pregnant friend from Romania and we really enjoyed our stay. Have already recommeneded the hotel to colleagues.
Nothing really. Would have loved to have a swimming pool perhaps and a more extensive cocktal list :-)

We had an exceptionally lovely stay in the Abbeyglen. Champagne reception at 6:30 followed by a local talk is a lovely way to welcome guests. The dining room was buzzing with a mix of Irish, European and American tourists most of whom retired to the bar afterwards for a sing song, led by Brian on the piano! The staff make the hotel a special place mixing local hospitality with a very high class service. Would highly recommend.

Great location and setting

You won't find a better welcome or more hospitable hosts anywhere. The food is excellent and the entertainment in the form of chat and live music in the bar is unbelievable. The Hughes family and all of the staff could not do more for you. A real gem.

Very welcoming property and staff in particular Ronan and Brian who made everyone feel welcome and even hosted a champagne reception with some history about the area and Abbeyglen. They also gave us a photo they took of us as a gift.

The bed was super comfortable and our room was beautiful. I loved hearing the sound of the creek outside of our window. The breakfast was exceptional, especially the fresh-squeezed orange juice.
