Ashford Castle

Galway and the West Coast

Ashford Castle is a royal journey that begins as soon as you pass through the imposing stone gates. This historic haven, guarding the shores of Lough Corrib for over eight centuries, promises an unforgettable retreat for those visiting Ireland’s enchanting west coast. Once the esteemed residence of the Guinness family, today it stands as a multi-generational resort, meticulously tended by a team devoted to each guest’s delight.
Indulge in opulence within 83 uniquely adorned rooms and suites, including the enchanting historic boathouse, poised delicately over the tranquil lake. Culinary wonders also await, as chefs craft inventive Irish fare sourced from the hotel’s bountiful surroundings, ensuring an exceptional dining experience in venues ranging from the grandeur of the George V Dining Room to the intimate ambience of Cullen’s at the Cottage.
Elevating relaxation to an art form, Ashford Castle’s award-winning spa, adorned with exquisite seashell chandeliers and a stunning ‘Tree of Life’ mural, invites guests on a journey of rejuvenation. Unwind amidst five lavish treatment rooms, a rejuvenating Hammam, and a serene terrace, while skilled therapists tailor bespoke experiences blending ancient wisdom with contemporary techniques.
Beyond the castle’s walls, guests can embark on adventures limited only by imagination – from falconry with Harris Hawks to horseback rides through lush woodlands, and the art of archery. At Ashford Castle, every moment is a celebration of luxury, heritage, and boundless possibility.
