Excellent stay at Lough Eske Castle. The food in the bar and service were the best. I highly recommend the chowder, huge chunks of seafood. We took the walk around the lake. Beautiful. Smells were amazing. The only thing I wished is that I could get the room cooler, it just didn’t get cool enough to sleep. A very first work problem but that would be the only drawback.

A true fairytale setting in a wonderful castle with fabulous grounds. No need to stay anywhere else.
Incredible staff also helped make this stay one to remember for years to come.

The staff was so friendly and professional. The accommodations were absolutely stunning and the grounds were very well kept. I had a massage at the spa which was very relaxing and well worth what I spent. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

The property was gorgeous, the thermal suites and food were excellent, but the staff made it the amazing stay it was. It doesn't hurt that we got engaged during our stay!

Loved our stay at the Lough Eske Castle. We rode bikes around the property, took a swim in the am before the fabulous breakfast. Amazing area would stay again.

Lovely stay in our upgraded Tower Suite. The grounds and gardens are beautiful. The Father Browne photography exhibit in the basement in the pub is well worth checking out. The staff were very friendly.

The hotel was stunning. The bell hop was fantastic nicest man you ever hoped to meet truly kind, funny and helpful. The grounds were beautiful. Our room was unbearably hot, no fan to be had. we couldn't get room service no matter how many times we called. The fine dining was abysmal, the menu limited and the chicken overcooked and dry. The bar food was better. Would never pay close to $600 again for a hot room and inability to get ice delivered.

Beautiful property but for 5 stars, little things were not up to standard. Our towel warmer barely heated and we had brown water giving out if the shower and sinks one of the two days we stayed. Even the maintenance person said to bring it up to the front desk, and when we did they only offered to refund 10% of one night. Like that's anything to compensate for been water at a 5 star hotel......
