At Ashford Castle, each guest room is individually designed to provide stylish personal comforts, from the marble fittings of bathrooms to soft coordinated fabrics and furnishings. Ashford Castle 's spacious suites allow an abundance of time to relax in a grand manner and experience the tranquility which nature provides. Following a tradition passed down through the centuries, enjoy a leisurely brunch or candlelight dinner in the comfort of your own accommodation With Ashford Castle's sweeping aspect across Lough Corrib stretched out before you from its shoreline vantage point, it's easy to realise why it's said that time stands still in Ireland. 700 years commanding the water's edge and with the Castle's 350 acres of private woodland it all begins afresh as a new discovery each day.

During the summer season there is a choice of 2 Restaurants at Ashford Castle: The George V Dining Room, offering classical Irish Cuisine; or our specialty restaurant The Connaught Room, which offers classical French Cuisine. The George V Dining Room, with room for 150 guests and breathtaking views across the river, luxurious furnishings and most discreet service, is the perfect setting in which to celebrate the traditional art of elegant dining. The Connaught Room, with a capacity of 48, is Ashford's award-winning gourmet restaurant, rich in wood carvings and delicate furnishings. The room is considered one of the finest in the Castle. A unique and priceless feature is the hand crafted Inglenook reaching twenty feet to the oak ceiling.
