High quality for reasonable price

The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. I felt breakfast was overpriced, but honestly a full Irish breakfast at a restaurant would probably cost about the same. Everything was delicious (some of the best scrambled eggs, sausage, and baked beans I've ever tasted!) and the seating process was fast and organized. My room was a little warm but there was a fan available to help cool it down a little. The view from my room was someone's backyard, which felt a little awkward, but I could always just close the curtains. Speaking of the curtains, they completely blocked out all light, which was extremely helpful when I was trying to sleep off my jetlag! Overall a great start for my first visit to Ireland!

The Staff were brilliant I feel the hotel needs updating the rooms were a good size the cleaning could be better it’s such a lovely location just a few changes could make it a more warmer and inviting place to stay. I may return but mainly due to the wonderful staff especially the reception staff. I don’t like to criticise but I truly believe you could have an amazing hotel if certain problems were addressed, Kind regards Pauline 🙏

We were a family of four and this hotel had everything we needed: an on-site pub for dinner, a playground for the 5-year old, comfortable beds, and smart bed arrangement. We also decided to take breakfast.

The hotel is beautiful and the grounds have a castle that they encourage you to explore. The bar was nice, and the bartender was very helpful. Our room was a LONG way from the front desk and you can't access it from the outside. We had a small child, but the kid zone they advertise is only open for a few hours 2 days a week. Likewise, there are limited hours for children to use the pool and a dozen rules to follow in the pool area.

The Inn At Dromoland is okay. The front looks pretty good and the long drive up to it is nice. It’s when you drive round the back to get in closer via the back door that you see how run down it is. Does that matter? Not too much, but it feels a bit fake. The room was fine, and the restroom appeared to be recently remodeled, but it was a major turn off when lifting the seat finis g that the bottom side of the seat had not been properly cleaned in ages. A short visit to Dromoland Castle was a nice surprise and the grounds there are beautiful. We simply parked and walked around to admire the castle and grounds. Service was not bad at this hotel, but we were told we. Loud park in the back, but found no way to actually enter through the doors that were near our room. 7/10.

Great hotel for families

The Inn at Dromoland was a great hotel for my family. We stayed for several nights with our 3 year old daughter. We appreciated that there was any outdoor playground and an indoor playground (though note that the indoor playland does have a cost and it's only open certain hours). Our daughter enjoyed the playgrounds and we saw lots of families there during the Easter holiday, so we felt very comfortable at the hotel. The breakfast was just okay, but the restaurants had good food for dinner and kid friendly options too. Overall this was a perfect choice for my family as we explored Ireland!
