Our stay at Lough Eske Castle was unbelievable. The property is stunning, with gorgeous grounds and a spectacular interior. The rooms are huge and beautifully decorated, with all of the amenities you can think of. The restaurant offered a variety of delicious options for dinner, as well as a delicious breakfast buffet menu. I truly felt like a princess during our stay.

This is a beautifully renovated castle or country mansion. Rooms are large but lack furnishings. Our room had what seems to be another room with two sofas and a lot of empty space. A rug and a center table would have been nice. Changing the layout is better. For someone coming from the US, there are few or no electrical outlets that work for us. Needed to buy additional adapters. The money spentbis woth the grouds, staff, service but not the building or rooms themselves.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I absolutely loved my stay here. The services were amazing. I arrived late in the evening and was greeted at my parked car and offered assistance with getting the luggage up to the hotel. The food in both the bar and restaurant was excellent. The room was comfy. I would most definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
