Our suitcases were carried to out suite while we were shown Greggan's reception, bar, reading room, (formerly fancied by C.S.

Champagne was brought to the room shortly as I enjoyed a drink and a lovely bath soak before dinner. Dinner and all meals served at Gregans, were prepared with culinary mastery and served with grace and joy from the castle's hosts. I highly recommend staying awhile as you find yourself part of the Gregan's family and become lost in it's beauty and ambiance.

Gorgeous property, stunning views from our room, friendly and welcoming staff (and awesome…read morebartenders in the cozy bar), and the food def lived up to the hype. Wonderful dinner with top notch service. Full Irish breakfast was included with our stay and was a lovely combination of self serve meats, cheeses, yogurts, pastries, fruit, granola, breads and juices plus, made to order items off the menu. Everything made in house or sourced from small local farms and producers. So, here's the shocker ...this is not a castle, it's more of a country house/estate but it is warm, cozy, inviting, and just lovely in ways a castle just couldn't be anyway. Fires in the fireplaces, little nooks and corners with comfy chairs and whimsical artwork all throughout. I would've been happy to just meander around the hotel and property for days but there is so much to see and do in the area as well. An absolute must is a Burren tour, you cannot begin to understand or appreciate the terrain in this area without learning about it firsthand. The hotel staff will happily set that up for you, we had our tour with Shane Connelly and he was as the Irish would say, a real character. He did not disappoint, the authority in the area and we enjoyed every bit of teasing he threw at us along the way, which was plentiful and great fun. If you are fragile or thin skinned don't book this one and save the good time for the rest of us! Also to note, there are two cats that live in the hotel and are given free range in specific public areas. They happily doze in the bar by the fire, oversee you playing cards or doing a puzzle and will occasionally enjoy your lap, if invited. So if you don't like cats please don't book. I travelled with someone that is allergic to cats and wasn't bothered at all but that may not be everyone's experience. I found the rescue donkeys, horse and cats to be a perfect addition to a charming property.

From the small back deck you can look over this town all the way to the high cliffs that drop into the ocean, creating picturesque views of the orange, red and pink sunset. We arrived to a small sign personally welcoming us. Niall and Darra treated us like family while we stayed at their house and even dined at their table. They were personally acquainted with the entire area and gave us honest recommendations for spending our days there. We were able to see the Cliffs without crowds because of their directions. We then had the perfect dinner of local food at Roadford House where we walked along stonewalls past cows, horses, and sheep to the intimate dining room overlooking pastures. We ended the night by enjoying local music at O'Connor's Pub just a minute walk from the Sea View. We would highly recommend staying at the Sea View for at least a few nights on your trip to Ireland. Thanks again Darra and Niall, Ryan and Cristina

We reveled in being absolutely spoiled in this sleeper locale where De Galle once stayed in the late 60s. While the accommodations weren't what one might consider top of the line, they were well-furnished, clean and spacious.

What fun with potatoes, and extensive vegetarian offerings without so much as a blink. Between the gardens, grounds, and an old nearby cemetery where we sat smoking Cuban cigars and overlooking a bluff, we knew we'd found a slice of heaven. The thought of staying there permanently crossed our minds more than once.

The stately castle hotel, part of the Relais and Chateau association, is a welcoming beacon in the Connemara. Adjacent to a trout/salmon stream just a mile from the ocean and featuring extensive woodland walking trails, one can't help but feel at peace. In fact there's an overwhelming feeling of coziness and calm in the spacious suites with a view to the woods and water. Our suite, #36 was so quiet and beautiful it was a treat returning to it after exploring the wild Atlantic way. The two easy chairs with views quickly became our his/hers perches for reflection. Our superior king suite itself was very large with a four poster bed and ample room to spread out and settle in while the generous bathroom with its tub, shower, two sinks and make up desk added to our comfort. With its two restaurants the fisherman's pub (casual) and fine dining Owenmore restaurant one never need seek sustenance elsewhere. The beautiful breakfast that was included provided masterfully cooked to order entrees along with a sumptuous buffet each morning to get you started on your day of exploration. We also enjoyed the beautiful walled garden which is not to be missed and some of the well Maintained walking trails through ancient forest. Exceptional property and lovely (but too short) stay. Highly recommended

And with relatively few rooms to take up the expansive second floor, you will benefit. My room could have fit 6 money-saving people or comfortably a family of 3-4. It opened out onto the shared second floor deck, which had an upper tier with a picnic table for nice weather. Or go try doors and squat in other people's rooms. Kidding... The Irish breakfast was amazing. I had it with everything, and the puddings were out of this world. Bacon was fresh, sausages were like nothing in the States - truly an unforgettable meal after a great night's stay. This one hotel, all by itself, makes me want to come back to Ireland.

Just not a warm first impression. We were exhausted and starving, and that was a dumb rule. The woman at the front desk was not particularly pleasant, and she was also the bartender. Our room was sub par, cigarette burns in the tub. No extra toilet paper in the room when we ran out. And the broken thermostat was blinking the whole stay, begging for a filter change...gross. The china was also dirty at breakfast. The only pluses I will give to this place: the sitting and dining rooms were decorated well and the OTHER staff (NOT the receptionist/bartender) were pleasant. Owner also seemed nice.

I've stayed in a few different rooms at this point, and they have all been elegantly and luxuriously appointed, with every detail already thought out.

This is one of the most chill places I've ever had the privilege of staying. The rooms are small but incredibly comfortable despite the dodgy plumbing. We booked in for three nights on a bed, breakfast and dinner package with 3 other couples on the bank holiday weekend in June. We had a blast. The food is magnificent. The breakfast alone sets the tome for the day and dinner is a delight. Nothing fancy. Just good wholesome food, beautifully presented and with well drilled and attentive staff. Relax at any time during the day in several day rooms with coffee or booze more or less on tap. Live music at night in the bar after dinner leading to a sing song ranging from Irish ballads to ABBA ensure a relaxing, no hassle weekend. During the day, there is so much to see and do in the beautiful Connemara countryside within easy striking distance of the hotel. Must see tourist destinations such as Kylemore Abbey and chic food trucks such as The Misunderstood Heron in nearby Letterfrack have to be experienced. Experience also the grounds in the immediate vicinity for a bracing walk in the afternoon or even a dip in the sea right next to the hotel. For the less adventurous, the hotel,has a heated outdoor swimming pool as well. Given that it was an all-in package it was incredibly good value in my opinion. Highly recommended.
