Dromoland Castle is one of Ireland’s finest castle hotels. It is one of the few castle hotels that can trace its ownership back through history to Gaelic Irish families of royal heritage. The Castle offers its guests deluxe accommodations and the experience of living like landed gentry, surrounded by breathtaking scenery, absolute luxury and exceptional service. Experience falconry, fishing, clay shooting, lavish spa treatments, golf… the list goes on and on.
The castle is just 8 miles from Shannon Airport, making it an ideal base from which to explore the exceptional beauty of the Shannon region. The castle is also close to the rugged magnificence of the Burren and the vibrant cities of Limerick and Galway.
Through your bedroom window, the grounds of the Estate are spread magnificently before your eyes. Each guest room enjoys its own individual personality, blending period decoration with today’s modern amenities. Dromoland bedrooms give an uncommon degree of comfort to guests, it is refreshing to relax and reflect on the enjoyments of the day in the comfort of your room and perhaps call Room Service to deliver canapés and champagne before dinner.
Dining at Dromoland is always an occasion. It is also a culinary delight; the quality of the food and service is renowned the world over. There is something special for all tastes, a six-course dinner celebration, an afternoon tea in the Drawing Room or a light snack in the Country Club, all can be enjoyed in wonderfully grand but relaxed settings. The Earl of Thomond Restaurant offers a relaxed but elegant dining experience.The Fig Tree Restaurant offers a wonderful variety of dining, from 12 noon to 10pm. The menu and presentation have been created for more informal dining, in contrast to the award-winning Earl of Thomond Restaurant.
In accordance with our reputation for fine cuisine, Dromoland’s wine list has been meticulously selected to uphold this standard of excellence. Formerly the Castle library, the Cocktail Bar at the top of the main Gallery now provides the cosy setting for pleasures of a less literary nature. Candlelit by evening, Irish ballads provide the background for after-dinner drinks to complete your evening.
Dromoland offers guests a wide range of leisure pursuits, most of which can be organised in advance right here at the hotel. On the estate, guests can enjoy superb golf, tennis, fishing, shooting and boating while our beautiful gardens and secluded woodlands offer any number of opportunities for jogging, cycling or for a leisurely stroll. Should your tastes extend to more adventurous pastimes like horse riding or deep-sea fishing, we’ll be happy to advise and organise on your behalf. For those in search of more luxurious pastimes, our health and beauty clinic includes a hair salon and a comprehensive range of rejuvenating body and facial treatments including massage, aromatherapy and reflexology.
