Waking up to some rather lovely news… ✨

Gregans Castle Hotel has been named in the Top 10 of the 100 Best Places to Stay in Ireland in today’s Sunday Times Ireland.

Not a bad way to start the day in the Burren! Make sure you pop down & pick up a copy 🗞️📰

We’re genuinely honoured (and just a little bit chuffed) to be counted among such wonderful company.

Now, if you need us, we’ll be celebrating with a strong coffee… and maybe something sparkling later. 🥂

🐝 Why We’ve Welcomed Two Beehives to Gregans Castle 🌿

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to working with nature, not against it. Hosting two beehives on our grounds here in the Burren is a small but meaningful part of that ethos.

Bees are vital to biodiversity. They pollinate the plants, trees, and wildflowers that shape the landscape around us, supporting ecosystems that, in turn, support all of us. By giving them a safe home, we’re helping to protect and nurture that natural balance.

It’s also about connection. Guests often notice the gentle hum, the movement, the life, reminding us all of the intricate systems quietly at work in the background.

Sustainability isn’t just a concept at Gregans, it’s something we live, every day, in small, thoughtful ways.

A big thank you Frank Benson

Easter has arrived at Gregans Castle & there’s a little extra spring in every step across the Burren 🌼

From early morning coffees to long, laughter-filled dinners, from quiet glasses of wine to lively catch-ups at the bar… to everyone who has walked through our doors, lingered a while, or simply popped in for a bite, you are the heartbeat of this place.

Today, the whole team is raising a glass (and possibly a chocolate egg or two) to you 🥂🥙

Thank you for bringing your stories, your celebrations, and your good spirits to our tables.

Wishing you a joyful, delicious, and wonderfully relaxing Easter.

We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon.

Happy Easter from all of us at Gregans Castle 💛

From all of us here at Gregans Castle Hotel in the heart of the Burren, we wish you a wonderful St Patrick’s Holiday weekend ☘️

There’s a special kind of magic in the air at this time of year. The Burren is beginning to awaken for spring, the days are stretching a little longer, and there’s no better place to celebrate Ireland than beside a crackling fire, a beautiful meal, and a glass raised to St. Patrick 🇮🇪 ☘️

We hope you’ll be joining us here at Gregans Castle soon to experience the wild beauty, warm hospitality, and unforgettable flavours of the Burren. Until then, wherever you are celebrating, may your week be filled with good company, great food, and a little Irish cheer 🥃

Sláinte to St. Patrick! ☘️
