Some of the most important work at Ashford Castle begins before sunrise.

While the estate sleeps, doughs are mixed, pastries are laminated, and fresh bread is prepared for guests to enjoy throughout the day.

The beauty of Ashford Castle extends far beyond the estate.

Set on the shores of Lough Corrib, spend your days cruising tranquil waters, casting a line, exploring historic islands or simply taking in the ever changing views.

It's hard to explain the magic of Falconry until you experience it for yourself. 🦅

Watching a Harris hawk soar overhead before returning to your gloved hand is a moment that stays with you long after your visit.

Suitable for ages 7+, Falconry is often remembered as one of the standout moments of a stay at Ashford Castle.

The story of Ashford Castle is inseparable from Lough Corrib. It was from Ard Oileán, one of the lake's many islands, that Arthur Edward Guinness took his title, Lord Ardilaun.

More than a century later, our guests can still discover the same peaceful waters and remarkable landscape that inspired Lord Ardilaun and generations since.

For over a century, the George V Dining Room has played host to memorable occasions.

Today, Executive Head Chef Liam Finnegan continues that tradition with menus inspired by the estate and the surrounding West of Ireland. Estate grown produce sits alongside carefully sourced ingredients from local suppliers, while our in-house butcher Barry Lynch expertly prepares and dry ages prime cuts to develop exceptional flavour and tenderness.

A celebration of Irish ingredients, craftsmanship, and hospitality.
