Ruth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay at Lough Eske Castle. The food in the bar and service were the best. I highly recommend the chowder, huge chunks of seafood. We took the walk around the lake. Beautiful. Smells were amazing. The only thing I wished is that I could get the room cooler, it just didn’t get cool enough to sleep. A very first work problem but that would be the only drawback.

Beautiful castle with large rooms & great service

Lovely castle. Beautiful, large rooms and a great bathroom too. Great food, and very accommodating with food intolerances. Excellent service all around. Perhaps a little overpriced compared to some other great stays in Ireland. But I would recommend.
