Excellent Inn in Ireland

We were a family of four and this hotel had everything we needed: an on-site pub for dinner, a playground for the 5-year old, comfortable beds, and smart bed arrangement. We also decided to take breakfast.

Great hotel for families

The Inn at Dromoland was a great hotel for my family. We stayed for several nights with our 3 year old daughter. We appreciated that there was any outdoor playground and an indoor playground (though note that the indoor playland does have a cost and it's only open certain hours). Our daughter enjoyed the playgrounds and we saw lots of families there during the Easter holiday, so we felt very comfortable at the hotel. The breakfast was just okay, but the restaurants had good food for dinner and kid friendly options too. Overall this was a perfect choice for my family as we explored Ireland!

The Staff were brilliant I feel the hotel needs updating the rooms were a good size the cleaning could be better it’s such a lovely location just a few changes could make it a more warmer and inviting place to stay. I may return but mainly due to the wonderful staff especially the reception staff. I don’t like to criticise but I truly believe you could have an amazing hotel if certain problems were addressed, Kind regards Pauline 🙏

The hotel is beautiful and the grounds have a castle that they encourage you to explore. The bar was nice, and the bartender was very helpful. Our room was a LONG way from the front desk and you can't access it from the outside. We had a small child, but the kid zone they advertise is only open for a few hours 2 days a week. Likewise, there are limited hours for children to use the pool and a dozen rules to follow in the pool area.

Average at best

The property needs some updating and renovation for sure. I had read this in a number of other reviews so I wasn’t surprised. We went to Shannigan’s twice for dinner my Chicken Caesar Salad was lacking one key element “chicken” it was more like a few crumbs and a complete waste of time. This is also mentioned in other reviews. There were a lot of staff but no one seemed to be actually interested in serving us. I lost track of how long it took to get and pay the bill.

Some areas of this property need to be updated. The carpets look dirty in the hallways and in our room. They need a good steam clean or to be replaced. Overall, the hotel was good for our two nights. The breakfast was nice. The hotel was next to the Dromoland Castle and golf course. It is a beautiful area to walk around! The walled garden is incredible! The in house bar and restaurant seemed lively and had local, live music several days a week. The property’s amenities were nice, but again they seem to be a bit in need of some updating and repair. The Expedia property details should include the fact that swim caps are required for the pool, which they charge you three euros each for unless you bring your own.The design of the shower stall in the rooms was terrible and we could not figure out how to keep water from getting all over the floor, which made it very slippery. Beds were quite hard, which some may like. Parking was awesome! Nice place for people with young children to stay since they have family rooms and outside games in addition to indoor pool.

The Inn At Dromoland is okay. The front looks pretty good and the long drive up to it is nice. It’s when you drive round the back to get in closer via the back door that you see how run down it is. Does that matter? Not too much, but it feels a bit fake. The room was fine, and the restroom appeared to be recently remodeled, but it was a major turn off when lifting the seat finis g that the bottom side of the seat had not been properly cleaned in ages. A short visit to Dromoland Castle was a nice surprise and the grounds there are beautiful. We simply parked and walked around to admire the castle and grounds. Service was not bad at this hotel, but we were told we. Loud park in the back, but found no way to actually enter through the doors that were near our room. 7/10.

We arrived during a wedding. Limited parking. Everyone was smoking at the entrance so you had to walk through a cloud of smoke to enter. Checkin was great but our room smelled. We let it air out for 2 hours, went to dinner and it still stunk so we switched rooms at midnight. Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was so noisy we couldn’t talk at the same table. On another day I may have given a higher review.

Nice modern hotel with pub

This inn was fairly updated with very large grounds. Unfortunately, they were painting the closest entrance to our room, so we had a long walk to our vehicle and no luggage trolley available. We ate in the hotel restaurant, which was a nice pub. I got potato soup and it was very good. It was convenient to have an on-site restaurant. Room was very nice and beds were comfortable. Shower was also nice, however the only issue was that you could not turn off the bathroom fan so it ran constantly. This was very annoying during the night. It would have been nice if staff accommodate for our room being so far as she made it sound like it was around the corner. Otherwise there were no complaints about the room. I'd be willing to stay again with a few provisions.

The layout of hotel is so weird and only 1 elevator in the premises. You have to drag suitcase on the type of carpet that quite difficult to roll our bags. 3 of us checked in and no service offered from bell service to bring up luggage to our room.
