Devera, United StatesI have stayed at Christmas at Dromoland for many years as always it was lovely. A great staff and wonderful atmosphere. They all make you feel at home. I am sorry to see Mark Nolan go, I wish him all the best. I know the new GM will carry on the great traditions of this special place.

Private GuestOur family of four (boy age 11, girl age 8) enjoyed every minute at the castle. The employees made every possible effort to ensure our comfort. The service and hospitality we received was second to none.
