I don't think it is possible to rate Ashford Castle as anything less than a full 5-star experience. In fact, if I could give it six stars I would. The level of customer service is so far above and beyond the call of duty it almost takes your breath away. Yes, it is expensive. But it is truly worth every penny. From the moment I pulled through the gates I knew this was a special place. It reeks of luxury...in a good way! Be sure to take advantage of the amenities. If you can only do one thing, do...

The location of the inn is central for short trips in the areas around Newfield. The rooms were spacious enough that 4 of us didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Despite the age of the inn, you can tell the family invests money to keep the amenities current. The biggest standout for Nevins Inn is the food and staff. We had appetizers, main dinners, and desserts. All were spectacular and worthy of a high end restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Special thanks to...

We had a fantastic time. The Wolfhound walk was so nice and he was hysterical. We also had dinner at George V, which was an amazing experience. However, the thing that I will never forget was the school of Falconry. We did the 90 minute Hawk Walk and it was one of the most amazing experiences in my life!
