The Lodge at Ashford Castle Review: Luxury, History and Unforgettable Experiences
The 64-room hotel pairs guided wolfhound walks with estate-grown ingredients, heritage tours and dining that showcase local Irish produce.
Located in County Mayo, The Lodge at Ashford Castle offers a relaxed luxury retreat within the historic Ashford Estate, providing guests elegant accommodation and easy access to diverse estate activities.
Originally built in 1865, the property was owned by the Guinness family for more than 100 years; today the 800-year-old Ashford Castle remains a landmark hosting royalty and celebrities.
Guests can explore woodland trails alongside Irish wolfhounds or take one-hour boat trips across Lough Corrib, where guides share stories of the estate's storied past and Guinness family legacy.
Executive Chef Jonathan Keane showcases exceptional Irish ingredients at Wilde's, while much of the produce is sourced from the estate's kitchen garden, creating a farm-to-table dining experience.
Service defines the guest experience across the 64 rooms, including the Guinness Suite, where thoughtful turndown service and warm Irish hospitality create lasting impressions beyond the stay.
