Castle Dargan Hotel

Visited the hotel to attend a wedding near by. We were allowed to complete an early check in while I only requested it a day before through phone.

This hotel was very lovely.

A last minute rush of blood to the head brought us to Castle Dargan. We were allocated a beautiful room. Well, three rooms really in the amazingly refurbished old house. We ate in the restaurant with about 30 golfers who added to the atmosphere. Food was excellent if not a bit pricey, however the staff were lovely. Well done to whom ever was responsible for training. Definitely would love to go back.

Stunning location, we stayed for two nights and we thought food was excellent for breakfast and bar had a good selection of drinks. We had a slight issue with housekeeping as our room was left with door wide open after it was cleaned which wasn’t great security. I found the rooms a bit tired and old fashioned and especially the bathroom, grout and bath seal look grubby and the fan didn’t work. Toiletries could have been better for a 4 star hotel too. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. The grounds are beautiful and definitely made the visit.

Fabulous location, really beautiful place. The hotel was charming and our room very comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We've stayed before and we're already looking forward to our next visit.

Surprised by some of the reviews on here as I had a really pleasant experience. I had booked one of the executive junior rooms which was about €20-30 more expensive than a standard double and this seems to be the difference. My room was away from the main lobby in a separate small building, it was spotless and well maintained and little to no disturbances apart from kids in the play park during the early evening. The spa experience was well worth it. I had pre booked with Natalie and she was fantastic: considering I have a hard time relaxing, she had to wake me up at the end of the treatment which says everything. Really worth the splurge for a treat and highly recommend. The breakfast was great with pancakes but the “eggs your way” were clearly bulk made, oven heated in a tin container. It’s a nit pick but eggs should be made fresh to order in a hotel this small. The staff in general were friendly and courteous, particularly the housekeeping staff who gave me a great restaurant recommendation. The golf shop is well stocked and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly. I didn’t have a great sleep as the mattress was very hard but that’s a personal preference. For the location and amenities it’s a really good spot and certainly one I would visit again. One small request is that they reallyyyyy need to install a good quality coffee machine somewhere in the lobby or better still a pod machine in the rooms. I spoke with other guests who agreed that it was difficult to source a cuppa that you could take in the car as you set off sightseeing and it’s one thing that would really be a great addition, and such a small feature that would really benefit guests considering most coffee shops are a minimum 10-15 minute drive away! There are kettles in the room but without takeaway cups they’re not much use if you want to take a cuppa with you.
