Guest reviews· 9.0/10 (970)
Lough Eske Castle consistently receives high praise from guests, who frequently highlight the exceptional quality of the dining experience, particularly dinner at Cedars, and the luxurious comfort of the bedrooms. Many reviewers describe their stay as "thoroughly enjoyable" and "perfect in every way," often commending the attentive staff, excellent food, and overall facilities, which contribute to a "brilliant experience." The availability of an indoor swimming pool and spa/wellness center is also a valued amenity, along with free on-site parking and options for special diet menus.
While the overwhelming sentiment is positive, a recurring comment among guests is the perception of the hotel being expensive. However, this is often balanced by others who consider it "excellent value for a 5-star" experience. The option for breakfast in the room is appreciated, and the hotel is recognized for providing "great spots for a drink and dinner."
