Fantastic experience at the AbbeyGlen Castle, Brian welcomed us like family! We loved our dinner and breakfast, the music in the bar and storytelling. The property was stunning and everyone we met was so friendly. We went for a tour of the abbey as well and loved the majestic beauty!

I guess we were too old and not pretty enough to be fascinating like the younger group of Canadians he seemed to fixate on.
Very mixed about this hotel. It’s a beautiful castle on the outside and the grounds are nice. It’s a short walk to the water.

Downside is it’s a bit too dated in its approach and somehow feels like it’s set up to attract big tour groups - maybe we were the wrong crowd. The breakfast is very basic for the price of the hotel, with a strange buffet style in some round tables and then some options on the Menu. A…
