Castle Grove Country House Hotel — Hotel in County Donegal

Beginning of April 2024

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay @ the Castle Grove Country House!

Accommodations:

Booked~2 rooms: each with shower & separate tub in bathroom w/ luxury toiletries

1standard twin room- w/ 2 twin beds,

1 Superior double room- w/ 1 large double bed

Our rooms~both spacious, big windows w/ lots of light, gorgeous/long curtains, beautiful vintage wardrobe & vanity, all w/ a victorian vibe. Lush & quaint gardens w/ daffodils & tulips in full bloom out our windows. Lovely stroll around the property in the evening! Little gem tucked sweetly off the main road.

Each bathroom~terrific water-pressured shower & separate soaking tub which was deep & relaxing & a special treat after a long day of sightseeing.

Dining~we dined in their luxurious large & open dark green painted restaurant for our included B&B breakfast w/ a quaint & delicious menu to choose from.

Service~Phenomenal! We reached out to the hotel a few hours prior to check-in to inquire if there was self laundry facilities for guests as I fell in a muddy bog. Irene was more than compassionate & took it upon herself to launder our dirty clothing despite housekeeping to have gone home for the day!

As we were traveling with our children, she also had unexpected Easter treats for each of our children upon arrival! Huge bonus points!

Soon after getting settled, my daughter and I enjoyed a charming tea service in the drawing room w/ the tastiest shortbread biscuits I have ever eaten, warmed by a lovely wood burning fire.

Thank you to Irene, Karoline, Jaclyn, & Mr. Raymond who helped make our stay feel warm, inviting, & terrific!

Overall, Castle Grove Country House was a wonderful stop for us and we highly recommend it! A true...

Decided to go here as had seen it in 'the blue book ', which gives information etc regarding hotels and places to either visit or stay. It is well out of the way, and very private, it is sign posted, and once discovered, easy to find again. It is a rather large manor house, and really impressive with first impressions. Plenty of parking outside, with a 2 minute walk to the reception. The staff are extremely friendly, and really helpful, as the rooms are named after famous poets. We had the W.B. Yeats room, quite elegant, tall ceiling, carpet flooring, ensuite large, with bath and shower. Only downside is the mattress was a bit too flat. The restaurant was well laid out, and once again the staff exceptional, as you wait in a sitting room, and a member of staff would come in and ask if you would like a drink or beverage. Then when served, they would take your dinner order, and when ready, would open the door to the dining room and escort you to your table. Dress is casual, or formal, whatever you are comfortable with. The food is top notch, first class, as we both opted for the chicken, which was outstanding. Along with roast potatoes and vegetables. The grounds are also worth a walking around, as well as the walled garden, of where the vegetables are grown for the menu. All in all, a beautiful place, relaxing experience, and somewhere to go to...
