What Nicole Herzog likes about The Connaught Room at Ashford Castle:
I can’t overstate what a wonderful and beautiful experience this was. I’m on my honeymoon and this was one of the main experiences I wanted to do and it did not disappoint. The service was incredible, the tea and food delicious, the view and ambience breathtaking. I can’t imagine a more perfect afternoon. View all feedback. What Ashphy doesn't like about The Connaught Room at Ashford Castle:
It’s a fun experience to eat lunch at Ashford Castle. You feel so fancy! However, the chairs and tables are oddly mismatched and not comfortable to sit in. It felt like the table was a foot away because the chair had my knees hitting the table. And if you sit on the sofa, you’re really oddly set. The food is pretty tasty, although a bit pricey.

Ashford Castle offers a fun and fancy dining experience with delicious food, although slightly pricey. The mismatched chairs and tables may not be the most comfortable, but the ambiance of the castle is truly amazing. The afternoon tea was a fabulous experience with great service and stunning views of the lake. The staff went above and beyond to make special occasions memorable, although they may have missed a few details. Overall, the impeccable service, fantastic castle atmosphere, and amazing food make Ashford Castle a highly recommended spot for a luxurious meal.
