We stayed there for one night. We will definitely go back for more. Fishing, golf, horseback riding, and even falconry! The nearby village is also a must see. Service was five star!
Yes they are. The staff here did their best to make us welcome. Lots to do here, recommend at least two nights. If you want to moderate the expense, they also have a lodge on the same property.
I used live there. The problem was by the time we got to the dining room from the lounge, dinner was always cold. Also many visitors at the door used to leave before the butler could get to the door.
Well produced video, and lovely castle. But entirely too much time devoted to shots of people doing activities. I would have liked to see *just the castle and grounds.
I know that area and I know where it is ok. It was owned by the Guinness family for some of its history, they're the brewing people who created a certain black coloured beverage. They extended the castle.
@@tg1093 Hi Booth. I've never really studied the castle itself but here's a quotation from Wikipedia. -> The estate was purchased in 1852 by Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness from the Encumbered Estates' Court. He added two large Victorian style extensions. He also extended the estate to 26,000 acres (110 km2), built new roads and planted thousands of trees. The castle was drawn for Sir William Wilde's book about County Galway. On Sir Benjamin's death in 1868, the estate passed to his son Lord Ardilaun, who expanded the building further in the neogothic style. Lord Ardilaun was an avid gardener who oversaw the development of massive woodlands and rebuilt the entire west wing of the castle, designed by architects James Franklin Fuller and George Ashlin. The new construction connected the early 18th-century part in the east with two de-Burgo-time towers in the west. Battlements were added to the whole castle. ............ You can get more information on the castle on the net ..... here's the Wiki entry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashford_Castle
Please pray that l live IN the best heaven immediately AND automatically and permanently. THANK YOU ALL for ALL your loving prayers. Please spread the holy word THANK YOU.
The golf clearing completely kills it for me. Ruins the natural landscape and the feeling of being in a castle. If we're going to be in a castle for vacation, we want to experience medieval life and be immersed in the fantasy.
Guests at the high end of the market want golf. They also get all the other things you mention. It doesn't have to be a choice between golf and the rest. In luxury castle hotels you just get it all. And besides, the grounds of Ashford Castle are so vast that the golf course doesn't dominate it. It's possible to stay there and never see the course.
A claim as extreme as that in the title, and 3 and a half minutes to prove it. I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching. You made the decision easy. Maybe calm down with your advertising?
Why do they always have to have some stupid,annoying music that makes it hard to understand what is being said? I decided to give up and go on to something else.
You guys, he is baiting you & your in his trap the more you talk about......As for the castle it is beautiful, l believe reign was filmed there & its in a equally beautiful country with many people from all walks of life & nationalitys.
Hardly. It regularly appears in the lists of World's Top Hotels and World's Most Luxurious Hotels, receiving the #1 spot on a number of occasions. Your opinion of it as "naff" reflects back on yourself.
@@helenaville5939 I wonder why you are so concerned about the opinions of a complete stranger. Do you have a financial interest in this palace of vulgar ostentation? I am sure it is popular with premier league footballers, lottery winners and others of the nouveau riche, those in general who think nothing succeeds like excess. Less, my dear, is more. But you wouldn't understand. Please gold plate your bath taps all you wish, but some of us know what taste and style are.

And the staff make it - was recently there totally magical
I think Adair Manor in Limerick,is also worth checking out.classy but Pricey!!
Ashford Castle was one of the most incredibly beautiful memories of our Ireland trip.
We stayed there for one night. We will definitely go back for more. Fishing, golf, horseback riding, and even falconry! The nearby village is also a must see. Service was five star!
Castles are magical... This one looks amazing.
+Kimmy Queen It truly was! You have to make it out for a visit one day, seeing how you are a queen!
Richard Bangs Hopefully I will! thanks for sharing this! :-D

LOVE castles! Wish they could ALL be saved!
Enchanting, Mesmerizing.... From other world.
Words fail.
When I win the 649 here in Canada this is the first place I’m going. This place is stunning.
Just feel like a nice piece of Atlantic salmon with vegetables after watching you fishing. The castle is absolutely top-notch. Thanks for sharing.
sorry never got a chance to visit....looks magical indeed...one day!
Wow this is so amazing you have a New subscriber 👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏
Magical beautiful small piece of heaven...
Fabulous! I would love to spend our anniversary in this unique castle.
Thank you for sharing Mr. Bangs.
You're welcome! Did you end up spending your anniversary here, Moe?
Unfortunately, I couldn't afford it, I am saving money for the next one. Thank you for asking Mr. Bangs! this is kind of you.
Good things come to those who wait. Happy travels, Moe!
Thank you, Richard!
Cheers!
I love how the best view of the lake was filmed at the Lodge 💞🗻

Absolutely the best in the world its amazing
I used live there. The problem was by the time we got to the dining room from the lounge, dinner was always cold. Also many visitors at the door used to leave before the butler could get to the door.
Yeah and I just bought it
A Castle that takes you to the 18th century. Archery, and fishing. Definitely looking more into Ashford.
What’s happening with it currently. Are they operating or shut down?
Breathtakingly beautiful, with a majestic calibre all of its own.
So perfect and beautiful
isn't thia the castle they used for french court in Reign?
Well produced video, and lovely castle. But entirely too much time devoted to shots of people doing activities.
I would have liked to see *just the castle and grounds.
espectacular!
I'll buy it.

For such a beautiful castle you can't even here anything about it 'PLEASE ,PLEASE TURN THE MUSIC DOWN' .
Thank you
I have stayed there and it was nice but not the most luxurious castle in the world
How much for the castle? I would like to have it moved to Uganda. Thank you, Idi Amin
REIGN CASTLE !!!!
REIGN!!!!♥️♥️
nice
Why are the people speaking at barely above a whisper, while the music roars?

Where is the Wizard's Tower???
only one way to find out!

Clickbait / promotion

WORLDAASS NEWS.WHAT IS THE PRICETAG.
Try the Romanov's "homes" in Russia, such as the Winter Palace....puts British and other castles to shame.
Destroyed and rebuilt. No better than a fake Hollywood castle. Full of tat.
Oversized palaces are so naff. No thanks.
3 min of nothing,
Edit,
Didn't know it's a hotel ad
'Give us the luxuries of life and we will dispense of it's necessities' ?? Bit of a redundant statement.
Not really. It's a very famous quote by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Lol what are you doing inside my house
Just here for a visit! lol
Undoubtedly this is a very beautiful castle, but surely not the best in the world.
It regularly appears in the lists of World's Best Hotels, and has won the top award on several occasions.
Next time Ginger Aarons !
+TheClassicalSymphony Ashford was VOTED the best in the world

Amazing :)
its an advertisement !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Videography work sucks. Amateur. Nice castle though. Maybe it was this company's first video
Most luxurious castle in the world!? What tripe. Versailles and Fontainebleau must bow to....Ashford Castle. LOL.
Versailles is most luxurious palace. this is a luxurious castle. both are nice
Stroke away willy
French alert...
I detect an anti Irish prick in here @Willy Stoker !
@@archangelirishfreedomfight919 Built by English King's.

Versailles doesn't have guests so it can't be measured in luxury. It's basically a museum.

This one is dumb.
