Lisloughrey Lodge

Breakfast is often the least enjoyable part of a hotel stay and, all too often, can obliterate the memory of an enjoyable meal the evening before – not so at a growing number of caring and ‘breakfast aware’ hotels, however, including this beautifully located hotel in the grounds of Ashford Castle.

It has wonderful views over Lough Corrib and Lisloughrey Quay from the first floor restaurant, where head Chef Wade Murphy not only knocks guests for six with his stunning dinners – but, unusually, makes a point of being there in the morning too.

This talented and dedicated chef believes as strongly as we do that serving a really good breakfast is vitally important, so the food that guests enjoy here each morning is just as impressive as everything else served in this excellent restaurant.

True excellence.
