We chose Ross Castle as the venue for my father's 75th Birthday family celebration. We were a group of 13 adults and 6 children and couldn't be happier with our choice.
It was the perfect venue for a party of our size. Ample sleeping facilities, intriguing décor and historical oddities, the perfect banqueting set up with great-table (apparently a gift from the King of Spain!) and blazing fireplace. The castle was obviously lovingly restored and extended and it shows. The kids in particular just loved it!
Jackie and her team were just wonderful hosts. We were welcomed warmly and given some great local tips for walking to the lake nearby and picking up some last minute provisions. When they returned later to prepare and serve dinner we were made to feel like friends. Great interactions, particularly between Vanessa and the children (she's an asset!). Even breakfast the next day was an relaxed pleasant affair, nicely laid out buffet style with lots of rich coffee!
Jackie was very flexible in arrangements and just made the whole experience easy from start to end. Highest recommendations from The Ryans. We'll probably stay again!
