   Fabulous Afternoon Tea at Ashford Castle 😊 From the moment we arrived on the grounds of the Castle we were looked after…The Castle was beautifully decorated for the festive season. Our booking was in The Connaught Room & the room is exquisite…the food was amazing & there was a big selection of teas. Loughlan looked after us very well. Would definitely recommend Ashford Castle for Afternoon Tea.

   Thomas our waiter was absolutely lovely (a local lad from Cong) 1st class service very attentive, fantastic personality & a wonderful asset to Ashford Castle. Our table was by the window looking out on beautiful Lough Corrib & the chair was so comfortable (I have spinal problems) I could have happily sat there all day reading a book & having more pots of tea. The tea was so nice myself & my daughter had two pots. Sandwiches, scones & cakes were lovely & Thomas very kindly boxed up the ones we couldn't eat (as we were so full) & we were able to take them home for our tea which was lovely & the box they came in was so pretty. The classical music playing in the background (just at the right decibels) added to the ambience. Thank you for a lovely afternoon Thomas. On a negative note the 15% service charge on top of the €75 per person for the adternoon tea was exorbitant.
