"This hidden Clare gem is housed in a grand 18th-century manor...21 rooms and suites combine antiques with contemporary countrified furnishings (and purposely no TVs); some open to private garden areas" Full review
Michelin Guide "Far from the grim stone fortress conjured by the name, Gregans Castle turns out to be something quite a bit more refined and urbane: not a castle at all, it’s a 250-year-old manor house, lovingly maintained, thoroughly renovated, and reopened as a charming and elegant country house hotel, the sort of place that’s far too high-class to boast about the famous names in the guest book" Full review
