Gregans Castle

Fellow travelers, I did not stay in the hotel as it was booked when i was looking for accomodation. My review is about dinner on a very stormy Friday night in Clare. I highly recommend the hotel from what i experienced and would love to return, the atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming, I loved the setting in the bar and drawing room - although I did not get to enjoy the view from the restaurant given the storm, I did get to savor the creations from the chef upon the suggestions of Gabriel, my maitre d hotel for the evening. The chef and kitchen staff's efforts were evident in the dishes I sampled, starting with the appetizers, with explosion of flavors in all the vegetables and the dessert. I want to shout out to Matteo the bar tender, he was a delight to chat with and Remi for waiting on me with attention - Sometimes travelling solo can make one uncomfortable or stand out, thanks to the team at Gregans Castle, not so - I finished the evening by the fireplace with my cup of tea and a delicious palette of petits fours before facing flooded roads. The hotel is aptly located to access a lot of the beauty of West Clare and the Burren.
