Co. Clare's Dromoland Castle has been awarded the title of "#1 Hotel for Families in Europe" by Family Vacation Critic.
Family Vacation Critic is an online travel resource for families that offers reviews of family hotels, resorts and destinations. Each hotel profile on the site highlights amenities of particular interest to families, from baby equipment to complimentary wi-fi, and lists can be filtered by age to find the best hotel for every age group.
In order to be designated a Family Vacation critic favourite venue, a hotel must be personally vetted by a member of Family Vacation Critic's team and receive either a four- or five-star editorial rating. Hotels must also have been recommended by 75% or more of families who have given the property a four- or five-star review.
The announcement that Dromoland Castle has been named as Family Vacation Critic's favourite European family venue, having successfully met all of the above criteria, arrives in the wake of the news that the five-star hotel will undergo a €20 million renovation programme to preserve both the building and its 330 acres of surrounding land.
