Ashford Castle enjoys ‘exceptional year’ on €100m investment

This has been “an exceptional year” for the five-star Ashford Castle hotel, with earnings and revenues likely to increase significantly from 2015.

That is according to the general manager of the luxury hotel, Niall Rochford, who said that the hotel has enjoyed occupancy rates “of the mid to high 90s” between mid-May and the end of September this year.

Mr Rochford was commenting on new accounts filed by Ashford Castle Hotel Ltd which show that earnings at the hotel last year totalled almost €270,000. Revenues rose by 30% from €9m to €11.76m.
