   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.
