Ireland Castle Hotels

Nothing evokes a memory of Ireland than a night spent in an Irish castle and there are many castles to choose from and castles to meet most budgets!

Many castles are small and have limited rooms therefore I highly suggest reserving these as soon as possible. Waterford Castle has just 19 rooms and since it's located on a private island, demand far exceeds available rooms.

Dromoland Castle - County Clare

Dromoland, one of Ireland's finest castle hotels, offers guests the experience of living like landed gentry, surrounded by luxury, beauty and service. Dromoland is one of the few Estates tracing its history to native Gaelic Irish families of royal heritage.
