Our Inspector's Highlights

The castle is a showstopper, with turrets, stone archways and grand halls that transport guests into centuries of Irish history. Evening walks on the estate’s manicured lawns feel like wandering through a storybook.
Golf enthusiasts can tee off on the championship 18-hole course, set amid rolling hills and ancient woodlands.
The Castle Spa offers treatments using luxe skincare from brands like Oskia, Seabody and Dr. Barbara Sturm, in a serene setting overlooking the estate’s lake.
Dining at the Earl of Thomond Restaurant is a traditional affair, featuring seasonal Irish produce, housemade breads and tasting menus that pair regional wines with local flavors.

Special experiences, like private castle tours, falconry demonstrations or whiskey tastings, allow for immersive, insider access that makes every stay feel uniquely tailored.

The Rooms

The castle’s 96 rooms and suites blend historic charm with modern luxury, featuring original stonework, antique furnishings and plush fabrics that evoke Old World Ireland. Many rooms offer views of the manicured gardens, lake or estate grounds.
Crafted from marble and rich timber, bathrooms often have deep soaking tubs and separate rainfall showers. Premium toiletries add an indulgent touch.
Some rooms feature four-poster beds, hand-carved details and period artwork, making it feel like you’ve stepped back in time without sacrificing modern amenities like high-speed Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs.
For the most traditional touches (like arched windows and spiral staircases), request a room on the upper floors. The 18th-century Queen Anne Court building is another enchanting nook ideal for history lovers.
Select suites include private sitting rooms and bay windows that would be a lovely setting for morning tea while overlooking the estate’s sweeping landscapes. One suite even boasts an ornate fireplace.
