Our Irish vacation castles:
ASHFORD CASTLE Lord Ardilaun incorporated into its castellated facade, the remains of the 13th-Century de Burgo Castle and the original Ashford House, built in the style of a French chateau. The decor is lavish and opulent, the view across the lake is stunning. You can enjoy Irish entertainment in the Dungeon Bar, take a stroll through the lakeside gardens, or saunter into the adjacent village of Cong, setting for the "Quiet Man". The setting on the shores of beautiful Lough Corrib with its hundreds of islands, bays, and coves is stunning. A nine-hole golf course and tennis courts, health club with sauna, gym, and Jacuzzi, salmon and trout fishing, tennis, and cruising on the "Corrib Queen" are available.
Elegance in Ireland
DROMOLAND CASTLE Dromoland Castle is a spectacular place to spend your last night's stay. Dromoland was the ancestral home of the Lords Inchiquin, direct descendants of Brian Boru, high king of Ireland. It is one of the finest examples of a baronial residence. Up the grand staircase are found the hotel's premier rooms and luxurious suites and a portrait gallery of past incumbents of the estate. Jacket and tie for gentlemen are required after 7 PM in the elegant, formal dining room and the book lined bar where guests often settle after dinner to join in the singing of popular Irish ballads. Fishing, horse riding, and bird shooting can be arranged nearby. The golf course meanders around the castle and is a challenging par 71 measuring over 6500 yards. The Egon Ronay Guide named the dining room as the best restaurant in Ireland.

The driveway was a rough track carved out a thousand years ago by medieval monks. This is a cloud-grey stonework fantasy place, with granite arches and stout, studded oak doors.
