Every couple of years it is a good idea to wake up in a Castle. There is nothing quite like it. There is the ancient grandeur of course which is nice; the suits of armour and centuries old tapestries on the wall; the high wood ceilings, stone columns and battlements; butlers and maids ready to serve you at the sounding of a bell; and of course there are the spectacular gardens to stroll around, lakes to fish and castle grounds to hunt. But the best reason to stay in a Castle is the sense of wild history you cannot but feel in these places. You will be transported back through the centuries imagining yourself living in times of knights and maidens, honour and fierce courage. It is all there waiting for you at our selection of Irish Castles.
