Dromoland Castle

This is a real castle, complete with towers and crenellations, set in 375 acres with its own golf course. The stylishly-decorated bedrooms are all spacious and offer plenty of thoughtful extras. Public rooms are in keeping with the atmosphere, with family portraits, marble fireplaces and ornate, Gothic-style cornices detailed in gold. The award-winning Earl of Thomond restaurant offers a relaxed yet elegant dining experience, while the Fig Tree restaurant is a more informal option, providing a variety of dining throughout the day and night.
