Dromoland Castle
Newmarket-on-Fergus, Co. Clare
A 16th-century castle hotel set in 450 acres of parkland, with its own golf course, lake and walled gardens.
Dromoland was the ancestral home of the O'Brien family, descendants of the High King Brian Boru, and it remains one of Ireland's great castle hotels. Guests can try falconry, archery, fishing and clay shooting on the 450-acre estate, or simply walk the lakes and walled gardens. Dinner in the Earl of Thomond restaurant is an occasion in itself. Shannon Airport is just 15 minutes away, making it a memorable first or last night.
