In an area rich in historical sites, this Medieval castle combines luxury rental accommodation with the heritage of Ireland's turbulent past. The castle, which was originally built in 1467 by Sean Mac-Con McNamara and contains additions from the 18th and 19th centuries, provides luxury accommodation in a self-contained private apartment.
You will be in good company here, as in recent decades two presidents of Ireland and other heads of state, including Charles de Gaulle and Ronald Reagan, have enjoyed the sumptuous guest accommodation. The beautifully appointed castle apartment, with antique furniture and paintings, overlooks the formal garden. The castle has been extensively and sensitively restored and is available for conferences, incentive groups and corporate entertainment. Mediaeval banquets are held in a separate part the building from April to October. The banquets are great fun but you need to reserve places in advance. The entire castle is available for unique, mediaeval-themed wedding receptions and can cater for up to 150 guests (minimum number is 80 for a wedding). Distances
