Set on the banks of Lough Corrib, amidst acres of beautiful gardens and forests, the five-star Ashford Castle is the ultimate castle experience. The splendor of Ashford is everywhere - in its history, its accommodations, and its service.

Built in 1228 and once the estate of the Guinness family, the luxurious castle first opened as a hotel in 1939 and was voted best resort in Ireland by Conde Nast magazine in 2008. From the moment you enter the lavishly decorated great hall to the elegant guest rooms with their high ceilings and sweeping views of the estate, you know the experience cannot be equaled.
