Discover the fairy-tale magic of Ireland at a cosy castle with a gorgeous spa and a 2 AA Rosette-award winning restaurant - includes breakfast and welcome perks
  • Fairytale Ireland stay: In a secluded corner of western Ireland, Kilronan Castle Estate & Spa sits through a set of magnificent medieval gates, bordered by ancient forest, acres of lush green grounds, and a tranquil lough. The castle has been lovingly transformed from the ancestral home of a noble family into a haven of hospitality, seamlessly blending old-world elegance with modern comforts.

  • Pampering moments: For unrivalled relaxation and indulgence, head to the castle spa and leisure centre. Unwind in the thermal suites, flit between the invigorating hot and cold vitality pools, enjoy a multi-sensory experience in the aroma light-therapy steam rooms or soothe sore muscles in the sauna. You can also enjoy a dip in the atmospheric indoor pool, or really treat yourself with a rejuvenating treatment or a blissful massage from the expert team of beauticians, masseuses and therapists.

  • Gastronomic delights: You’re sure to find an unforgettable culinary experience at The Douglas Hyde Restaurant, the castle’s award-winning spot for fine dining. With several notable accolades under its belt, this elegant eatery offers tempting tasting menus that allow you to sample the best Ireland has to offer. For lighter bites and a more casual atmosphere - or maybe even a traditional afternoon tea - the cosy Drawing Room is the place to go.
