"There are castles, and then there are castles; this 19th-century sandstone edifice, set mere minutes from the town of Donegal, on the shores of Lough Eske, is nothing short of spectacular. Nor have its present-day proprietors neglected anything when it comes to the nuts and bolts of modern luxury hospitality. The style happily combines historical elements and contemporary gestures; the rooms and suites are spacious and luxurious, while the public spaces, including an impressive spa built on the footprint of the castle’s Victorian-era conservatory, are a particular highlight. 43 acres of woodland surround the castle, and beyond lie the Donegal countryside and the Blue Stack Mountains." - Tablet Hotels
