"The scenic, walled gardens at this 16th-century castle-turned-hotel are tucked away past a long arched tunnel on the southern end of the grounds. The garden features a lush lily pond, sundial, and views galore of the tranquil Lough Dromoland. It is based on designs by André Le Nôtre, the mastermind behind the famous gardens at Versailles. Guests at Dromoland receive a map of the gardens upon check-in, and should not miss the dramatic yew tree gallery, which dates back to 1740." - Travel + Leisure Editors
