"Perched on land long associated with the O’Brien family and tracing its lineage back to Brian Boru, this historic castle hotel occupies a site with a fortress presence since at least 1014 and a main house dating from the early 1700s. Guests can stay in romantic, turreted two‑story suites with living rooms below and bedrooms above, explore a walled Renaissance garden that remains colorful into fall, unwind at a full spa, and dine beneath chandeliers where inventive, slightly whimsical cuisine is served; the property’s twisting corridors and castle quirks add to the sense of a happy, romantic fantasy." - Peter Terzian Peter Terzian Peter Terzian is the features editor of Travel + Leisure, where he has been on staff since 2017.
