What if your hotel was a castle?

Not a castle you simply visit.

A castle where you wake in the morning, take breakfast overlooking ancient grounds and spend the evening surrounded by centuries of Irish history.

Ireland has a remarkable collection of castle hotels and historic estates.

The question isn't whether you can stay somewhere extraordinary.

It's which one will be yours?

Quietly disappearing into the Irish grasslands… 🌿

A beautiful Irish deer, almost completely hidden among the long grass - a little glimpse of wildlife at peace in its natural surroundings. 🦌

Only Red Deer are native to Ireland.

The Fallow Deer in Phoenix Park were brought in by the Normans.

The best Irish memories aren't always scheduled.✨

Malahide which is just outside Dublin, is the kind of place that makes you want to stay a little longer.

The sophisticated atmosphere makes Malahide a must-see addition to an Ireland itinerary.

Take a stroll through the village, explore the stunning grounds of Malahide Castle, enjoy lunch overlooking the water or simply soak up the atmosphere.

There’s something truly unforgettable about watching a magnificent bird of prey take flight across the Irish countryside.

Feel the rush as the falcon soars overhead, learn about the ancient art of falconry and experience the incredible bond between bird and handler.

An experience you’ll be talking about long after your Irish adventure ends.

Would you add falconry to your Ireland bucket list?

Make it a part of your dream Ireland vacation with castle stay!
