Heritage Collection
Our Heritage Collection is arguably the most interesting – these are the chateaux and castles with stories to tell. From castles that date back to medieval times to those used in battle or have hosted royalty, the collection of Ireland castles in the Heritage Collection are steeped in history – while some have been lovingly modernised, others still have most of their old features.
Manor houses
Although these aren’t castles in the traditional sense, we include manor houses in our castles selection because, well you should see them – they’re just as stately and grand as some of our castles! Often settled in huge private estates, you can live like a Lord or Lady of the Manor in these beautiful holiday homes.
Unique rooms
There are many reasons staying in a castle feels unique – for one, it’s not the usual place people tend to go on holiday. There’s also the feeling like you’ve stepped back in time due to the amount of old-school rooms in the properties – drawing rooms where people can be entertained, wine cellars and fully stocked bars for your drinks evenings, libraries for snuggling down with some classic literature, palace rooms, turrets, grand dining halls. We could go on!
Castles with beach nearby
What could be better than a day spend admiring the view from your very own castle? How about a beach trip!? You heard us right, as if things couldn't get any more perfect, some of our castles in Ireland are close to the beach so you can enjoy a beach holiday and a castle experience all in one.
