Set on the shores of Lough Dromoland amidst 360 acres of beautiful wooded parkland, Dromoland Castle dates back to the 16th Century. Once the ancestral home of the O'Briens, direct descendants of the High King of Ireland, Brian Boru, it is one of the few estates in Ireland tracing its ancestry back to the period of Gaelic Royalty. Today guests from all parts of the world travel to Dromoland Castle for its luxury, hospitality and serenity. The more than 70 en-suite guest rooms and suites are all beautifully furnished and the elegant dining rooms and stately halls are all part of the incredible Dromoland experience. Classical cuisine is prepared nightly by award-winning chefs and each morning a delicious Irish breakfast is served overlooking the Water. Before and after dinner, guests can be entertained in the Castle Bar with live traditional music, a harpist or pianist. Dromoland Castle offers a full range of activities from riding, golfing, clay pigeon shooting, tennis, archery and mountain biking. Dromoland's location is ideal for touring the West of Ireland with the Cliffs of Moher, Bunratty Village, Ring of Kerry, Galway, and the Blarney Castle nearby. Guests at Dromoland
Castle enjoy world-class golfing on the 18-hole golf course offering
surprising challenges to the amateur and professional alike. The club
house provides private changing rooms, computerized exercise equipment,
sauna and steam-bath facilities. Enjoy horseback riding at a nearby
equestrian center and perhaps ride out to an ancient abbey ruin. Trout fishing is plentiful on Lough Dromoland just below the castle. An experienced "Ghillie" will guide you along a private stream for the perfect catch. Sporting guests are sure to find an activity to suit their taste. Archery, clay pigeon shooting, tennis, and mountain biking, are all available at the estate. For those seeking more adventure, Dromoland also offers the chance to drive a 4 x 4 vehicle on the extensive and challenging off-road driving course. Spend a day at the
