Dromland Castle In County Clare

Located in Newmarket-on-Fergus, Co Clare Dromoland castle is one of very few castles, which can be dated back through history to Gaelic Irish families of royal heritage. Dating back to the 16th century, Dromoland castle has since been turned into one of Ireland’s exclusive hotels, with its impressive grounds, the ambience within in the castle and from the staff, its ability to preserve the romanticism and age-old nobility which Dromoland castle presents.

The castle boasts 100 rooms, which have been styled with luxury and comfort. Guests can choose from standard rooms, turrets suites and presidential suites. Each room has a view of the magnificent land around and has its own personalized feel of castle living along with modern day accommodation.

Dining in the castle is also an experience as all tastes are accounted for with a six-course dinner menu or simply a light snack in the Country Club. There are two splendid restaurants within the castle itself, The Fig Tree is an informal café where one can have a light lunch or you have the Award Winning Thomond Restaurant which is more formal.

Outside, for the slightly more athletic or sports minded guest there is a championship golf course, clay shooting, fishing, horse riding and many more active pursuits.
