Overview

A magical place where 13th-century castles overlook tranquil lakes, peat fires scent the air and the days still revolve around traditional country pursuits.

Although Ireland’s scenic beauty and warm hospitality are the stuff of legends, the world-class standards of its hotels tend to take many of us by surprise.

Yes, we knew it was dotted with ancient castles and sprawling estates, but we never realised its cuisine was quite so creative, nor that its service was quite so attentive and that some of its hotels can offer spas to match the world’s best. Maybe it was too close to home to apportion with even a week of our time?

Whatever the reason, and whether you are considering a tour or simply a brief weekend, you are now invited to discover its delights for yourself.

Why not experience the cosmopolitan vibe of Dublin, enjoy the awe-inspiring scenery, play a round of golf on one of many quality courses or enjoy a fabulous spa treatment?
