Ashford Castle

Elegant historic castle.
The 800-year-old Ashford Castle is set on 350-acres of ancient woodland. This 13th-century estate overlooks Lough Corrib, one of the largest lakes in Ireland.
Stay With Purpose
Ashford Castle left half of the estate to its natural habitat, allowing native wildlife to thrive. It also enables travelers to experience Ireland’s histories, traditions, and trades, while supporting local artisans. Learn more about purpose-driven initiatives at Ashford Castle.
Insider Tip

Enjoy a wine tasting experience in an authentic wine cellar that was once the coal bunkers for the Guinness family.

Where You’re Staying

Each of the 83 accommodations are individually designed and decorated with antique furniture, bespoke carpets and beds, and unique works of art. Accommodations feature bold color palettes with luxurious Egyptian cotton linens. Select rooms in the oldest wing of the castle feature original fireplaces and high ceilings, while accommodations in the historic Boathouse overlook the shores of Lough Corrib.

Where to Dine

George V Dining Room serves fine Irish cuisine with locally sourced ingredients, some from the estate. The Dungeon offers hearty Irish and international favorites, featuring Josper grill specialties like smoky, locally sourced steaks. Seasonal Cullen’s at the Cottage serves casual dishes in summer. Enjoy afternoon tea in the Connaught Room or cocktails at The Prince of Wales Bar or Billiards Room.

Where to Relax

Ashford Spa offers a hammam, steam room, relaxation pool with a Celtic mural, and five treatment rooms. The Ashford Castle Ritual combines five specialized spa treatments and includes a massage, hair treatment, and facial.

What to Do

Tee off at the castle’s nine-hole golf course or at a number of surrounding golf courses. Cruise Lough Corrib on a passenger vessel or in a traditional wooden boat. Fish in Lough Corrib with a local guide. Horseback ride across the grounds. Practice clay shooting and archery. Fly a Harris Hawk around the estate.
