Rating * * * * *
|
![]() Dromoland
is one of Ireland's most famous baronial castles. Dating back
to the 16th century, the Castle is the ancestral seat of the
O'Briens, direct descendants of the High King Brian Ború. Stately
halls, elegant public areas and beautifully furnished rooms
are designed for relaxation and steeped in that timeless atmosphere
that is unique to the Castle. The Castle's international reputation
for excellence is reflected in the award winning cuisine of
its Earl of Thomond restaurant. The Castle is regarded as one
of Europe's top luxury hotels - the choice of royalty, statesmen
and world famous celebrities. Through your bedroom window the
grounds of the Estate are spread magnificently before your eyes.
Each guestroom enjoys its own individual personality, blending
period decoration with today's modern amenities... Dromoland
bedrooms give an uncommon degree of comfort to guests, it is
refreshing to relax and reflect on the enjoyments of the day
and perhaps call Room Service to deliver canapés and champagne
before dinner.
The facilities at Dromoland Castle are second to none. The renowned
Earl of Thomond Dining Room, has earned world wide acclaim.
In addition to the fully equipped gymnasium, sauna and steam
rooms, there is a health and beauty clinic with a hair salon
and a comprehensive range of rejuvenating body and facial treatments
from manicures and pedicures to massage, aromatherapy and reflexology.
The Dromoland Estate includes the Dromoland Golf and Country
Club. Over the past 30 years, the course has developed a reputation
as one of the best in the West of Ireland. The 18 hole golf
course offers surprising challenges to experienced golfers but
is also very palyable for amateurs as well. The Club House has
private changing rooms and the Green Room Bar. In the evening
you can relax and enjoy fine brasserie dining at the Club's
own Fig Tree Restaurant.
Lough Dromoland, just below the Castle, offers a fine opportunity
to take in some trout fishing. An experienced ghillie will guide
you along Dromoland's private stream to find the perfect catch.
The lands surrounding Dromoland Castle have plenty of space
to roam and explore on horse back, whether it's a gentle trot
in the woodland areas or a gallop on the open fields. Sporting
guests are assured of finding activities to suit their tastes
from a choice of horseback riding, archery, clay pigeon shooting
and mountain biking. The really adventurous can drive a 4 x
4 vehicle on the extensive and challenging off road driving
course.
