Castle Stays

Ireland`s countryside contains countless historic castles that range from luxurious and romantic accommodations, to towers that are in ruins after thousands of years.  They are all filled with character and history. Many of these castles are medieval, dating from the 11th to the 18th century; they were built as fortified homes for chieftains or Anglo Norman settlers and designed for defense. Others were built during the flamboyant Georgian era and the revival of the Victorian age.
