There are probably very few people who wouldn’t like to sleep in a castle. And not a pretend castle made of drywall and ill-conceived decorations situated in Atlantic City. We mean a genuine castle, with hundreds of years of almost mind-boggling history, paintings of the landed gentry from the year 1430, and walls so thick, that even a Boeing 747 could fly past and not wake you from your sleep.
So, as is our wont here at Matouring, here is your opportunity to do just that. Be the Lord and Lady of the manor for one night (or maybe even more.) And, even better, your new favourite place is in Ireland, where it’s mandatory for everyone to be welcoming – and they are, naturally. Not stuffy. Not royal. Just as down to earth as you would expect them to be.
With a history dating back to 1180, Kilkea Castle provides accommodation set on 180 acres of woodland, gardens and a golf course.
