A hideaway for all seasons

Behind our warm Irish welcome is the belief that every guest is royalty. Stroll the 500-acre estate. Tee off on our world class golf course. Take afternoon tea by a roaring fire.  Enjoy delicious cuisine. No matter what your preference, at Dromoland Castle there’s no escaping the sense that you are walking in the shadows of kings.

The pinnacle of excellence, come in the knowledge that all your expectations will be met. A remarkable retreat with an easy elegance, it’s time to make Dromoland Castle a part of your story.

They also got to meet Frankie who explained all about our composting initiatives and Dorothy our Head Gardener gave them a thorough insight into the history of Dromolands flora & fauna. 

Each student left with crocus and hyacinth bulbs to sow at home before a treat of hot chocolate and pastries from the fabulous Fig Tree Restaurant.
