Welcome to Dromoland Castle

A hideaway for all seasons

Ireland’s most magical address, Dromoland Castle has been welcoming guests since the 16th century. The ancestral home of the O’Briens of Dromoland, whose lineage dates back 1,000 years to Brian Boru, one of the last High Kings of Ireland, we’ve got nobility and hospitality in our DNA.

From the imposing baronial façade to our startling interiors, you’ll find a world of historic grandeur underpinned by the finest modern comforts. With lavish decor, indulgent dining, fabulous views and magnificent bedrooms, this is a place to feel at home.

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.

The Dromoland Castle team extend our heartfelt condolences on the loss of the esteemed course designer, Ron Kirby.

Renowned for his creative touch, Mr. Kirby intricately crafted the 18th green of the Dromoland Golf Course, etching the design onto a napkin while seated by the cocktail bar's window.

We were truly honoured to have welcomed Mr. Kirby back to Dromoland last year, where he witnessed his masterpiece serving as the venue for the Women's Irish Open—an achievement that filled him with immense pride.

Our sympathies and thoughts are with his family and friends.
