St. Patrick's Day at Ashford Castle
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
In honor of the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday,
how about a stay at one of Ireland's premier castle hotels, Ashford Castle.
Situated in near Cong, in County Mayo, Ashford Castle is a wonderful place to experience the luxuries of country living
in a structure that parts of which were begun in 1228. Some enhancements have been made since the dark ages, notably
bathrooms and electricity. The hotel is on the shores of Lough Corrib, Ireland's second largest lake and features
elegant grounds perfect for an afternoon stroll. As a former guest of the hotel, I can attest to the warmest service
and delicious dining that the castle offers. By the way, if you can't make it to the castle soon, rent "The Quiet
Man" with John Wayne. It was filmed in the village of Cong and on the castle grounds in 1951. If you can, arrive
by helicopter to get a bird's eye view of the castle and grounds.
