Okay so you and your wifey got married and you want to go on a honeymoon. At the reception, you dance to that David Pomeranz classic King and Queen of Hearts. It is only fitting that you spend your honeymoon being treated like royalty. Below are top Castle hotels in Ireland.

1)      Ashford Castle- If you want to experience being the ruler of a 350 Acre estate then this is the hotel for you. Ashford Castle has a 700 year history and its rich past is imbedded in every area of the castle. It is indeed a sight to behold and you can take turns taking pictures of each other looking out the window and unto the Acres for dramatic “I am the King (or Queen)!” effect.

2)      Ballynagowan Castle- If you’re looking for a more child-friendly environment, look no further than the newly restore Ballynagowan Castle. Formerly called Smithstown Castle, this estate is set in beautiful County Clare. It is slightly less formal than other castles and could be considered as one of the more modern castle hotels. Children who do not care too much for history would love it.

3)      Ballyportry Castle- As we all know, castles are actually fortresses. As much as we want to believe the fairy tales, the biggest fights do not involve the prince and an evil witch doctor. In BallyportryCastle, you can see how things look during troubled times as it has been restored into such era.

4)      Barberstown Castle- Living in a Castle can get old(pun intended). Perhaps you want to experience the best of the old world and the new. BArberstown Castle is only a few kilometers from Dublin where you can enjoy an exciting nightlife and modern day amenities. Afterwards you can head back to your lofty perch.

5)      Castle Leslie- Castle Leslie is one castle for people who want to experience the outdoors. They have three sublime lakes and a woodland with a great selection of trees. The greatest of Kings are known to be outdoors-type of people and by experiencing the present day surroundings, you are following their royal footsteps. Picture included in this article, see above picture of Castle Leslie

There is a castle for everyone who wants to experience a dash of royalty. Not all castles are alike but in each one, you will be treated majestically.
