| Glin Castle, one of Ireland’s most historic properties,
has been in the FitzGerald family, hereditary Knights of Glin, for
over 700 years. The castle with its superb interiors, decorative
plasterwork, and collections of Irish furniture and paintings, stands
on the bank of the River Shannon surrounded by formal gardens and
parkland and in the middle of 500 acres of wood and dairy farm.
One hour’s drive from Shannon airport, half an hour from Ballybunion
championship golf course and within easy reach of three other such
courses, including the new Greg Norman links course, Doonbeg. |

The Ring of Kerry, Dingle Peninsula and the wonders of Co Clare including the
Cliffs of Moher and the Burren (via the nearby car ferry) make
Glin a superb centre for exploring southwest Ireland. We offer
the best in Irish Country House cuisine, using fresh vegetables
and fruit from the beautifully kept walled kitchen garden, locally
produced meat and poultry and freshly caught fish. Hard tennis
court and croquet lawn are in the gardens. Clay pigeon shooting
and archery can be arranged on site. Glin village, which boasts
the most traditional pub in Ireland, is at the front gate.

| The castle has four Deluxe rooms, six Superior rooms and five
Standard rooms. Each deluxe room has both river and garden views.
Superior and Standard rooms are situated in either the old Castle
Wing or the third floor. Each bedroom has its own unique bathroom.
All of the bedrooms and their bathrooms differ from each other in
layout, style and decor. There is no lift at Glin Castle. |
