Ashford Castle
Cong, County Mayo, Ireland.
A truly stunning piece of architecture, the present building is comprised of a genuine medieval castle (the origins of which are reputed to go back as far as the early 13th century), a more recent “lodge” (early 18th century) whose appearance is not unlike a Loire valley chateau, and latterly some Victorian additions.
The property has been owned by several different families, from the original de Burgos through to Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness in the mid 1800’s. Famous guests include King George V and Queen Mary, Oscar Wilde, and numerous luminaries of stage and screen.
Boasting over 80 guest rooms and suites, Ashford Castle is located on the border of Mayo and Galway and is ideally situated for those seeking to explore this part of Ireland’s west coast by car.
