Set in a spectacular 350 acre estate on the picturesque shores of Lough Corrib, the winning guests will enjoy Ireland’s famous hospitality on a grand scale and the chance to try a host of activities.
In 1939, the Ashford Castle opened its door as an exclusive hotel garnering a five-star reputation as one of most luxurious resort hotels in the world where high profile celebrities and public figures reveled in its Old World charm. Romantic souls might recall the Oscar-winning 1952 flick, The Quiet Man, featuring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara filmed in the shadow of Ashford Castle and the nearby village of Cong (worth a stop, but a very quiet and small village). In honor of the film, the castle features daily showings of the flick.
