Ross Castle, built during the 16th century, is a listed building restored to contemporary standards and beautifully furnished with family antiques and authentically decorated.
It is one of Ireland's premier exclusive use venues with luxury accommodation for up to 40.
Ross Castle sits majestically at the door of Connemara, in some of Ireland's most famous countryside yet only 9 miles from the centre of Galway City - one of the most vibrant and exciting of the major cities in the south.
It boasts a most luxurious main house with 5 bedrooms, a separate wing with 4 interconnecting apartments, 2 courtyard cottages, a chapel, an indoor heated swimming pool, billiards room, fabulous lawns that lead down to a private lake, a tennis court and walled gardens. A wonderfully private retreat for family reunions, weddings and holidays and a great place to do business.
Ross Castle is close to many superb golf courses, fine restaurants and exciting cultural and historical houses, ruins and monasteries. Shannon International Airport is 1 hour's drive from Ross or guests can use the smaller but active airport of Galway.
The Aran Islands, Cliffs of Mohar are both within easy striking distance, and there are plenty of places to ride both on the estate and close by.
The Courtyard at Ross Castle increases the number of bedrooms by an extra 16 rooms in 3 separate apartments. The St. George is a six bedroom cottage that forms one side of the square, while Catherines is a three bedroom cottage forming another side.
The apartment wing, attached and internally accessible to the main Castle adds a further six bedrooms in four interconnected apartments, each of which is self-contained, making the third side. And the lovely private Chapel completes the square.
This configuration allows for parties from 1 to 12 to hire individual self-catered units, or for parties of up to 30 to self cater in the Courtyard accommodation.
The kitchen in one of the apartment units - Mrs. Marshalls - can serve up to 30 people, and there is a large hall in the St George apartment where parties of up to 40 can all congregate.
Exclusive use hire of all the accommodation (40 people in 20 bedrooms with the 5 bedrooms in the main tower included) and the entire estate is a popular option.
