Castle - Cong, Co Mayo - - Cong - download pdf

“Ashford Castle” is nothing if not truly regal - a majestic Castle with bridge and fairytale towers, set on the shores of the Lough Corrib. It once belonged to the Guinness family, dating back to the 13th century - a true, classic Castle for all time.

Nothing is left to the imagination, as you enter Ashford Castle’s great hall, you are greeted by pure opulence, rich wood panelling, exquisite period pieces, oeuvres d’art and original masterpiece paintings, attesting to the Castle’s glorious history-laden past.

The guestrooms are no exception. Designed and elaborated in great detail – like the castle -, many of the rooms retain their original grandeur with individually stylized fabrics and furnishings and with great attention to detail, such as marble fittings, fresh flowers, sumptuous canopy beds - all the creature comforts imaginable.

And in true “Ashford Castle” tradition, the award winning George V dining room and the gourmet restaurant, the Connaught Room, feature the very best in freshly picked Irish produce prepared and seasoned in a feast of culinary delight fit for a king.

The Castle also offers a full range of activities including falconry, tennis, fishing on Lough Corrib, clay pigeon shooting, horseback riding, an exclusive 9-hole golf course and a splendid health centre.
