Ashford Castle

Hawk-walks through the woods, clay shooting on the lawn, a black-tie dinner in a medieval hall — the most storybook 'rent-a-castle' your company will ever do.

A literal 800-year-old castle on 350 lakeshore acres, once home to the Guinness family — falconry school, lake cruisers, and a forest that feels lifted from myth.
