Irish Castles & Manor Houses
Ireland is famous for its ancient Castles (located all over the country) — many are in ruins, while others can be rented out for special occasions and some have even been converted to "Castle Hotels" to accommodate overnight guests. With more castle hotels than in England, Ireland is the place to go if you want to stay in a castle hotel. In addition to classic castles, there's also a variety of historic Manor Houses (many offering luxurious overnight stays and fine dining) with beautiful gardens.
