Honeymoons

For a honeymoon brimming with enchanting romance, few venues are more likely to provide this than our 800-year-old castle, sequestered within a 350-acre estate in the west of Ireland. Ashford Castle is blessed with 83 rooms and suites to choose from, six restaurants, three bars, an award-winning spa, and over 20 outdoor adventures that the estate’s vast grounds play host to. Begin your honeymoon with a world-famous warm Irish welcome before basking in the glow of all that Ashford Castle has to offer.

Your dream itinerary

If your dream honeymoon involves both adventure and intrigue, the Ashford Estate and its surrounding area provides the perfect playground. The serene waters of neighbouring Lough Corrib lend themselves to boat trips, lake cruising, kayaking and fishing. The verdant estate woodlands form the backdrop for walking, hiking, horseback riding, tree climbing, zip-lining, and even falconry. Honeymooners looking to inject some competition into their stay are more than welcome to make use of our tennis, golf, clay shooting, and archery facilities.

Award-winning dining

The castle is fortunate to house a multitude of dining and drink options, each with their own unique characteristics; The George V Dining Room is a fine dining haven, The Dungeon has a truly medieval feel, and Cullen's at the Cottage welcomes you with a crackling fire and a cosy atmosphere. 

Wine tasting experiences

For wine lovers looking to toast their union in style, our wine cellar, found in the secret passageways of the castle, offers private wine tastings and wine dinners.
