Ashford Castle, in a magnificent 350-acre estate on the picturesque shores of Lough Corrib, is one of Ireland's most impressive hotels. As Ireland's first Forbes Five-Star Hotel and the former home of the Guinness family, Ashford Castle is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With a history stretching back almost 800 years, it provides acclaimed hospitality on a grand scale.
