Set in 1,000 acres of Irish countryside, the estate compromises a 5-star castle and a 4-star lodge.

The Superior Lodge rooms have deep roll-top baths, flat-screen TVs and some have views of the equestrian centre or woodland. The Castle Heritage Rooms are all individually designed.

Just under two hours from Dublin or one hour from Belfast, the castle was named the Best Boutique Hotel in Ireland at the 2012 Hospitality Ireland Awards while the restaurant was hailed as the Best Hotel Restaurant in Ulster 2011.
