Kilkea Castle Hotel & Golf Resort ****

Historic castle with modern comforts

Kilkea Castle is one of the oldest inhabited castles in Ireland. Its history dates back to 1180. Surrounded by the beautiful countryside of County Kildare, the castle offers unique accommodation with modern comforts within historic walls. The family-run estate offers its own spa, a challenging 18-hole championship golf course and outstanding gastronomy. Kilkea Castle is the perfect accommodation for an unforgettable golfing break in Ireland.

Golf, equestrian sports and much more
Kildare is a hotspot for golf. The county has welcomed the world's best golfers to the K Club for the Ryder Cup and hosted 13 European Opens. The town of Kildare is officially recognized as an Irish Heritage Town. It is also famous in equestrian circles. The lush green countryside of **Thoroughbred County** is home to many of Ireland's finest stallions, stables and racecourses. Curragh, Punchestown and Naas racecourses are big names on the scene. A journey through the thoroughbred county should start at the Irish National Stud. The Japanese Gardens, on the other hand, are a sanctuary of 200-year-old bonsai trees, lava rock from Vesuvius and a path that traces the evolution of man. A different kind of garden experience awaits visitors at St. Fiachra's Garden. Named after the patron saint of Irish gardeners, this garden is dedicated entirely to the theme of stone and water - the most primal of all features of the Irish landscape. The county lies just outside Dublin. Its luxury hotels, spas and inns are the perfect base for excursions into the city. A leisurely boat trip along the Grand Canal is also particularly beautiful.
