Kilronan Castle Estate
Overlooking Lough Meelagh deep in a 40-acre estate, this restored 18th-century castle offers keenly priced luxury in a romantic setting. Facilities include an impressive spa which includes a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and beauty salon along with a swimming pool---or just meander around the gardens. The Douglas Hyde Restaurant (named after Ireland’s first president---a local man) overlooks the grounds and sources local ingredients for a well-chosen menu.
