This gem of a castle and beautiful parkland surroundings is only 90 mins from Dublin and well worth the trip. Perfect for families of all ages and especially for children. The tree house and playground is idyllic as well as fun ( and yes I did go on the slide and yes I had a go on the swings) beautiful food in the coffee shop and a shout out to Conor for the warm welcome at reception.. Highly recommended
