In celebration of the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day we would like to shine a bit of the limelight on the gorgeous things Ireland has to offer besides beer, leprechauns and shamrocks.

Did you for instance know that Ireland is the home of the World’s best hotel of 2015? The magnificent castle hotel ‘Ashford Castle’ is a five star resort, set in 350 acres and can be dated back to the 13th century. It includes 85 rooms with lofty ceilings and views on a picturesque lake.

With a broad range of activities such as horse riding, clay pigeon shooting, tennis and golfing, you’re in for a royal experience. At The Irish School of Falconry you can even learn how to walk one of their hawks.

On one of those walks you may or may not encounter the resident owl Dingle, who has been trained to especially deliver engagement rings and star at your wedding. Wow.

During peak season a bed and breakfast retails for about 495€, a night in the presidential suite can cost up to 2,500€.
