Brendan Vacations has introduced an itinerary that gives guests an immersive, private accommodations experience inside two castles in Ireland.
The nine-day Legendary Castles Stay features three-night stays in Ashford Castle — a 350-acre, 13th century Lough Corrib lake residence and castle hotel in western Ireland that was once home to the Guinness family — and Dromoland Castle — a 450-acre, 16th century castle hotel in County Clare.
Guests will have access to the property’s amenities such as spas, restaurants and outdoor activities including falconry, archery, woodland trekking and horseback riding. The experience also comes with a private chauffeur who will take guests on tours highlighting ancient and modern sites.
Tour highlights include a visit to the 19th century Kylemore Abbey in the Connemara region, signature Make Travel Matter culinary experiences including a walking tour in Galway to sample flavors by artisan restaurants and market stands, a visit to the Irish National Stud horse-breeding farm and a stop at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin.
Prices for the Legendary Castles Stay itinerary begin at $8,470 per person.
