ACCOMMODATION REVIEW
Situated on a 500-acre property, which has been in the Fitzgerald family for over 700 years, Glin Castle is one of Ireland's great heritage houses and is owned and run by Desmond, the 29th Knight of Glin, and Olga Fitzgerald. Surrounded by sweeping parkland, Glin Castle, much like Humewood Castle in Wicklow, is one of the most unique places to stay in Ireland. The property retains the atmosphere of an historic castle and houses a famous collection of antique Irish furniture and paintings.

Built originally for entertaining in the true Irish hospitable tradition, the castle has been sympathetically adapted to offer the comfort, modern amenities and professional service required by today's sophisticated traveler. The castle's many works of art are displayed in a series of reception rooms, while the library has a superb mahogany bookcase artfully concealing a door, which leads through to the hall with a unique flying staircase.

The bedrooms exude either a plush cosiness or an airy elegance, while each one is exceptionally comfortable and furnished with period pieces as well as a varied collection of Irish prints and drawings. Hung with portraits and adorned with porcelain, the magnificent drawing room at Glin Castle acts as a quiet, graceful retreat and is the perfect venue for pre-dinner drinks. The castle is surrounded by manicured formal gardens with clipped hedges, stone urns and busts. The gardens include a beautiful walled garden, which supplies the kitchen with fresh fruit and vegetables and a lost Victorian garden, which houses a Gothic hermitage.
