Although I plan on writing about the rest of our trip when
we return home, I figured Ashford Castle was worthy of its own post simply
because it was such a unique experience.
When we were planning what to do in Ireland, I had only one
wish: to stay in a castle. On Wednesday, August 13, we did just
that. It was so amazing! I love Cinderella Castle and Sleeping Beauty
Castle, but come on – Ashford Castle is a REAL castle! We have been so fortunate to stay in some
incredible places over the course of our travels, but this castle was
indescribable. I wish we could have
spent a year there!
For those of you who watch HGTV, you are familiar with the
term “open concept floor plan.” While it
is clearly not a popular opinion, I am NOT AT ALL a fan of open concept floors
plans. I love doorways and hallways and
staircases and separate rooms…I think there is something so charming and
romantic about quiet corners and cozy nooks.
As you’ll see in the photos below, Ashford Castle was filled
with all of these elements that I love so much.
Even though we were only there for about 24 hours, we filled our time
with awesome memories – relaxing in the lounge listening to live music,
exploring the castle, wandering the beautiful gardens and grounds, and taking a
boat cruise around Lough Corrib. Just
lovely!
Happy Tails to you!
