Apologizes for the crazy headline, I was trying to get all owl-y and I’m not sure it really worked. Anyhow, I just got word on this fabulous engagement package at one of my favorite castles in the world. Yes, you read that correctly—a Castle!
Set in the verdant countryside of the gorgeous emerald isle of my ancestors, the Ashford Castle is everything you’d expect from a stately manor house. There are fireplace-lit common rooms, and overstuffed furniture, expansive grounds and delectable treats at teatime. The castle, which dates back to 1228, also has an awesome falconry program that’s renowned throughout the world.
Now comes the part of the post with the even more fun and excitement! The intimate hotel just announced a new proposal package, which features a falconry lesson and the appearance of property’s owl, Dingle. Now, isn’t that a hoot! (Again, I just can’t resist.) Couples who are wise enough to book the package will also receive three night, champagne, a couple’s massage, a romantic candlelit dinner, a champagne breakfast in bed and a cool boat ride on the property’s river. Rates start at about $1,940. Go to ashford.ie for more information.
