Glin Castle

Review

During my extensive journey through Ireland, visiting numerous historic houses and castles for the compilation of this "Top 100 Historic Houses and Gardens book", my encounter with Glin Castle and its current custodian, Catherine FitzGerald, the latest generation to secure the future of Glin, was particularly memorable. The warmth of the welcome, the rich history encapsulated within its walls, and the breathtaking beauty of its surroundings make Glin Castle a standout experience and I haven’t even started talking about the homemade scones and cream yet! This visit not only highlighted the castle's architectural and historical significance but also underscored the deep personal connection and dedication the FitzGerald family has to this extraordinary estate. Glin Castle is, without doubt, a jewel in the crown of Ireland's heritage, offering a glimpse into the life of nobility with an unmatched sense of authenticity and exclusivity.

I have chosen all of my romantic destinations very carefully and Glin Castle was no exception; you're not just selecting a venue; you're becoming part of a legacy, where every stone and every blade of grass whispers tales of love, chivalry, and the eternal bond of marriage. Here, in this secluded haven, love is not just celebrated; it is consecrated amidst the enduring splendor of one of Ireland's most precious jewels.
