Glin Castle

The present castle was built in the 1780’s. It has exquisite Neo-classical interiors, a delicate Adam–style ceiling, grand entrance hall with Corinthian columns, a large dining room and 3 comfortable reception rooms for relaxing and entertaining in.

There are 12 exceptional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms over two floors, all beautifully decorated with porcelain and pictures collected over generations and arranged by the late Knight of Glin. There are also 3 further slightly smaller en-suite bedrooms in the adjoining wing with views looking over the garden, fifteen bedrooms in all. 

There is an up-to-date catering kitchen with everything needed to cater for up to 30 people staying in the house. Glin Castle is currently only available for private lettings, events and weddings.

The gardens are exceptional with pleasure grounds at the back of the house, formal lawns, a picturesque stream, meadow, winding gravel walks and ancient oak trees. The walled Kitchen Garden is full of charm, with romantic borders, rose arches and a vegetable and herb plot. Adjoining it is the original stone and cobbled stable yard.

There is a strenuous 7km walk, which begins at the entrance to the drive, and runs up the hill to a platform where on a clear day the view stretches down to the mouth of the Shannon and back towards Limerick.

Glin Castle is surrounded by a 350 acre dairy farm.
