The gardens are exceptional – with pleasure grounds at the back of the house, and winding gravel paths leading through formal lawns, and meadows with both a picturesque stream 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.
Glin Castle is the ancestral home of the Knights of Glin and still the family home of the FitzGeralds. The present castle was built in the 1780’s and 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 is an up-to-date catering kitchen with everything needed to cater for up to 30 people staying in the house.
The main house and the adjacent wing of Glin Castle have 15 bedrooms which sleep up to 30 guests. 12 spacious beautiful en suite bedrooms are situated in the main house, while the remaining 3 equally beautiful en suite bedrooms are situated in the adjacent wing.
The 12 exceptional bedrooms with en suite bathrooms are all beautifully decorated with porcelain and pictures collected over generations and arranged by the late Knight of Glin.
