Former Castle Hotels in Cross of the Tree

Carrigeen Castle was erected in 1599. In 1690, the castle was further fortified to repel the Danish troops of William II. The space was turned into a temporary prison in 1809 and was expanded using the design of the committee's chosen architect, Michael Bernard Mullins. It was further expanded again in 1850, during the Great Famine. Today you can enjoy magnificent views of the mountains and the garden in traditionally designed rooms and surrounded by modern comforts.

The Neo-Gothic property was an original castle up until 1720, when it was renovated into a Georgian manor house, rivaling the splendour of the French châteaux. Stroll around 840 acres of pristine land or practice your swings on the golf courses. The hotel also gives you exciting activities to distract you from your busy life; try out horse riding through the country sides like the olden days, experience the thrill of the hunt in game shooting, or hone your hand-to-eye coordination with archery.
