Dublin
Clontarf Castle Hotel
A genuine 12th century castle turned hotel in north Dublin, 15 minutes from the city centre.
Dublin · Co. Dublin
A castle on a 560 acre private estate at Castleknock, 20 minutes from Dublin city centre.
A closer look
Luttrellstown is the grandest thing on this list and prices accordingly. The castle sits in 560 private acres on the western edge of Dublin, with a walled garden, a lake and a ballroom, and it can be taken exclusively with 25 bedrooms in the castle.
The address is the selling point: this level of estate, twenty minutes from the city and half an hour from the airport. For a smaller wedding, ask which rooms are used rather than assuming the main ballroom.
