Arthurstown
Dunbrody House
An 1830s Georgian house on the Hook Peninsula, in 300 acres of parkland, with menus by Kevin Dundon and weddings kept small.
Ireland
A fortified castle of 1247 on the Boro river in Wexford, turrets and all, let privately.

A closer look
Wilton looks the way people imagine an Irish castle: chimney stacks, turrets and parkland running down to the Boro river. It is let privately on a self catering basis, with ceremonies outdoors and the grounds to yourselves.
Enniscorthy is ten minutes away and Wexford town about 25, with the coast beyond. Dogs are welcome, which is not something most castles say.

Planning facts
For guests travelling in. Driving times are by road without traffic, from Wilton Castle, so allow more at busy times.
Railway stations are those on the Irish Rail network, and the nearest by road is not always the best connection. Check the timetable before you plan a guest's day around a train.
OpenStreetMap lists 5 places to stay within 10 km of Wilton Castle, and 45 within 20 km. Distances are in a straight line, not drive times.
OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and is thinner in rural areas, so treat these counts as a minimum and check booking sites for your dates. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors, updated October 2026.
