County Offaly Hotels

Offaly is in the centre of Ireland. The Slieve Bloom Mountains are to the south and the rest of the county is largely level countryside and bog land. There's some good fishing in Offaly and the county is quite isolated. In the west, the River Shannon separates Offaly from Counties Galway and Roscommon. For the adventurous, the West Offaly Railway travels through Blackwater Bog and a visit to the Tullamore Dew Heritage Centre will provide a good lesson in whiskey, the water of life. For those who love a good dig, Athlone offers Clonmacnoise, an important early Christian site which has a middle age cathedral, seven churches, two round towers, three high crosses and the largest collection of early Christian graveslabs in Western Europe. Kinnitty Castle Hotel There is drama, there is history, there is elegance and there is theatre. All of these blend seamlessly in and around Kinnitty Castle Hotel. The castle is situated close to the picture-perfect village of Kinnitty.

Set against a backdrop of the Slieve Bloom Mountains, the Gothic Revival castle is in Ireland's only designated Environment Park, sitting centre stage in an impressive 650 acres of rural parkland, including 60 acres of gardens, unspoiled forests and rustic walks.

The Castle has a long and turbulent history. Dating from 1209, the castle was destroyed and rebuilt not once but twice and yet it retains its medieval character and oozes charm. The Castle even has has its own ghost, a monk no less.
