Hotel Description
Castle Durrow, now one of Ireland's most luxurious Irish Country House Hotels is situated in the village of Durrow, Co Laois, an hour or so from Dublin on the N8 Cork road. Built by Capt. William Flower (later to become Viscount Ashbrook) in 1716 as his family home in the Midlands of Ireland, its pre Palladian design and formal gardens were the height of fashion in their day and the grey / blue cut stone contrasts with the breathtaking views of the landscape.
Castle Durrow has been completely restored and decorated by Peter & Shelly Stokes in a comfortable, relaxing and contemporary style with modern way of life and fashion in mind without overlooking its past. The informal mood makes your enjoyment of the Irish Countryside a delight. Our pleasure gardens, river walks and adjoining woodland are terrific for working up your appetite & thirst to be satisfied by our award winning chef David Rouse.
Good food and wines (all sensibly priced) in our magnificent dining rooms is a pleasure for you to enjoy. Romantic four poster beds in our master rooms, sleigh beds in our deluxe rooms or the large deep beds of our oriental rooms guarantee you a luscious sleep at night. Coffee, Tea's and Mineral Waters served with our compliments to our staying guests. (Minerals for the children) We pride ourselves at being family friendly.

Castle Durrow's Bedrooms
The restoration of Castle Durrow began in 1998. Many of the origional 18th and 19th centuary architectural features were intact and were carefully restored and repaired. The plentyfull bedroom accomodation of Lord Ashbrook's luxurious home was lovingly and individually decorated and furnished by its new owner Shelly Stokes. Each room was given unique attention as if it were to be her own bedroom. The accommodation is distinctive in its many shapes, spaciousness, elegance and attention to detail. Whether you are staying in one of our Oriental Style Bedrooms at the top of the house, in one of the De Luxe Bedrooms in the East Wing, in one of the two-bedroomed Family Rooms, in one of the Castle Yard Rooms, or in one of the very special Master Rooms, you're sure to enjoy your stay and feel relaxed in the peace and tranquillity that we have at Castle Durrow.
