Castle’s impeccable service
and picturesque setting.
CHRISTMAS IN A
LEGENDARY CASTLE
The perfect base
from which to explore
the culture and
history of Ireland.
A rare opportunity to spend Christmas in one
of Ireland’s most beautiful landmarks. The Irish
home of the Dukes of Devonshire for almost three
centuries, Lismore Castle sits on the banks of the
River Blackwater and dates back to 1170. Guests
have the opportunity to rent the entire castle – a
wintery estate, all your own. Built on the site of
a 7th-century monastery, the castle displays an
extraordinary history, from cannonball-marked
walls to contemporary art and Old Masters, and
has welcomed guests from Fred Astaire and
Lucian Freud, to John F. Kennedy. With expansive
gardens, butler service and a private chef, it
serves as the perfect base from which to explore
the culture and history of Ireland.
