Ashford Castle in Ireland

Ashford Castle in Ireland 

History of the Castle:
-this castle goes all the way back to 1228 AD
-it was founded by the Anglo-Norman family 
-then in the 1700s the owners change to Browne family and they add a lot of French interior
-then after many owners and years later the castle was then bought by Galway Entrepreneur and Hotelier Mr. Gerry Barrett in 2008
-in that same year it opened as a hotel and is still one today



Rooms:

Hallway

Great Room

These pictures are few or the many rooms in this castle/hotel. In my opinion, these rooms are so beautiful, and from what I read it would be a great hotel to stay at especially if you are looking for great views everywhere you go. These rooms have some French interior in them from one of 
the former owners in the 1700s. All of these rooms are very beautiful throughout this castle from what I have seen so far.

Ball Room/Great Room

Bedroom

Gardens:

These gardens are all surrounding this castle on each side. I think that these gardens are very beautiful and give the castle character. The fountains and the flowers look so beautiful together. This would be a great site to visit, and an amazing garden to walk around outside too.
