A luxurious 5-star castle hotel set on 450 acres of parkland in County Clare, Ireland. While primarily a golf and spa resort, it offers extensive family-friendly facilities including the 'Little Lords and Ladies' kids' club (ages 4-12) with games, crafts, and treasure hunts. Older kids can enjoy falconry, archery, fishing, and horse-drawn carriage rides. Indoor pool and playground keep little ones entertained on rainy days. The golf course is championship-level (18 holes), but children can use the putting green. Dining options include a formal restaurant and a more casual bar with kids' menus. Practical tip: book a family room or suite; babysitting is available upon request.
