Ross Castle - Historic Castle Accommodation Ireland
Ross Castle is a genuine 14th-century Norman Tower House on the shores of Lough Sheelin in County Meath, just over an hour from Dublin. Built in 1520 for the Nugent family, the castle commands views across Cavan, Westmeath, Longford, and Meath, and is available for exclusive hire throughout the year.
Five hundred years later, Ross Castle has kept its medieval character while offering every comfort of the modern world. A stay here means sleeping within the walls of a real Norman keep, with the entire castle and grounds belonging to your group alone. It is an extraordinary setting for boutique weddings, wellness retreats, corporate offsites, family gatherings, celebrations, and private parties.
With the Great Room and the Bishop’s Suite, the main castle sleeps up to 17 guests. Two cottages and Quarry House sit within the grounds, available to extend your booking or to book on their own. Ross Castle is booked by one group at a time and is not available as a nightly bed and breakfast.
