This included staying in elegantly decorated rooms, experiencing having a hawk land on your hand when called, dining in the George V dining room and taking a morning walk with Irish Wolfhounds,\u201d says past guest Louise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201dWhen we first arrived at the castle, we were brought into the game room that had a billiards table and chess table set up for us to enjoy. When my two daughters sat down to play chess on the red velvet oversized chairs with the large portrait of two girls, a boy, and a dog, I took out my camera to capture this moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\nTour not found.\n\n\n<p><strong><em>You may also like: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/best-castles-in-ireland\/\">The ultimate guide to the most beautiful castles in Ireland<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-seeing-ireland-by-bus-was-incredible\">\u201cSeeing Ireland by bus was incredible\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSeeing Ireland by bus was incredible,\u201d says past guest Robert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDay one of travel on bus allowed for recovery of jet lag.
