Comfortably sleeping up to 10 guests (plus a children’s bunk room), the Guest Wing offers space, tranquility, and atmosphere unlike anywhere else in Ireland. Located just 45 minutes from Dublin Airport, Barmeath Castle is ideally positioned for visitors seeking an authentic Irish experience — surrounded by gardens, woodland, golf courses, and world-famous heritage sites such as Newgrange Monument. A Heritage Estate with Modern Comforts Barmeath Castle’s story begins in 1450, originally as a fortified residence before being transformed into a Georgian home and later reimagined as a castle in 1790\. Today, the estate remains under the care of the Bellew family, whose stewardship has elevated its gardens and grounds to extraordinary beauty over the past 25 years. Inside the Guest Wing, every detail captures this harmony between past and present. Spacious bedrooms with period furnishings and modern bedding ensure peaceful rest. A fully equipped kitchen and large dining area make family meals a pleasure. Elegant living spaces with high ceilings, fireplaces, and soft lighting provide the perfect setting for conversation or a quiet evening. The bunk room offers an ideal retreat for children, making this property both luxurious and family-friendly. Gardens, Grounds & Estate Features The estate extends over 12 acres of formal gardens and 100 acres of private woodland, offering endless opportunities to relax and explore. The Walled Garden — a beautifully tended space inspired by French garden design, featuring fruit trees, vegetables, and long herbaceous borders bursting with color. The Wild Garden — a contrast of natural charm, ideal for morning walks or quiet reading surrounded by birdsong. Outdoor Pool — available during summer months for refreshing swims in the peaceful surroundings of the estate. Tennis Courts — choose between the grass court or hard court for an afternoon match with family or friends. Woodland Trails — meander through 100 acres of ancient trees and discover the serenity that has inspired generations. An Ideal Base for Exploring Ireland’s East Coast Barmeath Castle Guest Wing sits in the heart of County Louth — a region rich with history, golf, and coastal beauty. Within a short drive, you’ll find: Newgrange & Brú na Bóinne – UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of the oldest monuments in Europe. Baltray Golf Club – a championship links course and home of the East of Ireland Championship. Seapoint Golf Club – another coastal gem offering stunning sea views and challenging fairways. Carlingford & the Cooley Peninsula – perfect for hiking, sailing, and sampling local seafood. Drogheda – a historic town filled with restaurants, shops, and medieval architecture. For day trips, Dublin lies only one hour south, offering world-class culture, dining, and entertainment. To the north, Belfast (one hour) awaits with its Titanic Museum and vibrant city life. A Family Estate with Heart and History Barmeath Castle is more than a place to stay — it’s a living piece of Irish history. The Bellew family continues to live on the estate, ensuring that the gardens and heritage are preserved with care and passion. Lord Bellew personally oversees the estate’s restoration and ongoing improvements, welcoming guests who appreciate both its beauty and authenticity. This connection gives your stay a uniquely warm and personal touch — a balance between grandeur and genuine hospitality.
