The story
An Eighteenth-Century Castle on Lough Meelagh
Kilronan Castle is an 18th-century castle on the shores of Lough Meelagh in County Roscommon, surrounded by 50 acres of woodland. Inside, the castle has 85 bedrooms, including family, accessible, twin and classic double rooms, and four castle suites kept for brides, who keep the same suite throughout a longer stay. Self-catering accommodation stands within the grounds, and the Douglas Hyde Restaurant holds a 2AA Rosette. The castle is about two hours from Dublin Airport and fifty minutes from Knock, with Carrick-on-Shannon twenty minutes away and Sligo thirty.
Weddings here range from two guests to 360 in the Grand Ballroom, which can also be arranged for smaller numbers. The Grand Ballroom and the Lake Terrace are both licensed for civil ceremonies. Each wedding is allocated up to 40 bedrooms for the night, with up to 20 more for a pre- or post-wedding party, and guests receive reduced bed and breakfast rates. The Dungeon Bar has a terrace over the lake for summer barbecues, and winter buffets are served beside open fires. Couples are offered a menu tasting around three months beforehand, with a wine tasting at the same visit, and all-inclusive packages are available at weekends and midweek. The nearest Catholic churches are at Ballyfarnon and Keadue.
