“The feeling of being welcomed into a legacy-one shaped by the Guinness family, no less-resonates from the moment you arrive. Its 350-acre grounds are not just for show; they're an invitation to falconry, horseback riding, and a bit of clay shooting. I was particularly drawn to the personalized experiences and the emphasis on local culture, which elevated the stay beyond mere luxury.”
