Top 50 Family Suites 2023 

Nestled in the heart of the verdant Irish countryside near the banks of Lough Corrib, Ashford Castle promises a family vacation for all ages. The 800-year-old castle is as grand as they come, with its complex web of turrets, ancient coats of arms and battlements acting as an epic starting point for children’s famously imaginative minds. 

Despite the hotel’s grand appearance (both interior and exterior), it prides itself on catering to all generations. Ashford Castle’s top accommodation – The Reagan Presidential Suite which sits in the castle’s oldest wing and boasts an original fireplace and an antique four-poster bed – can be conjoined with neighboring rooms to become a fully private, three-bedroom wing. Beyond the room, young guests can embark on Ashford Castle’s comprehensive program of kids’ activities, from afternoon movie screenings and mini afternoon tea to outdoor pursuits. The experienced babysitters promise to be a big hit with the parents, too.
