Situated in the university town of Maynooth, County Kildare, Carton House is a luxury Irish resort. Over 1,100 acres of sweeping parkland, ancient woodlands and the meandering River Rye, create the perfect backdrop for this awe-inspiring country mansion. Once the ancestral home of the Earls of Kildare and the Dukes of Leinster, this walled garden golfing estate is located just 25 minutes from Dublin International Airport.

Luxurious accommodation, opulent and relaxing surroundings and our welcoming colleagues will ensure this is ensured. A vast array of guest bedroom types are available to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible, whatever your requirements.
