Hotel

Kilronan Castle

We can’t wait to celebrate with you at Kilronan Castle! We’ve reserved rooms at Kilronan for our wedding guests on Saturday night, and we’ll be covering accommodation for that evening. For those who’d like to make a weekend of it, you can of course book directly with the castle for Friday and/or Sunday night. If you call or send an email to book additional nights, the castle will do their best to keep you in the same room throughout your stay, where possible. For the Saturday evening, we’ve arranged rooms with families and couples together, and where we know you’re travelling with a close friend or relative, we’ve placed you together where possible. There are also a number of self-catering houses on the estate, which we’ve allocated to families with children and larger groups travelling together. If you have any questions or concerns about your accommodation, please let us know and we’ll be happy to help! If you know that you won’t be staying overnight at the castle on Saturday, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can release the room.

Flight

Airport Options

Dublin Airport We would recommend flying into Dublin Airport - the best-connected option, especially for UK and US travellers. The airport is approximately a 2.5 hours' drive from Kilronan Castle (mainly motorway & primary roads). Dublin airport will have the widest selection of car hire locations as well as access to public transport alternatives. Alternative airports are: Ireland West Airport (Knock) This is the closest option to Kilronan Castle for travellers from the UK, around 1 hour drive though note the drive is almost entirely down narrower country roads. Shannon Airport A good alternative for US guests with several direct transatlantic routes, around 2.5 hours' drive.

Rental Car

Rental Car Options

Renting a car is likely the most convenient option to get to the castle with car hire available at all three airports: Dublin Airport: Widest choice of rental companies and vehicle types; desks are in the arrivals area of both terminals. https://www.dublinairport.com/to-from-the-airport/car-rental Shannon Airport: Rental desks in the arrivals hall; a convenient pickup point for US guests flying direct. https://www.shannonairport.ie/car-rental-at-shannon Knock Airport: smaller selection, so best to book ahead https://www.irelandwestairport.com/getting-to-from/car-hire/ Many car rental options in Ireland are manual cars so please be sure to check before booking. We would also highly recommend checking to see if your credit card or insurance carrier covers rentals in Ireland to avoid extra fees.

Public Transport

For guests who'd rather not drive, there are train and bus options into the region, with the option to then take a taxi to the castle: Train: Irish Rail runs from Dublin Connolly Station to Carrick-on-Shannon, on the Dublin–Sligo line, about a 20-minute taxi ride from the castle.
