Cloghan Castle was originally built as an outpost fortification in the 12th century. The castle was last inhabited by Hugh deBurgo in the 15th century before falling into ruin. It wasn't until 1973 when the Burke family decided to buy the ruins and restore it to its former glory. In 1996 the castle was extended and reopened as a specialty accommodation offering not only a unique self catering opportunity but also a special venue for corporate and intimate affairs. The castle sleeps 14 in 7 double rooms (young children not allowed). There is a landing pad for a helicopter, facilities for outside entertaining, private grounds for exploring, and more.
