Carton House, one of Ireland's most magnificent country estates and home to the Duke of Leinster since 1739, has been converted into a luxury hotel. Situated on a 1,100 acre estate in Maynooth, County Kildare, the hotel is just fourteen miles from Dublin’s centre. Passionate restoration has brought Carton House up to date to meet the needs of today's guests and now old and new blend seamlessly together. Each hotel room has been beautifully designed with custom made king-size beds, armchairs and DVD and CD players. The hotel offers a luxurious Molton Brown spa, a leisure and fitness suite and of course two championship golf courses.
Carton House is the proud winner of European Golf Resort 2008 and boasts two championship golf courses. The Montgomerie course, winner of "Golf Worlds Best New Design of the Year 2004" is a serious test. Designed by Colin Montgomerie, it is a journey across sweeping fairways, cavernous bunkers and impeccable greens. The hotel is proud to have hosted the world’s finest golfers at the 2005 and 2006 Nissan Irish Opens. The O'Meara Course winds its leisurely way through acres of glorious pastures amongst the dappled shade of the ancient trees. An exquisite course that leaves you breathless with admiration and exhilaration throughout every one of its 7,006 yards.
