Ireland's stunning Ashford Castle, founded by the Anglo-Norman de Burgo family in 1228, is set on 350 acres on Lough Corrib

At the back of the castle, guests can explore well-manicured grounds and walk along the banks of rugged Lough Corrib



Ashford Castle's grounds are an oasis for hotel guests and for members of the public, who can pay a small fee to access them


The hotel offers a range of activities for guests and visitors, including fly fishing lessons



There are five treatment rooms, including a couple's room that has large windows with views of the grounds and Lough Corrib


After the hotel was purchased by Red Carnation Hotels, a spa and fitness centre were added to make Ashford Castle the ultimate retreat


After being pampered with treatments that use Voya organic seaweed beauty products, spa guests can retreat to a relaxation room
