Did you know I'm Irish by marriage? Yeah, I know.. taking the last name "Dunn" doesn't an Irish girl make. But my husband's mom, dad and brother (who are Irish) are in Ireland right now and oh how I wish we were there with them!
So instead, I'll share this Irish castle turned hotel, and let's dream shall we? It's called the Gregan's Castle Hotel in Burren.
It'd be hard to make the inside look as beautiful as the outside, but the folks at Gregan's Castle succeeded.
Doesn't it look straight out of a magazine? The decorating in this hotel is spot on. The Domino book-like wallpaper.. the upholstered headboards.. the lacquered fireplace. And that dining room!
I can just imagine sipping my coffee with a good book in the gardens.. And speaking of gardens, check out these cute guys that live there:
Okay, back to reality!

Bryn,
ReplyDeleteI have probably been reading your blog for about a year, but felt compelled to comment for the first time today as I live in Ireland!
You definitely need to make a trip over :-)
LOVE love Love your blog and I have also found some many other blogs to love through your blog roll.
Beautiful! Thank you so much for posting this - my husband and both of our sets of parents are going to this area in October - Doolin specifically! I will definitely consider staying here, at least for one night!
ReplyDeleteBryn, I have been to Ireland [20 years ago] and I loved it! It is beautiful and the people who live there are so full of life. I know you wish you were there...Sherry
ReplyDeleteI spent a year living in various in the UK and Ireland. Beautiful! Worth the trip...
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better though there is a reason its so green!
I love dreams like this- they are the best kind. You will make it reality someday, I just know it :)

ReplyDeleteThis place looks amazing! I love how all the rooms look entirely different - none of them have that hotel feel - great find!
ReplyDeleteHey sweetie, yeah the reason Ireland is 10 shades of green is because in August it is like an L.A. January!! Wow, I should have brought more warm clothes this time. We did the Burren area last visit here, but, you know, we do the B &B's because it is less €. We will have to do a fa mily trip in 2 years.
ReplyDeletethese are absolutely beautiful. I'm half Irish and my mom went before she married me dad. I'd love to go over there some time
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics. I esp like the room with the green floral wallpaper & massive wood bed. And the donkey. :)
ReplyDeleteoh my, when can I move in :)
ReplyDeleteUmm my husband's life long wish is to visit the Guinness brewery in Ireland and play golf there too... I'd totally be on board to stay in a place like this!! LOVELY!!!
