5. Ashford Castle, Ireland
Yet another medieval Irish castles, Ashford was construed in the 13th century (yes, it’s that old), and the Guinness clan were the owners at some point. Its rooms attract travelers seeking an ultra elegant experience, replete as they are with rich, vibrant colors, antique furniture and bold wallpapers.
Among other things, patrons swear by Ashford’s scenic setting and a range of recreational activities, including luxury spa treatments, horse riding, zip lining, golf and paddle-boarding.
