Markree Castle in Sligo, County Sligo, Ireland | Hotel

FOR 350 YEARS, the Cooper family have been living in this mighty castle in county Sligo in Ireland, which is quite unique.
The Castle lies in the romantic landscape where the poet Yeats found his inspiration, north of awe-inspiring Connemara and south of the beautiful Donegal coast, with the impressive cliffs of Bunglass and Magho.
The tale of Markree Castle is a wonderful journey through time. Take a look at our web site and see what this spectacular place can offer you.
The entrance contains a monumental staircase, which leads to a wonderful hall, from where a second staircase in carved wood leads to the guestrooms. On the landing, a huge stained glass window depicts the family tree of the Coopers.
The dining room is a masterpiece of Roccoco plasterwork and the cuisine is highly praised by those in the know. The spacious rooms, with all modern comforts, look out over the river Unsin which flows near the Castle walls, and the beautiful gardens or parkland with its wealth of wildlife including fallow deer, red squirrels, otters and kingfishers.
