Markree Castle

30 Rooms

Markree Castle is located just outside the village of Collooney, Co. Sligo in the beautiful northwest of Ireland. South of Donegal and north of Galway, the area boasts magnificent shorelines, breathtaking lakes and rivers, impressive mountains, and beautiful woodlands.

For 350 years the Cooper family have been living in this mighty castle in county Sligo in Ireland, which is quite unique.

All rooms have en-suite bathrooms, direct dial telephone, hairdryer, television, individually controlled heating and beverage making facilities. Markree Castle is an ideal base.
