    Be sure to check into the lovely Ballyliffin Townhouse if you're looking for the perfect base to explore the Wild Atlantic Way's County Donegal. Follow in the footsteps of those who teed off at Ballyliffin – host of the 2018 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open – and journey into the island's only fully walled city of Derry~Londonderry.

    Lough Eske Castle, County Donegal

    Lough Eske Castle, Lough Eske

    After a windswept walk along the Slieve League sea cliffs, there really is nothing like the warmth of a grand castle hotel, and with its tall turrets, opulent interiors and gorgeous bathrooms, Lough Eske Castle certainly fits the bill.

    This lavish, dog-friendly hotel is paved with gleaming marble floors and accented with an intricately carved oak staircase. After a morning of pampering in the hotel's spa, take in the quiet beauty of the surrounding area on the International Appalachian Trail, which passes right by the castle.
