Smarmore Castle was featured as one of the top 20 unforgettable castles in Ireland in last Saturday's edition of the Times Travel section (July 31st).
Smarmore came in at number eighteen in the listing compiled by the prestigious London newspaper. In the article Georgina Wilson wrote "you don't have to travel far to live like a king. Ireland is full of romantic places to stay." She went on "Smarmore Castle is in a county steeped in history, myths and legends. It is close to Slane Castle and Kells Heritage Centre, and with only five bedrooms it offers a more intimate experience. Built in 1320, the castle was owned by one family until the 1980s. Now a boutique hotel, it features an Italian restaurant, gym, pool, sauna, steam room and massage centre. There is no bar but guests may bring their own alcohol"
