Ashford Castle Hotel & Country Estate was included in this year’s One-of-A-Kind list, a round-up of destinations that exceed even the most luxurious hotels, as the only Irish entry in the list. The impressive hotel in Cong, Co Mayo made the list at no. 12, winning praise for its “stately canopy beds, manicured grounds, and slew of regal activities (think: falconry, archery)”.<\/p>\n
