Castle Durrow :-
Castle Durrow, now one of Ireland's most luxurious Irish Country House Hotels is situated in the village of Durrow, Co Laois, an hour or so from Dublin on the N8 Dublin-Cork road. Built by Capt. William Flower (later to become Viscount Ashbrook) in 1716 as his family home in the Midlands of Ireland, its pre Palladian design and formal gardens were the height of fashion in their day and the grey / blue cut stone contrasts with the breathtaking views of the landscape.
