Castlecoote House is a magnificent Georgian Palladian Mansion set in 10 acres of landscaped gardens overlooking the River Suck. The house and gardens have a fascinating history spanning five centuries. In 1616 the Castle was granted to Sir Charles Coote. Between 1690 & 1720 Casltecoote House was reconstructed from the castle ruins, converting the portal screen to a Palladian facade, retaining its asymmetric tower rooms in the North and East wings complete with musket chambers, stone flagged floors and dumb waiter in the lower ground floors which are still in used to this day. During the 18th century it passed into the ownership of John Gunning and was the childhood home of his notable daughters, the beautiful Gunning sisters, Elizabeth and Maria, later becoming the Duchess of Hamilton and Argyle and the Countess of Coventry.

Castlecoote House is a member of the Hidden Ireland and is open for dinner, bed & breakfast. Relax in some of the magnificent reception rooms with a selection of afternoon teas, or attend one of the musical evenings in the beautifully restored ballroom.
