From €601 per person
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall holding a name card, or collects you from your Dublin City address. The operator tracks your flight and adjusts the pick-up time around your actual landing - and you get a full hour of complimentary waiting time at the airport, so there’s no rushing through baggage reclaim.
The transfer runs in a Mercedes Benz E220 Executive Class, fully licensed and insured under the Irish Government Transport Authority, with room for up to 3 passengers and their luggage. It’s a private vehicle throughout - just you and your group.
Markree Castle sits in Collooney, County Sligo, roughly two hours northwest of Dublin on the N4. The route is mostly motorway as far as Longford, then a straightforward run up through Roscommon and into Sligo - genuinely one of the nicer drives in the country once the fields open up past Carrick-on-Shannon.
Markree is Ireland’s oldest inhabited castle, and it’s been a hotel since the 1980s. The estate covers several hundred acres of parkland along the Unshin River, and the dining room is well regarded locally - worth booking a table for your first evening if you’re arriving for a special occasion.
Collooney is just a few minutes from Sligo town if you want to pick up anything on arrival - there’s a good farmers’ market in Sligo on Saturdays and the town centre has everything you’d need. The castle is close enough to use Sligo as a base for day trips without needing to drive far.
County Sligo is seriously good walking country. Knocknarea mountain, with the cairn of Queen Maeve on its summit, is a straight shot from Collooney and takes about two hours return. Strandhill beach is nearby too - a surfing village with a popular seaweed bath house that’s worth an afternoon even if the Atlantic swell isn’t your thing.
