Castlemartyr Resort sits on a 220-acre estate in east Cork - a country house hotel built around the ruins of a 13th-century castle, set on its own grounds well outside the city. It’s about three hours from Dublin, and this private transfer handles the whole journey so you arrive relaxed rather than road-weary.
Your driver tracks your flight in real time and adjusts for delays or early landings without you having to worry about it. They’ll meet you with a name-board at arrivals at Dublin Airport, or pick you up from any door-to-door address in Dublin city. From there it’s a comfortable, direct run south to Cork.
The fleet includes the Mercedes S-Class, the seven-seat V-Class, and the Toyota Alphard. All drivers are licensed by the National Transport Authority (NTA) and fully insured. Pricing is fixed - what you see when you book is what you pay.
This is a private transfer - just your group in the vehicle. Infant seats are available on request. Service animals are welcome. The journey is suitable for all fitness levels. Public transport options are available near the pickup points.
Castlemartyr is in east Cork, about 30 kilometres east of Cork city, in a stretch of countryside that most visitors to Ireland never reach. The estate itself is built around the remains of a 13th-century castle and the walled garden dates to the 18th century. If you’re spending time there, the grounds reward a proper walk before you do anything else.
The three-hour journey from Dublin to Castlemartyr follows the M8 motorway south through Cashel and Fermoy - a straightforward, well-signed route. If you’re awake for it, the stretch south of Cashel gives you a view of the Rock of Cashel rising out of the Tipperary plain, which is one of those sights that catches people by surprise.
The vehicle options here are worth thinking about. The Mercedes S-Class is a four-seat saloon; the V-Class seats seven and gives everyone proper space for luggage and legroom on a longer run; the Toyota Alphard is a premium minivan alternative. If you’re travelling with several large bags after a long-haul flight, the V-Class is typically the most practical choice.
Wi-Fi and device chargers on board mean the journey is productive if you need it to be, or just comfortable if you don’t. After a long-haul flight, having a reliable charge before you arrive is something most people appreciate.
Castlemartyr is well-placed for exploring east Cork and west Waterford if you want to venture out during your stay. Midleton - home of the Jameson Distillery - is about 10 kilometres away, and the fishing village of Ballycotton is a short drive south. The resort itself can arrange activities and tours, but knowing what’s nearby means you can plan your own time too.
