Here’s why…
1. Beautiful Setting
Carton House is simply breath-taking and manages to mix modern furnishings with traditional décor to create a simplistic but welcoming atmosphere. The deluxe suites overlook the picturesque grounds themselves which are something to behold and explore.

From massages to reflexology, Carton Spa caters to all your needs within relaxing surroundings. In other words, you won’t want to leave!
3. Great Sports Facilities
As well as two world class golf courses, there are two outdoor tennis courts and football pitches on site. Guests can also avail of the gymnasium (consisting of cardio machines along with a weights room) and 18-metre swimming pool.
4. Other Activities
If sports aren’t your thing, there are walking and cycling trails which cater for all fitness levels. Located behind the main house, Xtreme.ie provides another experience for team-building days (includes off-road driving and zip-lining).

6. Afternoon Tea
Whether you are just there for the day or staying for a weekend, Afternoon Tea is an absolute must with a range of sandwiches, miniature desserts and scones to satisfy your appetite (the desserts are divine and yes, we ate them ALL). If you want to make it extra special, there is also the option of champagne.
7. Accessibility
Carton House is located just outside the quaint town of Maynooth which has an array of restaurants and bars to keep you entertained. It is also less than half an hour away, by car that is, from Dublin which is an added bonus.
