Not a bad spot for a wedding.
A Dublin
hotel has won the prestigious award of best wedding venue in the whole of Europe at the World Travel Awards this year.
The Luttrellstown Castle Resort was up against some of the most beautiful venues around the continent, three from Italy and two from Greece, but went home with the title of Europe's Leading Luxury Wedding Resort for 2023.
Boasting a 15th Century Irish castle, the Luttrellstown Castle Resort is less than a half hour drive from Dublin city centre, hugging the Kildare border and offers weddings of all sizes in its beautiful surroundings.
