When we first arrived at Ashford Castle we were greeted by the boat and transported to the Castle. Later we enjoyed a more extensive cruise of the lake and were provided with varied information and history of the castle, the lake and its surroundings. Patrick followed in the family footsteps having started as a lad and then taking over the business from his father. Well worth the journey.

Moment super sympa, il y a un extérieur et un intérieur sur le bateau ce qui est bien pratique en cas de pluie et de vent. Le capitaine était très sympa et les commentaires sont intéressants.
Le prix est un peu excessif néanmoins.
