Upon having breakfast the 22nd of June, we had to leave this beautiful place. I walked around the grounds and took a few more photos while Gregg took care of the bill.
Since having breakfast there in Ireland each morning, I have changed my mind about what I like for this meal. I loved their Greek yogurt with granola. Also they had a different idea of meats and cheeses for breakfast. It was so nice to have something out of the ordinary.
I had french toast also. Who doesn't love french toast?
Gregg had some breakfast too. I'm sure it was good, I don't believe there was anything left when he was done.
This man with the grey hair in the corner was so annoying. He and his wife apparently frequented this hotel often and knew the staff. They would never just order from the menu and just couldn't share a newspaper, they had special requests (like avocado for their cat?) for every meal, ones that were just so stupid. Asking for items that the chef hadn't even heard of and they had to each have a newspaper. I wish I could have gotten a picture of the woman. I don't think she had ever brushed her hair. These two deserved each other.
I went across the hall from our room to take this picture. This nice little area had a hot tub and some chairs. I also went up on the roof of the castle while out there. I had no idea that the door would lock once I stepped out. So there I was, completely surrounded by castle walls. I did eventually find a way out through a crack where two walls didn't meet.
These next few pictures are just from walking around the halls inside the castle. Random sitting areas and drawing rooms.

All of the rooms in Dromoland Castle were just beautiful.
Why didn't they serve breakfast in this lovely area? What a waste!
Every picture of Dromoland is different, I think this is one of my favorites. 
Thought I'd share the story behind Dromoland Castle Hotel.
See the window open by the tree to the right? That was our room.
We loved the fact that they had to mention no tracksuits. Those things were everywhere in Ireland. And who folds their "trousers" inside their socks?
We had a delightful time at Dromoland. Next post is from back in Dublin for the evening before our hellish flight back to the US. Flying internationally is the only downside to vacationing. It is the pits.
I've really enjoyed all your pictures! It's such a beautiful place and you've done a great job capturing it with your camera. Loved the story about the crazy people that wouldn't share a newspaper...people like that drive me nuts!
