The Thornhill Suite is also on the first floor and is a three bedroom apartment, one bedroom en-suite. Perfect for family or group holidays. Situated on the banks of the Boro River, in the heart of County Wexford, Wilton Castle is surrounded by open parkland and quiet wooded countryside. A part of the local landscape since 1247, when the first fortified tower was built on the land, Wilton Castle has a long tradition of hospitality. The grounds were open to the public in the 1800s, which prompted one observer in 1852 to write that ‘not only are strangers permitted to walk over the grounds but even their horses are cared for’. Although visitors now come to Wilton Castle by car.,This beautiful castle with its soaring chimney stacks and turreted towers, once again opens its doors. Wilton Castle has been lovingly restored from ruin by its present owner and can now be enjoyed as a private self hire venue, ideal for holidays, weddings and those special occasions. Wilton Castle has four suites which are available as self-catering or on a Bed & Breakfast basis. Decorated and furnished with a timeless appeal, each suite has its own kitchen and sitting room with working fireplace. Named after four families who have resided at Wilton over the years, the Butler Suite, Furlong suite, Alcock Suite and the Thornhill Suite are finished to a very high standard with delicate wallpaper, dark wooden floorboards and heritage colours throughout.
