Granted by Cromwell to one of his officers in 1663, Markree is now a hotel and is uniquely still in the hands of the original family.
Not sure about inclusion of the ironwork in this photo.
C & C welcome.

The interior is fabulous, as is the food.

Totally agree, Sean; it retains a wonderful ‘dignified grandeur’.
Thanks for looking.
