Welcome the New Year in timeless style at Quintin Castle, an exclusive coastal retreat where history, elegance, and the wild beauty of the Irish Sea come together.
Poised above the rugged shoreline with sweeping views across the Irish Sea, Quintin Castle has watched over the County Down coast for more than 800 years. Encircled by historic ramparts and framed by elegant gardens, woodlands and open countryside, it offers a truly timeless and tranquil retreat.
Built in 1184 by the Anglo-Norman knight John de Courcey and lovingly restored in the 19th century, Quintin Castle remains one of the few privately occupied Anglo-Norman castles in Ireland. Today, it offers guests the rare opportunity to experience history and luxury in perfect harmony.

Step into a New Year's celebration like no other. With exclusive use of the castle and its grounds, guests can enjoy complete privacy and comfort.
The castle features 10 individually designed en-suite bedrooms, accommodating up to 24 guests, making it ideal for a memorable gathering with family and friends.
Spend your days exploring the estate and surrounding countryside, stroll along the private beach, breathe in the crisp coastal air, or venture to nearby Strangford Lough to admire its serene winter landscapes and abundant wildlife. As evening falls, gather in the grand reception rooms to toast the year ahead in true style.
What it Costs...
Quintin Castle is available for a minimum three-night stay, priced at £7,500 per night, on a self-catering (vacation-rental) basis.
Tailored catering packages can be arranged upon request at an additional cost, ensuring your celebrations are as seamless and indulgent as you wish.
