Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby

Giles and Monica hop across to Ireland to scale the imposing ancient ramparts of Ashford Castle. Set in 350 acres, it was founded 800 years ago by the Anglo-Norman De Burgo family, and much later became the home of the Guinness family. With the help of hotel historian, Fintan, Giles discovers that the castle has had a roller coaster journey through the centuries.
