我们受到“您的皇家婚礼公司”的邀请抵达爱尔兰访问。我们受邀夫妇两人像皇家成员一样在城堡里度假。该公司会安排新婚夫妇在这里举行婚礼,并度蜜月。因此,我们两人就在此重度蜜月了。
这个城堡的主人是欧洲著名的家族。因此,和其它城堡以及旅馆不一样的是,未经许可是不得随意进出这片硕大的私人庄园,占地面积达6.5平方公里。因此,十分严密地保护了这里居民的个人隐私。
每年这个城堡的租期仅为六周,其它的时候由城堡的主人居住。
该城堡就树立在欧洲最大的私人湖泊的岸边。
宾客们可以驾一叶小舟泛舟美丽的湖面或在湖心垂钓。湖的周围有许多溪流,但从城堡厨房的窗口望去,有的已经干枯。但庞大的湖面依然使我印象深刻。
这个城堡始建于1811年,设计师为约翰·纳什(John Nash),位列诸如白金汉宫、特拉法尔加广场建筑群等著名设计之列。著名的诗人和剧作家威廉姆·布特勒·叶芝在1927年访问此地后说:“保留此城堡,就是保留了美丽”。
庄园的周边有好几道围墙,主要的大门有保安保护。
穿过大门后就是长达2公里的通向城堡的通道,就会有进入梦幻世界一样的感觉。
路边庄园林地里的树木大多数种植于18世纪,当时主要为便于打猎而种植的。春秋两季(九月和二月)受到邀请的客人可以参加皇家狩猎,猎取雉鸡、野鸭或梅花鹿。
城堡并不只是建在森林中央的一栋石头老屋,城堡是由一组建筑物构成的一个建筑群,包括花园农场、鸡舍、谷仓、畜舍及宾客居住的别墅,供仆役及工人居住的小屋以及许许多多个各种各样的建筑。这里最大的优点是,每日早餐桌上都有最新鲜的鸡蛋和刚采摘的绿叶蔬菜。。
鸡舍里还饲养着好多公鸡和母鸡,因此,城堡里每天均有新鲜的鸡蛋和鸡肉供应。
庄园里还养着好几匹赛马,这些都是参加赛马比赛的选手。
这里还专门养着共打猎用的雉鸡。每年在狩猎的季节会释放出750只雉鸡共打猎用,这里共饲养着15,000-20,000只雉鸡。
庄员里的狩猎季节只有16天,可以狩猎雉鸡和野鸭。射得的猎物在商店或餐馆出售。
在饲养场里雉鸡的鼻子上套上了特殊的眼镜,使它们看不到正面的敌人,只能看到两侧,这样雄的雉鸡就不会发生打斗。.
城堡里还生活有三条狗,包括这条漂亮的日内瓦种的“大丹”。“Great Dane”一种名犬。我太太带着这条“大丹”遛狗,有多高兴。
这是城堡里通向别墅的道路,如果有客人来可以住在这些别墅里。
因此住在这里我们可以感觉到象城堡的贵宾一样。Oksana Flanagan 热情地接待我们就像是她刚刚到达的宾客一样。到达客房之后立即送上一瓶唐培里侬香槟王(Dom Perignon)和一盒美味的巧克力酥心糖(松露巧克力)。
我们被请到主卧室,这里是新郎新娘或城堡的贵宾住的房间。我们住在这里简直有了当皇上或总统的感觉。
清晨醒来,在床上享用了一顿典型的爱尔兰时的早餐。
这里是举办豪华婚礼的好地方,假如您想享受您一生最幸福和私密的时光。我们在此居住的时分正好没有婚礼举行,这就是没有拍到新婚夫妇照片的缘故。
庄园里正在拍摄一部好莱坞巨片,正好有婚礼的场面。
有100位专业人士来准备这场豪华的婚礼,整场婚礼贯穿一个星期,
大约有1500个工作小时的工作量。
城堡里到处是拍摄婚礼照片的好景色。
这里是婚宴大厅,可以容纳大约100位宾客。
如果是好天气,这里还可以安排鸡尾酒会。
宴会后还可以安排爱尔兰民间舞会(大河舞,Riverdance),由专业的大河舞舞者与您共舞。
明天我会向您展示最有趣的部分,城堡大墙后面还隐藏些什么。

介绍的是城堡内豪华的装饰和布置。
The Irish castle, where we spent last weekend, first floor non-residential and the rest settled 8 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, where they can live comfortably 16 people. Another 14 people can stay in cottages at 50 meters from the castle.
It is a residential, family-run Castle (a private residence rather than a hotel), and here the museum environment adjacent to the living rooms sons of owners, who decorate their room half-naked photos of ex-girlfriends.
Depending on the time, the castle serves 10 to 15 people. Some live in rooms inside the castle, but most of them come into the lock to work.
Under cut what is hidden behind the thick walls of the castle:
Have you ever wondered how to look doorbell in a castle? It was an old, deeply fail button with a nice melodic ring tone:
In the lobby guests with a fireplace with black Moors on the sides. Во During weddings and celebrations here dance team members Riverdance:
In this room taste the whiskey or communicate with each other by the fireplace:
The castle is very much hidden doors. Take a closer look carefully and you will see the door in the wall:
All the free surface in a castle made to photographs, statuettes, vases, plates, boxes and other gizmos. Feelings of emptiness here just does not arise:
The main reception room. During weddings here endure all the furniture and place tables:
Otherwise, guests can celebrate in the heat of the accident to spoil a truly unique things. For example, those white sofas 17 th century. did not dare sit on them.
The sensation was unusual. These things and furniture I had could only see in museums for the protective tape and a stern look janitor, but here they stand quietly in a "flat", they can sit, lie down, read a book ...
Dining room for receptions. At this table sat a lot of famous people:
11. 11.
According to the rules of etiquette for a dinner my husband can not sit next to his wife, so we sat on opposite sides of the table. This is done to ensure that spouses are not addicted to gossip with each other and chatted with other guests:
Charming hostess of the castle itself is cooked and served us dinner:
I chose a gentle lamb with mint sauce, new potatoes from the local garden and stewed tomatoes:
For dessert we were served bananas, baked with brandy and cream:
The second floor has a huge spiral staircase:
Hall, second floor:
Oksana Flanagan, CEO of Your Royal Wedding , organizing a wedding here, recently began to create a library for Russian-speaking guests. In one of the cabinets have found two books Ларисы Тепляковой : Larissa Teplyakova :
I used to dream of such a telescope on your desktop:
Room youngest son owners of the castle. On the walls of photographs of his previous girls. Some very candid:
Near the bed is warmer. Heat huge castle is very expensive, so not all the rooms are always warm. It seems to me that this warmer - a very nice touch to the portrait of the castle and its owners:
The castle all at home.If you prefer the stiffness of the Ritz, then this lock is definitely not for you. Here, everything looks like a normal house British aristocrats, their way of life and interests: horseback riding, hunting, art, bicycling:
Room eldest son:
Our room, where we stayed until the political leaders and Hollywood celebrities:
When we entered the room, I thought: "Where is the bathroom?" She was even for a secret door:
The view from the windows bath the largest private lake in Europe:
I really liked the window with a blue jug in:
Wi-Fi signal through them, almost no breaks, and the owners had to install repeaters almost every room:
This round room occupies the entire second floor of one of the towers:
埃及是的卧室。
Egyptian bathroom:
Throne room : This room is called the Throne room for the toilet, like a throne (next photo):
And this is the original toilet that I've ever seen. Stairs lead up to the attic, which had long been overgrown with cobwebs and is not used. Прямо Directly into her toilet made for rooms at the top of a narrow tower:
Ladder to the roof:
古堡顶楼上风景十分美丽,据说不同季节有不同的风光。
Scenic view from the roof of the castle looks different depending on the weather:
This concludes my story about a trip to Ireland is complete. Next week I'm going to Peter on the trophy-raid around Lake Ladoga.
