About Durrow (Laois)

Durrow sits right on the N8 between Dublin and Cork, making it a handy stop about 80 kilometres from the capital.

There's about 9 fast chargers for electric cars, which is grand for long journeys. The real draw here is Castle Durrow, a gorgeous 18th-century Palladian mansion that's been converted into a luxury hotel, still showing off its original plasterwork and period furniture.
