Giles Coren and Monica Galetti work in Ashford Castle, Co Mayo. Set in 350 acres, it was founded 800 years ago by the Anglo-Norman De Burgo family, and much later became the family home of the Guinness family. With the help of hotel historian, Fintan, Giles discovers that the castle has had a rollercoaster journey through the centuries, sporadically reaching moments of real jeopardy, only to be saved by a turn of events or new owners. Giles and Monica soon learn that the secret of the castle's success is the people who work here and the hotel's strong, long-running community ties
