“Following the war, the Achesons sold the Castle to the Ministry of Agriculture who established the 590-acre demesne as Gosford Forest Park which was later designated Northern Ireland’s first conservation forest in 1986."

"The castle fell back into military use during The Troubles before being run as a hotel from 1983.”

“The restoration was undertaken by artisans and craftsmen with a focus on retaining the character and historic integrity of the castle. Particular care was taken to use existing features such as staircases and vaulted ceilings and even to use original color schemes wherever possible.”

The castle is divided into six luxury apartments: “These apartments are extremely popular and command great interest when they are placed on the market.”
