No, it’s just a castle. The palace is a mile down the hill.

No! It's a castle, Sterling castle to be precise although I've never seen the fountain.

Maybe this one...

Helen’s Tower is hidden on the edge of a winding lane on a beautiful hillside in County Down. It is a 3 storey, stone tower with accommodation for two guests for that perfect romantic getaway.
