Beautiful castle stay. The receptionist upgraded our room to a suite because it was available. I honestly felt like royalty staying in this castle. I really enjoyed the Library Bar. We had a wonderful time and will always remember this stay! 👑

Staying in a castle and the surroundings. Staying at the hotel is like walking into history. Very unique. Love the old castle shape arch doors. Incredible staff.

Wozza Ireland

The staff were extremely kind and courteous. This castle hotel was the perfect mix of old castle feel and luxury hotel. They, also, have live music Friday to Sunday evenings.

This is not a franchise experience! The unique setting and Castle experience is worth the drive. All rooms have their own character and the staff are above board on service and hospitality.

John United States of America

What an experience! The grounds of the castle are not to be missed. Every room is unique and we got a tour of the other open rooms while we were there. It’s really a beautiful castle and the way it has been converted into guest rooms is unique and delightful. And not to mention the giant bathrooms with giant claw foot tubs! This was a very nice stay and we enjoyed our time here. We would stay again or recommend it to others.

Alicia United States of America

Dungeon bar entertainment. Very comfortable beds. Very friendly staff.

Sheila United States of America

All of the staff were very helpful and pleasant!!!

Sandra United States of America

The castle is as beautiful and friendly as you could hope for. The grounds are worth a hike. The bar is full of chatty patrons and the breakfast is Irish excellent. All the rooms. which sprawl around the castle seem elegant and not overly modernized.

Tim United States of America

For a 25th anniversary gift to my wife, I took her to Ireland and we stayed here. She said it was like a fairy tale come true! When we walked into our suite she had tears in her eyes. You guys knocked it out of the park! WE WILL BE STAYING HERE AGAIN!!! The staff, the food, the history, the facilities, everything about this place was top notch. It was the highlight of our trip. Thank you for an amazing time!

    The Castle has a lot of stairs and no lifts. The best accessible room would be the Lower Abbey Rooms, which can be accessed from our courtyard. For dining options, there would be stairs to the Dungeon Bar from these rooms. Kind Regards,
