We enjoyed the sympathetic decor of this castle- made it feel very authentic and charming. Food and drinks were good as well.

Courtney Ireland

Breakfast was delicious! The pastries were wonderful and the apricots were a great addition. The room was spacious and bathroom was very large, as well. We also enjoyed getting to know the property's cat and horses.

Caitlin United States of America

Beautiful scenery and gorgeous food. Very friendly staff.

D'arcy Ireland

Relaxed atmosphere, good food, friendly staff, lovely location

Susan Australia

Gorgeous property, was exactly what we hoped for in a castle stay. The rooms looked like they came from medieval times with rough rock walls and hardwood floors. But then there was an element of luxury, like the bathrooms had a toilet that looked like a throne! We loved these rooms, the grounds, the castle, would definitely come back!

Arlene United States of America

Warm, welcoming environment. Aesthetically stunning. All staff so pleasant to chat to. Room was absolutely gorgeous. Breakfast was served until 10.30 so didn't have to rush up and it was a gorgeous meal. Cannot wait to go back

Paul United States of America

It was like a fairytale to stay here! We requested the medieval rooms and they were so cool. Our boys also took a horse ride through the surrounding forest and hills. Amazing. Also the staff was so very friendly.

Elizabeth United States of America

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! 👑

Sabrina United States of America
