IrelandIts history and atmosphere and charm, friendly owner and staff, stunning location, fabulous rooms and a great breakfast
IrelandBreakfast was gorgeous , staff so friendly and super friendly dog called lassie
IrelandBreakfast was lovely. In the middle of the wild atlantic way so very close to baltimore, lough hyne etc so found it great and the hosts were very welcoming.
IrelandAmazing. The view from our room over the harbor was beyond beautiful. Our breakfast each day was prepared fresh and accommodated my wife’s GF (gluten free) requests. The small restaurant up the street was one of our favorite of the over 20 meals on our trip in Ireland. We loved the adventure to find this beautiful castle at the end of the road. We wish we could’ve stayed more than just three nights, but had to keep on moving. The grounds are lovely and we couldn’t have been treated better by our hosts. The dog, Lassie, was also VERY friendly and fun to interact with.
United States of AmericaWe had a wonderful night’s stay at the Castle in Castlehaven. The property was beautiful and clearly well loved as the castle has been in the family since the seventeenth century. The grounds are well kept and I can only imagine how beautiful the gardens are in the warmer seasons. Our room had a gorgeous view of the bay and it was sparkling clean (not even a speck of dust on the chair rail!). Breakfast was delicious, the staff was beyond amazing, and we had a delightful time playing with the property owner’s dog and walking the small town it was in. Do not doubt booking here!
United States of AmericaSuper nice facility, great charm, pleasant staff, peaceful, quiet, relaxing. Couldn’t ask for more!
IrelandThe castle is very well maintained. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was great. The land around the castle allows for nice peaceful hikes. We enjoyed it very much!
United States of AmericaThe Castle is unique & in a beautiful setting. The building itself is what it should be for a castle - old, charming & full of character. The grounds are amazing - 90 acres which include trails along the water & through woods. There are also beautiful plantings. The location, along an inlet off the Atlantic Ocean, is truly special. The owner & staff were very friendly & gracious & so helpful. The accommodations were very comfortable & breakfast delicious with large variety of fresh fruit & great cooked options as well.
