CASTLE HOTEL COMBINING COMFORT WITH CHARACTER

A lovely old castle hotel which has been tastefully restored and so provides comfort with character. Friendly staff and great food. A fabulous property for a short, relaxing break.

This castle hotel FAR exceeded our expectations! The rooms were massive; the water pressure so strong; the food delicious; the grounds impeccable; the decor exquisite; and saving the best for last, the staff were amazing and went above and beyond. They had to be the friendliest, kindest, most helpful humans in all of Ireland! I HIGHLY recommend this stay!
