Stunning setting for my sister's wedding. However I did find my room too warm and basics like tea, coffee and water were not available in the rooms.
A nice castle turned to hotel. Our room was fine. No TV which was no issue. Only issue was paper thin walls that you can hear people speak ect.
A pint is between €1-€2 more expensive than most other bars.
Was with a wedding party so was a discount.but at full price I would be a little disappointed with the room in regards with the walls. No view from the window
A nice escape.
Delightful lovely food and brilliant service. Felt like a queen. A must visit !
Enjoyed an amazing afternoon tea here. One of the best interiors and atmospheres I've ever experienced for Afternoon Tea. Can't wait to return!
We booked here as my best friend was getting married at the castle. The building itself is beautiful. The venue for the service was amazing. We had a discounted rate as we were part if the wedding party. This was literally just bed and breakfast. There were no facilities to make your own tea or coffee in the room you had to go down to the restaurant for this. There was no TV. I had to sit in the bath to have a shower. No bathrobes provided. There was a bottle of water in the room (could have just been tap water) with a note to say that the bottles were not complimentary some of us took this to mean that neither was the water wording could have been clearer. Breakfast was not that great. We had also stayed at the Shannon Harbour Masters House B&B and for 2 nights it was the same price as 1 night at the castle, and their breakfast was better!! I think you are just paying for the name of the castle.
Loved it. So did my 6 year old - a real castle. Room was very comfortable (small, with thick walls, as you'd expect in a castle, but that is no criticism). Ate in The Dungeon Bar and the food was excellent. I had catch of the day (hake). The flavours were great..far more than I'd expect for bar food. Totally recommend the place. Really nice walks around the estate too.
Beautiful Castle and wonderful staff. My displeasure was in the severe lack of amenities like TV, Air Conditioning and WiFi that works beyond the front desk area. My wife have stayed at several castles across England, Scotland and Ireland - each and every one of them had these amenities. The reason we were told that there was lack of them was "we want you to experience true castle living". This excuse was a main reason why we will not return anytime soon. Not to mention, the stay itself was the most expensive during our 2 weeks in Ireland and we only stayed one night where as other stays were 2 + days.
Went here to eat in the Dungeon Bar. The food was tastey and I loved the atmosphere and quirky layout. After food we went for a nice walk around the haunted grounds and took in the scenery. Highly recommend this place. Hopefully we will see some ghosts next time :)
I attended a wedding here and it was just fantastic! The hotel were great and couldn't do enough! Solid location too which is great!
Amazing location, superb food (dungeon bar), very nice staff. Highly recommended
Great spot, great service. GM there most helpful.
Loved staying here. It's quirky as good castle hotels usually are. Comfy beds, homely rooms, perfect breakfast. Not much to the grounds, but people do not come here for the grounds. There are either here for weddings or as a comfortable base to explore the nearby Slieve Bloom adventure trails and nature walks.
