This is an exceptional and unique location in Ireland and was the highlight of our week long trip. The Castle itself is beautiful and historic and you feel like you are walking into a different era when you arrive, surrounded by history, The rooms are beautful, we stayed in a upper corner room with amazing views across the water and overall property. Everything was top-notch; the host Sharon was so nice and accommodating and the breakfast is wonderful in the morning. The gardens and property itself are beautify and you are situated right o the water. We hiked around the large proprty which included forests and a historic cross hidden amoungst the trees. I dont think you will be able to find another experience quite like this and cannot reccomend it highly enough, it far surpassed our expectations. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer!

Sharon and staff could not have done enough for us. It was my friend's birthday and she organised flowers, bubbly and cake which my friend loved. The castle itself is charming, full of amazing historic features. We stayed in the Navy room with a stunning view out over the bay. Breakfast was excellent, service was especially good with the friendly staff catering to all guests particular needs. After breakfast we strolled up to St Barrahane's Church, to view the incredible Harry Clarke stained-glass windows and visit the graves of Sommerville and Ross. Castletownshend is such a gem & we will be back!

I loved this whole experience she was very flexible to us checking in later as the roads were a little strange to people not from Ireland to get there. The bed was so comfortable, and you felt like royalty in the Archbishop room. The breakfast was so amazing your actually having tea on the family castle China which I think is so beautiful it was hands down the best place that we stayed during our entire trip!

It was a little hot however it was a castle so it was built to insulate! She provided a fan in the cabinet which helped with air flow while they were having a heat wave so really not a negative thing and she provided an alternative.

Favorite place we stayed at this trip! Such a cool and unique property. Loved the expansive lands it sat on that you are free to roam and see the ruins/castles along the river. The room (army room) was cool with its own terrace. Breakfast was delicious and I got to hang out with the family border collie. Also, the best pub was located just up the road, Mary Ann’s. We will definitely be coming back.

Nothing bad to say.

The Castle was beautiful, the location was exceptional, the grounds were stunning, the breakfast was delicious. It was truly a wonderful experience. We were able to take a beautiful walk around the grounds before breakfast and another one after breakfast. The grounds were so peaceful and the lake I could have sat all day at and enjoyed the beauty. Also were able to walk to dinner at a local pub.

My bed was a little hard but my friend says hers was very comfortable

We were made to feel so welcome and at ease. The whole experience from start to finish was so relaxed and friendly and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful, and the breakfast was out of this world literally the nicest breakfast we've ever had. The server for breakfast was so nice, as was our host. We can't wait to stay here again.

The Castle was so special and beautiful. The room was thoughtfully appointed with chargers, a blow dryer, even a makeup remover cloth. The propety is beautiful with walking trail all around it with tons to see. The furniture, decor, and rare, vintage books were spectacular to look at and admire. Sharon the host was helpful and lovely to deal with. The breakfast was out of this world. We would’ve paid €75 for the breakfast alone if we had stayed somewhere else. we will return and have already told many people on our next stop about this hidden gem.

Nothing.

Absolutely fabulous place in the picturesque location right next to the beach. The landlady is an exceptional host and did everything for us to feel welcome. You really feel like a princess in a fairytale. Delicious breakfast, wine fridge and very comfortable bed. We honestly enjoyed every second staying in the Castle.

WOW, what an unbelievable place, the room was better than fantastic, it was the nicest room ever. The views were great, the hostess was exceptional, the walk in the woods during a rain was spectacular. The breakfast was superb, the only thing wrong was we only had 1 night there, we could stay there for a week. There is a nice restaurant (Mary Anns) a very short walk away with great food and the owner was one of the nicest people we ever met, with tons of knowledge. I can't say enough good things about the stay & hostess/owner.

There is nothing to dislike about this place

Amazing castle feeling in a quiet, idyllic area right on a calm bay, with walking opportunities on the property Friendly staff, kind and attentive (especially at the breakfast) Modern bathroom (although a bit tight), the only one we have been where hot and cold water faucets are not separate, and high quality toiletries Excellent breakfast

Small bathroom Lack of electric sockets next to the bed
