Absolutely loved our stay at the Castle. The castle is beautiful and the 180 acres are immaculately kept. Breakfast is served in the gorgeous drawing room. Our room was very nice with a separate seating lounge area. The bar area was pretty and lots of fun. Highly recommend.

What an amazing place. We stayed one night on the way to Dublin. The castle was built in 1189 and has obviously been renovated in the last few years. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful and the grounds are beautiful. We had dinner in the evening and breakfast the next morning - both very good. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Food was excellent. Service was great. Only thing, we thought we would be staying in the castle, but we stayed in a room off the courtyard.
