    Nothing comes to mind.

    All of the staff were welcoming and helpful. Rooms were comfortable with all that we needed. The whole place oozed history! The location is second to none. A real find. Despite its remote location the local restaurant Mary Anns served lovely food.

    The bathroom door does not close all the way over or lock. Even as a couple some more privacy would be nice.

    Really friendly host and very easy check in process. The castle was completely stunning and full of rich history. Clean and spacious rooms with extremely comfortable beds and a delicious breakfast of high quality ingredients!

    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.

    The Castle is one of the most unique and beutiful vacation locations I have experienced!

    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!

    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.

    Difficult to access. Not made clear that guests were residents so it was hard to understand entry.

    Lovely property & grounds. The tree growing in the middle of the road on the approach was very unique.

    Nothing bad to say.

    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.
