“We got to spend a night in a real Irish castle!”
+Everything. Our room felt like and looked like a modern, hotel room suite. But looking outside in the halls and chapel, and walking outside, you felt like you were back in the 1600’s. And all the animals were very friendly and photogenic. It felt like it was our own private castle for a day.

“Friendly, warm, comfortable - perfect!”
+Comfortable, great amenities while also staying in a castle! Also we had personal animal escort us around the property which added to the charm and experience. Our host, Louise, had the most wonderful recommendations and even booked us a table at an amazing restaurant!
−Nothing we didn’t like!

“Beautiful castle stay!”
+Such a stunning end to our Ireland road trip. A beautiful castle in a really great location just 20mins from Cork Airport. We enjoyed meeting Louise and her family, including the dogs and cats! We will be back!

“A gem on the outskirts of Cork.”
+Louise and her Castle/farm is an absolute gem. Louise was super friendly and helpful, room was large and comfortable. We learnt some history of the castle, got great travel tips for our onward journey, amazing dinner and bar recommendations, warm flaky croissants for breakfast as well as being about to walk around the farm and meet the animals 🥰. What more could you want?
