Great location! Not far from Galway city center! Room was incredibly spacious and elegant! The bed was so comfortable, too! The property was very neat as well!

The shower needed a door to hold the spray from the shower in as it got the floor quite wet.Also would have been better if there was to set your makeup onin the bathroom .

Wonderful breakfast. Great coffee and tea. The stream behind the castle was enchanting to sit by and drink wine! Very friendly people!!

Fantastic location, very cool to be able to walk around the tower. Great location for visiting Galway city, only a short drive into town. We were warmly welcomed, breakfast was nice and checkout was easy! Would highly recommend.

You ideally need a car rental for this location.

Beautiful boutique hotel

Nothing. My husbands like a cooked breakfast, but he certainly wasn't complaining.

This place is brilliant. Slightly other-worldly. It's a real experience in the proper sense of the word, because you're in a castle. A castle! Would you believe they offered us a choice of rooms because, "They felt a bit bad that our room was small." Who does that?! That's class. Staff lovely, especially Johnny. Breakfast delicious (not a cooked one, but a very good continental one). Place gorgeous; lovely situation and grounds. Rooms fab. And even though it was a castle, with lots of lovely furnishings, artefacts and specialised design, we didn't feel at all awkward bringing our 3-year-old. There were other children staying there too, and we were all welcomed. Highly recommend this place.

Loved the room. Great location for a property (if you have a rental car). Staff was great and the breakfast was wonderful, especially the croissants!

It was a really nice modern room in an old castle. Excellent continental breakfast. John the host was excellent and super helpful.

Amazing restoration of a series of fabulous historical buildings. A superb place to stay with extremely friendly hosts and it is very well placed for exploring a fascinating area.

It’s farther from Galway town than I understood when booking - not a criticism of the place, just something visitors should understand. Having a rental car would give you maximum flexibility in getting around, seeing broader area.

Our room was gorgeous and spacious (Salmon room) with a beautiful view of river and castle.

A hot breakfast would have been nice. But it was easy enough to wonder around the grounds, pat the dog, scratch the cat, chat with whoever is around, until the feeling passed.

Clean, spacious, well maintained rooms. Friendly staff with complimentary visits from Ruby and Elizabeth. Very nice place to stay.

Best castle stay. The room was expertly decorated yet didn't feel too uppity. The whole place had a homey vibe. We stayed in the Abbey room (which I highly recommend). We had a great view of the Tower and the Abbey across the street. It was awesome to be able to go into the Tower on our time and explore. You can also go the Abbey across the street for free. It does have a closing time. The gentlemen who checked us in was great (sorry, I don't rememb.er his name). Nice breakfast room and continental breakfast. Highly recommend!! And don't forget to pet, Elizabeth, the castle cat.

Exterior lighting could light up room interiors overnight, disturbing sleep

Historic atmosphere, spaciousness, vehicle security

My only regret is that we didn't book a longer stay here! The bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept on, including my own, and the pillows were comfy too (and this is coming from someone who has autism and likes to stick with her own things typically lol). The floor heating is AMAZING, our room was the perfect temperature, all the amenities were great here, the breakfast with lattes made by the staff was the little cherry on top! The host was a really sweet, and helpful person! They've put in work to restore the castle and it's truly wonderful to see how far it's come (they have little booklets showing it from before, with it's story!) the tower itself was fairytale-like in all of the ways, we got to go inside and take a look around and that was magical, we didn't sleep in the tower though we might if we ever make it back!

Great old castle with a lovely Manor House tastefully decorated and a great touch with a nice bottle of Crianza 😊

Just wish I had booked for longer!

Fantastic property, which left me in complete awe! Hosts were fantastic and they couldn’t do enough.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The caretakers were so friendly and the property was exceptional! We even had warm baked scones, fresh squeezed orange juice, and tea at breakfast. It has been beautifully restored. Walking through the castle tower was also really cool. We ended up doing a self-guided tour for most of it which was really cool! Really appreciated how the owner uses antique furniture, some of it more than 200+ years old throughout the property. Definitely felt like we went back in time! We had a wonderful view of the castle from our suite. The clawfoot tub was also wonderful. My wife plays harp, and we both didn't realize until we were there that the famous Brian Boru harp was once housed here. Highly recommend booking here!

There was nothing we didn’t like

Everything. The room was excellent with wonderful views. The breakfast each morning had much to choose from and was in a cozy spot with a fire place
