Castle holiday rentals in Connacht

Imagine the perfect host and multiply it with 10: That's Anna! Not only, that she picked us up by car, because it was heavily raining, to show us the appartement by herself. She also answered messages within minutes and provides us with laundry detergent in the blink of an eye. Also she recommended us a great pub in Bunratty to go to in the evening. So sum it up: Just perfect! Thank you very much. We will surely come back!

Pete is a very special man, and accordingly, Pete's Castle is an extremely special place. If you are looking for your standard hotel room, keep looking. But if you are looking for a fun and funky experience in a restored Norman castle tower, this is it. Pete has lovingly restored his castle stone by stone, and there is some new and interesting feature everywhere you look. Pete - and his partner Eva, who is also a very lovely woman - care about their guests as well, and take care to make every person feel welcome and invited. This was our second time staying here, and I know that we will definitely be back again.

Chris & Orla were warm and welcoming. Their home was beautifully restored, and they had great taste in decor and art. We loved visiting with their friendly dogs: Bird & Pete. Breakfast was so delicious, and fueled us for our adventures. The place was easy to find and nice and quiet. The location was a short easy drive from Galway City. We truly enjoyed our stay, and hope to return some day!

Connie was absolutely wonderful from the day we booked. She answered all of our questions and had excellent suggestions for catering and other services we would need. She helped us get acquainted with the house when we arrived and brought a lovely basket of treats to help us settle in. Any issues we had in her centuries old home were quickly addressed and remedied or explained. Connie is a lovely woman and welcome in our home anytime. The home is spacious and full of character. We had many guests from many places, so spending time together and being able to take day trips was important. The grounds are well maintained and we had a lot of fun feeding the ponies and mule. The folly, where we held our handfasting, was perfect. We also met so many wonderful people in the little town of Ballycumber. The pubs were a lot of fun and we were happy to support the little grocery store for most needs. This was a great experience for all of us. We are so happy we chose Ballycumber House.

Alan described it just well. Gregg was exactly what I thought it would be. We chose this stay because of the charm that we knew it would offer. Thank you again Alan and I wish you the best in your next venture. Hopefully we are able to return when everything has transitioned. Will be amazing to see it.

Alan's place is accurately described. It is a work in progress in some areas but it was still well worth the stay. The castle is quite unique, and Alan was extremely friendly.

Absolutely the best experience ever! Centrally located for all the things we wanted to go see. plenty of room for our large family, and we stayed in a CASTLE!!! The whole family agreed that this Airbnb made our vacation, and packing up and leaving was sad because we wasn't ready for it to end. Mary furnished us with everything we could possibly need, and then some. Totally worth every penny, and I can't recommend it high enough!

Wow. The most unique place we’ve ever stayed in. Definitely the highlight of our trip. The place itself: dusty, dank, spidery, tricky stairs, odd layout, weird headroom. In other words, a perfect “castle” experience. The history of the property is evident and fascinating. The owners have done a thoughtful “conservation” of the original 15th century structure. And it was great to be away from the touristy places, in rural Ireland, with mostly locals, small towns and villages, and gorgeous rolling countryside. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authenticity.

Lovely castle and room. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Don't skip the castle tour after breakfast. Mike was rightly proud of his work restoring the castle, and gave a phenomenal tour.

This location was exactly what i had hoped for. It is truly as serene and private as they describe, while being just a short drive to entertainment in Galway. The hosts were very nice, felt as though we were treated as family upon arrival

The castle was a unique and enjoyable family experience! Jade was so helpful and informative during our stay! Many memories will be carried back to the USA and Poland from Smithstown Castle as our family met up in Ireland! Thanks for a wonderful time!

Excellent stay with excellent and attentive hosts. Very friendly, informative, helpful in providing recommendations. Also Elizabeth was the best cat!

Lovely stay in this unique and quirky mini castle. Very private and full of intrigue. Nice to be able to walk around the grounds of Killua Castle (we drove to the main entrance) and to meet the owner and have a chat with the owner, Alan. Memorable stay for a memorable occasion!
