Castle vacation 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!

Staying at Pete's castle was the highlight of our trip; truly a one of a kind and amazing experience. Pete was an exceptional host, so kind to our son, and took time to tell us the story of how he rebuilt it. We enjoyed every second of being there.

Our stay was wonderful—the most relaxing night we’ve had in Ireland thus far. We were met with an offer of tea, shown to a lovely room with access to the bell tower—perfect for yoga, meditation or reading—then on our own to relax and explore Athlone I had some dietary considerations for breakfast, and our hosts were very kind and accommodating, serving a lovely meal that suited us perfectly. Thoughtful details such as tea upon arrival, great linens, and fantastic decor made our stay in this redone chapel really special, and we appreciated it very much!

Really loved staying at the Balleycumber manor house. Connie was great and spent quite a bit of time showing us around and telling us all about the history of this house that has been in her family for generations. The grounds were fun to explore and the house had really comfortable rooms for sitting around a fire and enjoying a pint. It was a great central location for our rapid tour of Ireland.

Beautiful, unique, historical- this castle is truly one of a kind. Karen was a welcoming host, and the property was so peaceful, yet convenient to Galway and the Burren. Our stay in Kilcolgan was a highlight of our trip.

The castle staff were personable and so lovely, with plenty of time for us during our stay. The check-in was smooth and friendly, and it was a highlight of our trip down the west coast. We have already recommended the place to friends and will likely do so again. Excellent stay.

We had the best time ringing in the new year at Kilahara castle! It was such a unique and cool experience that we will all remember. Lorraine was extremely friendly with check in and accommodating when our coffee press broke. The history is incredible and each room has a unique story attached to it. It is a castle from the 1500s so there was dust and spiders. The stairs are steep as well but overall a wonderful, unique, and fun way to spend holiday!

Gorgeous historically accurate castle with modern renovations, conveniently located 15 minutes from Galway, and situated on a beautiful river with exceptionally friendly staff. Included a perfect continental breakfast as well as a free tour of the castle, including the reconstructed tower. Modernized windows make the bedrooms virtually soundproof.

This was the most amazing stay! Words cannot describe the beauty of this place. Geraldine was the perfect welcoming host! We felt right at right home. The place was immaculate and it honestly felt like a fairytale! We also got dinner catered by Tina and everything was perfect and delicious! We decided to get the boat and so glad we did! David Scully was a great captain and the boat was peaceful to experience. Highly recommend!! Would absolutely visit again!!!!

It was a dream come true to stay at Kilshanny Castle. We loved having the castle and grounds all to ourselves. It was so nice and convenient to be able to cook a meal together in the fully stocked kitchen. Although the castle is very authentic, we appreciated the hot water for showers and the toilets. It was my daughter’s 11th birthday and we celebrated by dressing up in the medieval costumes and took pics and stayed up till midnight so she could open her birthday presents. It was definitely a once in a lifetime experience for my husband, myself and my children.

My husband and I had a great time staying at Claregalway Castle. We were in the Abbey room which was very private and did not share walls with any other rooms. It was nice to sit in the bed and have windows in front and both sides. The room and bathroom were extremely large and the heating in the floors really heated up the room quickly. The staff was friendly and nice. There is a continental breakfast that had some pastries, yogurt, fresh fruit, toast, and cereal. It was plenty for us. When you stay there, you get a tour of the castle on site. We got lucky and could see every floor. There is an actual room for rent in the castle so if it has guest, you won’t be able to see it. This was a unique stay that I recommend.

This was easily the highlight stay of our trip. The castle is genuinely stunning and magical. The hosts were absolutely friendly and so passionate about the property! Not only was the room decorated with so much intention, but the entire grounds, too! I cannot recommend this place enough! We will be back for SURE!
