We had the stay of a lifetime at Ballindooley castle. So much history, and such a cool space! The owner gave us a lovely video tour to get us oriented to the castle and its long history. We planned for extra time in our itinerary to explore and just hang out in the castle--and I'm so glad we did! We'll be talking about this place for a long time.
These are not detractors, just facts of staying in the castle in November: It's stone. It's cold. There are plenty of heaters, and a fireplace, and thick curtains to hold in the heat, but you will find yourselves chilly going from room to room. Bring some thick cozy socks and dress in layers. Also, you will be climbing stairs. A lot of stairs. Again, I don't think these are bad things. It's a castle. Come prepared.

I've always wondered what it would be like to stay in a castle keep, and I got to experience it first hand!
The only drawback was the spiral stairs. The steps were quite narrow and could be treacherous.

I was looking for a unique stay in Ireland. Wow, did I find it! We loved the history of the place. It takes you back in time, but with modern amenities. I can’t stop talking about how amazing our two nights stay was. I would highly recommend just staying in one night and ordering food so you can eat in the grand dining hall. It was absolutely worth the price of admission! We stayed there with our three teenage boys and everyone loved it.
The only negative were the stinging nettle plants in the yard. One of our boys unfortunately encountered them when trying to retrieve a lacrosse ball

The castle ambiance was great
It was full of spider webs, the parents bed was wet, the musty odor was very strong, kitchen was not clean pots dirty, microwave very dirty and mold. Need a dehumidifier
