I stayed at the Castle in March 2011 whilst in and around Thurles and Kilkenny. Its an excellent B&B with massive rooms and superb facilities. The hosts are very welcoming and very helpful. The castle adds real character to an already intriguing building although visitors arent allowed up it, which is a shame! (Health and Safety / Insurance reasons)

My mom and I have stayed here a few times and really love it. It's got BIG rooms with a comforting feel, and the old house is full of all kinds of interesting nooks and crannies. The owners are FABULOUS and Pierce will talk your ear off if you let him. It's the Irish way :) The breakfast is great,... More

This is a fabulous little gem. Beautiful well appointed rooms with charismatic hosts that made a perfect stop on our tour around Ireland. Walking distance to a couple of pubs and driving distance to tour the Rock of Cashel. I would definately recommend staying here.

The building and huge rooms are fantastic. The coupple who own it are very hospitable. The breakfast is delicious. It is close to the motorway, but in a quite and pecefull rural setting. It was the best value for money accomodation on my recent trip round Ireland. I highly reccomend it.

This is a lovely bed and breakfast with beautiful rooms with spacious bathrooms. We occupied three rooms at The Castle and all were equally beautiful. The beds were very comfortable and breakfast was yummy. Pierce & Joan were very friendly and accommodating. This was my parents second stay at The Castle and they enjoyed it both times. I would highly... More

We chose The Castle as a convenient stopover before Dublin, the last stage of our wonderful journey around Ireland. If we'd known how delightful it was we'd have extended our stay and used it as a staging point to explore the nearby counties. As it was, we'd run out of time! The Castle has the character and atmosphere of a... More

We stayed at The Castle late December. the bedrooms were clean, comfortable and spacious and great breakfasts. The evening meals are also excellent. The friendiness of Pierce and Joan made our stay so homely. Look forward to staying again in the very near future.
