Summer at the castle

It's been a while since our last post so I would just like to bring you up to date with all that is happening here at the castle. In March we had to close our leisure club after nearly 14 years in business however the accommodation here in the castle is still going strong.

This year we have welcomed guests from nearly every continent and look forward to seeing a few more before the end of the summer. We introduces a special offer of 75 Euros per person for a two night stay (including breakfast) in Spring and have decided to extend it throughout the summer.

Leisure Club Closed

Unfortunately our leisure club is closed at the moment. We regret that guests staying at the castle will not have access to the pool and gym during their stay.

Leisure club will close at 6 pm during current bad weather

The leisure club will close at 6 pm each evening during the current exceptional weather as members have been having great difficulty getting up the road leading to the club. We will keep you informed here and on our facebook page. You can also ring us at 041-6857167

New Fitness Suites open

Francis Brennan opened our new fitness suite at the leisure club last week. It is already in use for a number of new classes.
