Castle vacation rentals in Ireland

An authentic experience of life in a 15th century castle with the comforts of electricity & running water thrown in. Peter is a real character, as well as being super friendly & informative. He is also an incredibly talented craftsman & storyteller. It was a fantastic experience for both my wife & I.

Chris and Orla have the most gorgeous home I have ever seen. Not only are they kind and gracious hosts, they’re all true collectors of beauty!! The inside is just as stunning as the outside. The bell tower is such a sweet feature! I was late to check in and they still greeted me with tea and a little sweet treat. Breakfast was filling and beautiful. I let them know I’d like to take a bath and they had everything ready for me. What kind and lovely people. 10/10 would recommend

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.

Our stay was absolutely perfect - the castle is such a gem in a stunning location. The castle was homely and had everything you could ask for and more. Everything was spotless and in its place. We came with our extended family and we were all blown away by how wonderful the castle was. I would recommend anyone to stay at this beautiful location. Thank you Mary for a wonderful time.

Great stay for a weekend to get out and experience Irish countryside. Lot of tourist attractions you can drive to from here in Waterford and Tipperary

We were blown away by how beautiful and unique our stay at Wilton Castle was! The drive in through the gates are like a step back into time, filled with anticipation as you get closer to the beautiful architecture! The suite itself is enormous with tons of room to spread out, high ceilings, and spacious bedrooms. Each bedroom has a unique theme which really brings out the character. There are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and the working farm right next door. We were delighted to be watch the dairy cows file in for milking and to observe the skillful border collie. The grounds themselves are a delight to explore with beautiful trees, enchanting old ruins, and picturesque river winding its way through the property. It was amusing the watch the local ravens gather materials for their nests in the ruins of the castle tower. Certainly a stay that will last long in our memories. Our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! We definitely hope to stay again!

Our second visit to Glenville was also something special: a different time of year and other wonderful impressions in the park, which we continued to explore. And Dare was a pleasant conversationalist and substitute host. We felt very comfortable and discovered new things. The journey through time in Glenville was a special highlight on our trip through beautiful Ireland. And Silvia: Maybe we'll get to know you sometime.

Our family couldn't stop talking about this stay and experience. To stay in an ACTUAL castle... we only wished the walls could talk! The place was beautiful, private, and decorated fantastically! There are no t.v's etc as described but that was a BENEFIT. We played games and talked by the giant fireplace. Had dinners at the great table in the kitchen. And dressed up even in fun outfits they provide to add to the experience. The location is great! The hosts list the amenities near by and are spot on with recommendations. Also as a runner, I went for runs on the roads in the morning and felt safe and awed by the surroundings.

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

This was such a fun experience, and such a treat to stay in sign an old castle. it was a dream to stay here for our honeymoon, and the complementary bottle of wine and breakfast were icing on the cake. It's so worth splurging a little, and honestly it's priced very reasonably for the experience!

This is a love song to Atherlow Castle. Our family of 6(all adults) stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave. We truly felt at home. There’s plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy in the castle but there was still such a comfortable feeling. The grounds are lovely, with the nicest looking herd of cows I’ve ever seen peacefully grazing on impossibly green grass. Freda and Declan were quintessential hosts! Friendly and unobtrusive with adorable bouncy dogs. The area, as described by a local tea shop owner we struck up a conversation with, is real Ireland not tourist Ireland. All of the major sites are within driving distance but the local area has hidden gems. We have stayed in wonderful Airbnbs all over the world but Atherlow Castle won my heart.

Staying here was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The moment we drove through the gates, our jaws literally dropped—the castle is absolutely breathtaking in person! From start to finish, everything about our stay was magical. Our hosts were so warm and welcoming, and even gave us a personal tour of the castle grounds after a delicious breakfast. Our room was immaculate, cozy, and full of charm—we loved every second of it. As an added bonus, we were greeted by their adorable local cat, Elizabeth, who instantly made us feel at home. The location is also fantastic—just a short walk to several great restaurants, making it easy to explore and enjoy the local cuisine without needing to drive. I can’t recommend this place enough, 10/10!

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.
