The Spiral Staircase
The original spiral staircase remains one of the few entirely original examples of its kind in the region, rising through every level.



The Dining Room & Kitchen
The dining room features a large, richly carved 17th-century table that comfortably seats eight guests. The adjoining kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a range cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer, allowing guests to enjoy both historic atmosphere and modern convenience.


The Great Hall
The Great Hall forms the heart of the castle. With its impressive original Gothic fireplace — perhaps one of the finest examples in Ireland — and centuries-old stone walls, it offers a warm and atmospheric space to relax after a day exploring the grounds and surrounding countryside.




The Minstrels’ Gallery
Overlooking the Great Hall, the Minstrels’ Gallery provides a unique sleeping space with a double bed. Its elevated position adds a distinctive historic character and offers a charming view over the main hall below. Originally an extra story housing the royal chambers, keep an eye out for the crown emblem at the door!
Bedroom Chamber
Our cosy bedrooms feature a traditional four-poster bed, a wardrobe, and central heating. The bottom bedroom is only a few stairs up and the easiest to access.
Main Bathroom
The castle’s original bathing chamber has been carefully renovated, preserving its historic features.


Upper Bedroom
Located at the top of the castle, this bedroom is the one for the ambitious ones - or those seeking a workout! It offers beautiful views over the surrounding grounds and landscape.
