Castle House is a lovingly restored historic property dating back to 1778. Once a soldier’s barracks, this four-storey home has been carefully brought back to life, offering guests a unique blend of heritage and luxury. Set within a private, gated courtyard beside the River Fergus and the ruins of a medieval castle, it provides a secluded yet convenient base for exploring County Clare. The ground floor features spacious living areas designed for comfort. The large kitchen and dining room stretch the length of the house, with a solid oak table seating up to 10, a wood-burning stove, and a fully equipped kitchen showcasing original features. A separate utility room and guest toilet add convenience. The cosy sitting room has another wood-burning stove, TV, and comfortable seating – the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring. Free WiFi is included. Castle House offers eight bedrooms, each en suite. Six king bedrooms are spread across the second and third floors, while the fourth floor has one twin and one double room sharing a bathroom, ideal for children. Two king rooms include a private sitting area and TV, and each floor has a freestanding bath for a touch of indulgence. Outside, guests can enjoy a beautifully landscaped walled garden shared with the neighbouring house. The courtyard offers ample parking, and at night the houses are beautifully lit. A private chef can be arranged on request (extra charges apply), and larger groups can also reserve the Straw House for private dining or events.

The location is ideal: just 15 minutes from Shannon Airport, 30 minutes from Limerick, and within easy reach of Galway, Lahinch, Doonbeg, Bunratty Castle, and the world-famous Cliffs of Moher. The lively town of Ennis is 2 miles away, while Dromoland Castle Hotel is a short drive. Castle House offers guests a rare opportunity to stay in a piece of living history, with comfort, space, and style at its heart.
