Our Experts Say
A Gothic fireplace, spiral staircases, dark stone walls and exposed beams are further dramatised by the accompanying colourful history of this modest castle; as wild as its rural setting and which played an exciting role in North Clare’s military past. Renovated to host 21st-century stays, the 15th-century castle brims with character amid the period antiques and floral bedsheets.
