Castle holiday rentals in Galway

Alan's place is accurately described. It is a work in progress in some areas but it was still well worth the stay. The castle is quite unique, and Alan was extremely friendly.

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.

Chris' hospitality was spot on. He represented the flavor of Ireland in how helpful he was in guiding us on our way and providing input on where to go and what to see. We didn't have much of a plan and he provided us with memorable places for us to visitL Kylemore Abbey was amazing, thanks Chris! And the cakes and coffee at Sullivans!. Chris was sincere and personable and we got to interact with his two lovely dogs. The breakfast was first rate and so yummy! He also gave us an afternoon snack and coffee or tea. Chris wrote the book on how to be an Airbnb host and could train others. Thanks again, we will never forget our time at Bookeen Hall!

Absolutely amazing! We had so much fun! Host was so kind and accommodating. Do not hesitate to book this place, it was so spectacular!

Staying at Carraigin Castle was an unforgettable experience! As Airbnb hosts ourselves from Alaska, we really appreciate the effort and care that goes into creating a welcoming and well-maintained space. From the moment we arrived, Geraldine was warm, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Her recommendations for local sights and dining were spot-on, making our stay even more special. The castle itself is in immaculate condition, blending historic charm with thoughtful comforts. Every detail, from the cozy furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen, made us feel both transported in time and completely at home. Waking up to the peaceful surroundings and exploring the beautiful grounds felt like something out of a storybook. If you’re looking for a truly unique and magical stay in Ireland, Carraigin Castle is an absolute must! Thank you, Geraldine, for your hospitality—we hope to return someday!

This is the most unique Airbnb I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. I don't think my words will do it justice, and the photos only give you a glimpse into how cool this property is. You need to book it and experience it for yourself. 11/10

Wonderful experience! Gerry was so kind and a wealth of knowledge about The Claregalway castles history and restoration, making the tour of the castle that much more memorable. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was amazing, it was very quiet and peaceful and breakfast in the morning was a nice touch. The old Abbey across the road was so neat to explore and so beautiful to photograph. We would absolutely stay here again and can't wait to return. Thank you Gerry for being such a wonderful host.

This was easily the highlight stay of our trip. The castle is genuinely stunning and magical. The hosts were absolutely friendly and so passionate about the property! Not only was the room decorated with so much intention, but the entire grounds, too! I cannot recommend this place enough! We will be back for SURE!

We had a fantastic stay at the Claregalway Castle! Gerry was very easy to communicate and was even kind enough to let us do a load of laundry after we had been on the road for a week. The room was spacious and clean and had a nice and big shower. Easy ride into Galway but enough pubs and restaurants close by if you don't want to go into the city. We definitely recommend if you're in the Galway area :)

Very comfortable place to stay. Clean, warm, spacious and in an absolutely fabulous location for walks and exploring Connemara. Ballynahinch Castle in walking distance for a lovely meal out, although best to drive (4min) in the evening as the roads/pathways are unlit.

My partner and I traveled across Ireland for our honeymoon and our stay at Claregalway Castle was by far and away the best accommodations we had. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay feel like we were in a 5 star hotel and were extremely accommodating. The grounds were immaculate and the castle on the premises was one of the coolest things we saw for the duration of our trip. Every amenity and last detail was considered and the beds were extremely comfortable. We cannot recommend Claregalway Castle enough!
