Would recommend this rental in the summer for sure. There is barely any heating so we spent a ton of money on firewood and we were still cold. Otherwise a good experience and loved the sauna. ##### Bobbiann G. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### gina s.

It was amazing to travel to Ireland and be able to stay in a castle and enjoy the history while enjoying the modern touches. It was everything we wished for and more. The added touches of a link with directions as well as the firewood to burn a fire at night was magical! We will definitely stay here again! ##### Shawn K.

The stairs are definitely not for the faint of heart, but this was a once in a lifetime experience and we loved every second of it! The bay is absolutely stunning and you just can’t beat the views. The castle is just outside of town, far enough away to feel remote but close enough that we could go grab lunch and explore the cute shops! Highly suggest a stay here, just remember it’s a 500 year old building, not a fancy hotel. ##### Tara M. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick P.

We were fortunate with unseasonably warm, blue-sky weather. The geography of Roaring Water Bay is just beautiful. We spent a wonderful day harvesting blackberries on Heir Island with our granddaughter. Swimming at High Tide when the water laps the lower steps was exhilarating. We did not use the sauna. We applaud Stephanie’s decision to allow paying guests access to such a sympathetically restored part of Irish history. ##### Patrick P. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas P.

The Castle is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. As noted in the listing - this is not for everyone. Elderly may have issues with all the steps as well as young children. Stephanie is a very nice host and easy to chat with. If you are looking for something different and can manage the steps - this is a wonderful choice. ##### Thomas P.

Gwen and Stephanie were nothing but accommodating. A gael storm came through while we were there and they came by to just make sure we were ok. We loved the storm and found it to be the best place to be to witness mother nature’s power. We even felt extremely safe knowing the castle has been there for hundreds of years! We cooked dinner every night and had no issues. The place was surprisingly warm even with the colder winds and rain outside. A great getaway and absolutely magical scenery. Highly recommend! ##### Audra R. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tiffany B. Mar 14, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### An experience in a beautiful area It is an experience worth having. Our 3 teenagers thought it was very cool and it was a nice way to work some history into our holiday. There are few things that need attention: The light in the upstairs room doesn't appear to be fully secured into the ceiling, one of the lights in the upstairs bathroom needs to be touched a certain way to work and the drain system in the shower should be looked at. But that aside this is really more of an experience than a 4 star hotel (so if you are looking for luxury this may not be for you but if you are looking a unique experience we recommend it). ##### Tiffany B.

It has been a dream of my husband's to live in a castle, and we got to do that for three nights with our two young adult sons. The view when you approach the castle on the road is amazing, but those from the top floor as you look out over the bay are truly spectacular. We shopped for food and firewood in Skibbereen, then really didn't need to leave again. With temperatures outside in the low 50s during the day, we absolutely needed a fire to stay warm in the main room. But the beds had plenty of comforters at night to keep us toasty. The hot water for the shower needed a good 30 minutes to heat up, but that was our biggest inconvenience. Cocktail hour up on the top floor each afternoon as the sun set was a highlight. ##### Laurie H. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical retreat We were so happy to spend 4 incredible nights at the Castle, celebrating a 70th and a 59th birthday (2 couples). Even though the weather was mostly rainy and cold, the castle was warm, charming and dramatic. True, the stairs are not for the faint of heart, and the limestone breaths so everything has a slightly damp feel to it, but this only added to the charm. We explored the region, including the excellent Skibereen Farms Market and the Ring of Beara, as well as an epic day driving the Healy Pass. Cooking at the castle was easy, as the kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed. Yoga in the little shed was restorative. The views from the upstairs unit were so magnificent that it made leaving the room a difficult task! Stephanie is an excellent communicator, everything was as listed. Bucket-list item accomplished! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jen K. Mar 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Mostly amazing We are an adventurous family who enjoys a unique stay, even with a bit of inconvenience, and this property is memory-making. Please note that we would still have stayed, even with the items following. There is a huge gap between the main door and the walls and it is not just chilly, it is pretty cold. Make sure to bring layers and buy plenty of wood. The fire and Aga stove helped a lot and there is a space heater on the third level that worked well. Our daughters were on the mezzanine level and that space heater didn't work, and their bathroom was so damp the toilet paper was wet lol. We also thought 50 euro extra to use the sauna was pretty steep so we didn't use it. The chunkiest part was that the instructions and contact people were conflicting - we had two different codes and two different contact names and phone numbers. The Stephanie who I was supposedly getting emails from beforehand told us (when we sent a Whatsapp question) that she was no longer managing the property, but hers was the name I had on the reservation and her contact information was on the laminated sheet. Linens and rugs, chairs, the couch were overall pretty dingy and even seemed a bit soiled. Again, we would have stayed anyway as it was quite unique and the surroundings beautiful, but if you want a cushy stay free of inconvenience, this is probably not the place for you. ##### Jen K.

In Ireland, at a castle, and we got to stay in it! Build a fire, climb the stairs, enjoy the view, and snuggle up in the nice top floor bed. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/08b00bea-d30e-449d-90dd-9c3794634f14-1762278055790.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/faa45cdb-8cee-4ef8-a930-38f3ec71ad12-1762278051169.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6041448a-e74e-4c84-8b21-f66a071f5fa9-1762278058793.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8cf24498-f69e-4474-a968-b1e35fc7ac23-1762278058464.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mike L.

Jun 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing views and great rustic experience We had such a great time staying at this amazing historical site. Stephanie was very communicative and helpful with instructions and recommendations. This castle really immerses you in the history of the location. I picked this location for the amazing views and the unique experience. If you want history and beauty this is your place. If you want 5 star hotel with fancy accommodations this is not your place. But it definitely got 5 stars from me. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/880fb8e3-93af-44c5-ae29-9eb8efb19f5c-1749813690833.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/59cb7e1a-0c84-4d72-bca8-5b4396e0c76d-1749813689680.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0ac3a724-c617-4ce9-9579-ae202c602da5-1749813693408.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amanda W.

The castle has an unsurpassed 360 degree views of the water and farmland. Inside, it has the modern conveniences you need while maintaining a rustic atmosphere. The stairs can be a challenge yet the views from the modern upstairs bedroom is worth the risk. Everything was clean, warm and comfortable. Good directions and easy to find on the map. Excellent Wifi throughout. Highly recommend for a once-in-a-lifetime lodging experience. ##### Chris G.
