Check in process could be improved since we weren’t sure where to go when we arrived. Lack of water pressure at times. ##### Randy D.

The apartment is spacious and well equipped. Of course due to the age of the property you cannot expect all the contemporary comfort but everything works well. It was a lovely experience to live in an authentic old castle full of atmosphere and its surroundings. The weather was not so good so we were a bit cold at the beginning. We asked for some heating and it was provided at the hours we asked for. A special mention for the delicious breakfast and the plenty of information for things to do and to see in the area. We really felt at home. ##### Francoise L. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia H.

Beautiful scenery, well-appointed rooms, and gracious and welcoming hosts. The breakfast was wonderful! Some quirky plumbing, as one might expect in an old house (adds to the charm), but all was in working order. We highly recommend this unique and relaxing experience! ##### Julia H.

Joyce was a wonderful and kind host who graciously welcomed us to her home. There was also a very friendly and helpful man named Aidan who assisted Joyce with making sure we were having a positive experience throughout. The accommodations were spacious and elegant. The freshly prepared "custom order" breakfasts (made by Joyce) each morning were some of the best ones we had during our visit to Ireland. We appreciated the opportunity to experience the CastleHacket House and wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Justin T. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian H.

There is something magical about staying in a renovated castle that words can't describe. The home was stately and beautiful and our apartment had all the comforts a weary traveler could hope for (comfortable beds, large bathtub, well stocked kitchen, fresh brown bread baked by Joyce for your arrival :-). Joyce has done an amazing job making it a dream escape. From the moment you pass through the old stone wall and pull up the driveway, you'll know you're somewhere amazing. If you get a clear night with no clouds, the view of the stars is beyond stunning from the front lawn. Can't say enough about this home and the lovely owner, Joyce, who made us feel so welcome. We hope to be back! ##### Suzanne K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lotta P. Jul 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Underbart boende på landet!
