Though staying in the Carrigeen Castle allows you to cross 'stay in castle' off a list of life aspirations, the experience was, well, just a bit creepy. You're staying in someone's house, as the proprietors of the castle currently live there, and when we got home in the evening it felt exactly like sneaking back into mom and dad's house... more

I had read the reviews, but wanted to accomodate my son's desire to stay in a castle. We showed up about 1 1/2 hours later than I forecast in the conversation with Peig from my home in Texas. When she answered the door, she was quick to point out our tardiness and we were scolded like children. "After all," Peig... more

The Bedroom and Diningroom were very clean and tidy. Breakfast at 08.30am was prompt and very good value. Mrs Margaret Butler and Son David were different but intresting, as was staying in a Beautiful Castle. The surrounding Countryside is Beautiful beyond compare. Very Good Value for money and i hope to return again. more

A great place to stay if you ever want to stay in an actual castle. The place has so much character and is unlike any other place you'll ever stay. Located within walking distanced of the town, but very quiet. The owner (Ms. Butler) is a nice lady, but will let you know if you do something she doesn't agree... more

We have stayed at Carrigeen Castle on many occasions. Each time we have had top class service. Peig is a wonderfull entertaining Host as is David. Any request that we made for a room on the ground floor have always been catered for. Great value and a super breakfast. Peig guided us to Cafe Roma in the town. Four of... more

My stay at Carrigeen Castle was one of the creepiest experiences I have ever had, namely due to Peig Butler. She rudely welcomed us when we arrived at 4pm, insisting that we had written a confirmed email for 4 guests when there was only the 2 of us. After our dinner at this random overly priced Indian restaurant down the... more

If you have read reviews of this castle you know that the positive or negative depends on Peg and David Butler. I read reviews before we committed to our stay and was concerned. Here is what happened. David met us with a matter of fact and proper almost "butler" greeting. If you want someone to cater to you and treat... more

Recently I traveled to Ireland with my family. Our ages ranged from 46 to 80. I am the eldest of 8 children and on this trip I was the designated driver for my Dad and my sister (3rd in line). The remainder of the group was made up of my three younger brothers, their wives and my youngest sister and... more

I have never stayed at a B&B prior to this. We arrived at the Castle four hours late on a Sunday night (no less). We should have tried to contact the owners to let them know we were running late, always think of this after the fact. My 80 year old father was in a room on the top floor... more
