We stayed here for a few days after Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The Hosts were wonderful: friendly, welcoming and thoughtful. Our room (2) was massive but very comfortable and the breakfasts a joy - the highest quality of everything, made us realise what we miss about Ireland. If you are planning a trip to Tipp,... More

Having frequent business in the Thurles area, I stayed at The Castle on and off for the last eleven years - until I retired. I liked everything about the Castle and the Duggan family, all of whom were unfailingly helpful, accommodating and friendly throughout that period. Let's face it: eleven years is a good robust test. In particular I liked... More

We had the absolute pleasure of staying with Pierce and Joan Duggan at The Castle in September. It was so much more than we expected. We had booked a "Trace Your Roots" package which included 3 nights B & B, fabulous breakfasts, an amazing 5 star dinner cooked by Joan, and heaps of genealogical advice from Pierce for searching for...

Not being able to find a hotel in Thurles, I started checking B&Bs and found the Castle Country House. And what a find! A beautiful old house attached to the keep of an ancient castle - rooms were beautifully furnished and very comfortable, landlord and lady very welcoming and an amazing breakfast! As a guest I felt that my needs... More

Incredible place! Our room was unbelievable with beds dressed for royalty and vaulted ceilings. The view out the window was lovely and there was even a small table and chair to have tea or write out some postcards. Pearce is a lovely man that makes a scrumptious breakfast that includes his wife's homemade brown bread! He is a joy, always... More

We stayed here for only 2 nights unfortunately. I wish it had been longer. Wonderful quiet location but not far from food places and sightseeing. The hosts, Joan and Pierce were so helpful with my reason to be in the area and knowledgable. I learnt a lot about family research in the area. Pierce greeted us each day we returned... More

I stayed at the Castle in March 2011 whilst in and around Thurles and Kilkenny. Its an excellent B&B with massive rooms and superb facilities. The hosts are very welcoming and very helpful. The castle adds real character to an already intriguing building although visitors arent allowed up it, which is a shame! (Health and Safety / Insurance reasons)

My mom and I have stayed here a few times and really love it. It's got BIG rooms with a comforting feel, and the old house is full of all kinds of interesting nooks and crannies. The owners are FABULOUS and Pierce will talk your ear off if you let him. It's the Irish way :) The breakfast is great,... More

This is a fabulous little gem. Beautiful well appointed rooms with charismatic hosts that made a perfect stop on our tour around Ireland. Walking distance to a couple of pubs and driving distance to tour the Rock of Cashel. I would definately recommend staying here.
