What a magical place. A hidden gem which deserves to be much better known - possibly Ireland's best kept secret. Beautiful and romantic house and garden with a fascinating history- lived in by the same family for 900 years. Comfortable, relaxed and... I would say 'homely' but so much more so than my own. A great treat and I hope very much I can go there again. Mark from Notting Hill, London

This is a difficult thing to write about, the magic of Glin castle is not within the normal world of beautiful hotels, I'm not one to believe in magic really, but I did feel it when we stayed here 20 years ago on our honey moon, and its still the same today. It is on a different level, maybe it has something to do with the complete lack of pomposity that makes it so special, this is not just a posh hotel, more like going to stay with a mad Aunty who was married to a shipping magnet, or something like that. Clare the manageress and her staff are efficient and delightful and make the whole stay seem effortless, - thank you all. It might not be everyones cup of tea, but those that get it will be blown away ! ----- Don't go if you want wi-fi, big tv's and hot tubs - - its not for you. If you can feel magic and just relax and let it deliver you to a place that is quite extraordinary then you will have experienced what it is, - you'll never really understand it, - and then again maybe you're not suppose to. The place exudes taste in a way which will change your understanding of taste, not brash or showy offy, things in here not bought on price whether large or small, but bought with love and interest, there are lessons for us all. The fairies will be watching you! So in summary, don't go and don't tell your friends, but this castle was built to entertain and loves the sound of laughter, - you'll never stay anywhere better!! I could go on, but thank you all so much.
