Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Showing the victorians' confidence that adding a building can make the landscape even better. The whole drive round the Mullaghmore peninsula is a series of panoramas. Classiebawn is a spectacular viewpoint; entirely free and easy to access by car.

Not Open to the Public but Nice from a Distance
Mar 2023 • Couples
By itself, this would not be worth a visit because it is: (1) not accessible to the public (2) private property, and (3) located quite a distance off the road … so a zoom lens is needed for a decent photo. However, it is located right next to Mullaghmore Head, which is definitely worth seeing, so that makes this a convenient enough place to take a quick look at, but nothing more.

Outstanding views!
Jul 2022
The cliffs and ocean near Classiebawn Castle are AMAZING! We were there on a sunny day, and it was just stunning. We could see Classiebawn Castle in the distance, along with the cows. It's not far from the nice town of Sligo.

Fairy tale castle
Aug 2020
It is a pity you cannot get close to the castle. However, if you go along the Mullaghmore peninsula, you will have enough possibilities of good sightings. This can be done both by car and on foot.

Stunning Surrounding
May 2019
Despite it can't be visited by public since it's private property, but you just can't resist its charm. It's surrounded by stunning surrounding with Benbulbin can be seen at the back. Mullaghmore is definitely amazing!

Interesting but not accessible so slightly disappointing.
Sep 2019 • Solo
While I have given this a 5 star rating, this is not an accessible property so I cannot review or rate it. All I can say is that it is just on the outskirts of Mullaghmore village which is quite a scenic place. It is a lovely drive along the coastline on a sunny evening and there are plenty of stop off points where you can view the Ocean and surrounding countryside.

Poignant History
Oct 2019
As we were in the area we stopped to look at the Castle which is a private residence. I was interested to see the M and B cypher for Mountbatten on the gates. The castle was inherited by Lord Mountbatten's wife, Lady Edwina who was related to Lord Palmerston who took over the castle at the end of the 19th century. Further along the road we stopped to view the plaque which shows the Mountbatten family photograph on the beach where they spent their summers until Lord Mountbatten and 3 companions were murdered just over 40 years ago. The sea was wild and untamed and atmospheric and the area is full of unspoiled natural beauty and worth a visit.

Classiebawn Castle in Sligo
Nov 2018
This beautiful Castle can not be visited by the public but it is absolutely worth the drive to view it from the cliffs of Mullughmore as the surrounding area is really beautiful. Stunning photo opportunities of the castle as well as the surrounding areas.

Amazing inaccessible location
Aug 2019 • Solo
Magnificent place to look at.very imposing structure over a vast landscape with exquisite backdrop of sea and mountains. Unfortunately, you can't visit. I guess the owners are entitled to their privacy. Otherwise they would get no peace! Fair enough! We can still admire the extraordinary views all around up to Donegal coastline.
