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.

Loaded with history. Right through from being built as part of King John's reign to a Garda station. Great audio visual plus upstairs exhibition is first class.

Very interesting and long history attached to this castle. Very much enjoyed the video presentation summarizing the 800 year old history. Staff extremely friendly and engaging.

A really interesting and informative collection of panels and artefacts that were very helpful in widening our understanding of Irish history and politics. Many thanks to the staff for giving us their time.

Unfortunately we were only able to see the outside walls of the castle at present. The stroll around them and through the town was a nice stretch of the legs, but would not detour just to see this right now

Very interesting history with some curious aspects! It wasn't open to go inside but simply wandering around the grounds gave you a feeling of what I must have been like over the time it has been used for a range of activities. Worth a stop! The town and harbour walk together with the lovely gardens make a visit well worthwhile.

I feel bad for giving this beautiful Norman Castle only three stars but due to Covid you see, you can currently only visit a small part. The castle builds are not open and you cannot climb the walls for the time being. All you can do is wander the grounds and that is well worth doing. Its free to enter anyway, at least it is at the moment as it is under the auspices of the OPW.
Fantastic, helpful and knowledgeable staff are on hand with information and a self-guide sheet and it's a marvellous Norman structure steeped on history got got back to King John.
But in all honestly, I'll have to cone back to see it properly when this horrible pandemic is behind us. I've a feeling ill be giving it more than 3 stars next time!
