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.

What travellers are saying
- J KSan Antonio, TX142 contributionsThis waterfall is not only beautiful, but it has a dedicated parking area which is a relatively short distance away. It’s all free to see, so it’s well worth the visit on any journey along the Wild Atlantic Way.Written 9 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bill21 contributionsWe found this place by accident and absolutely loved seeing this little castle. The attention to detail shown when it was restored is truly great and helps bring it to life.
They have a great museum there and the staff was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. I wish we had more time there but we will be back for sure!
It may not have the splendor and grandeur of some of the truly massive, medieval castles of Europe, but it is a great example of the life of a nobleman in Ireland and a true gem. Worth your time to stop here.Written 2 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
