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.
We arrived quite late after our hike up Ben Baun (beautiful but terrifying). We had such a warm welcome and a really warm and cozy room. The beds were very comfortable. We got food from the nearby diner which the hostess recommended and ate at the beautiful Island View beach at sunset. The diner served local mussels, chicken burgers and great chips. When checking in, we were given a breakfast menu and it was incredible- great veggie options and I loved seeing a cheeseboard on the menu! I would really recommend this place- the B+B owners were so nice, such a gorgeous view from our table at breakfast and a great little fire/sofa area for a glass of wine before bed.

The Olde Castle House is in a fantastic location right next to the sea with beautiful views. We was made very welcome upon arrival and was given a much needed cup of tea. The lady was very helpful with local knowledge. The breakfast was absolutely brilliant and Samantha was very pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean with a sea view. Perfect will visit again.

on the grounds of an old castle that was raided by Grace o'Malley (Granuaile), this comfortable and quiet house stands at the edge of the ocean. the lovely hosts will make you feel right at home with tea and shortbread upon arrival, and they have some great advice for you regarding dining and sightseeing. there's a folder in the room with lots of helpful information too. the surrounding landscape is simply breathtaking. worth the trip!

If I could give the B & B a 1 star rating I would, but it doesn’t seem that I have that option. We stayed here 1 night and that was too long, it was by far the only place in our 14 day trip that we wouldn’t return to (we stayed in a total of 7 hotels/B & Bs/Airbnbs). Check in was from 2p-6pm. We arrived at about 550pm and were shown to our room. I didn’t say anything initially when she opened the door to the room because I thought I had made a mistake when booking and reserved the wrong room. So we went to dinner and came back and I looked at my printout confirmation. I had not made a mistake, I had reserved the right room, the description read it was one full bed, with a sitting area, bathroom, and view. There was even a picture on my printout confirmation of the room we were supposed to be in. The room we were given had one full bed, and one twin bed, a super tiny bathroom, no sitting area and a view of a bush... So it seemed that we were given the wrong room. So when I approached the woman who had checked us in, she at first said, that we were in the right room and there was no mistake. So I then pulled out my confirmation and showed her he description and the picture and she then changed her story and said, well the room you have now was more expensive anyway... (more expensive because it slept more people, not because it was a nicer room, it was the worst room in the house). I was obviously upset about this, we are in our honeymoon and our room was given away. I told her that we wouldn’t have booked with this B & B if I had known our room would be given away. I specifically remember seeing the room that we did get and thinking “I definitely don’t want that one”. I had booked nearly 4.5 months in advance of our trip so most rooms were available at that time.... I was really disappointed and it really ruined the day for us. The room was tiny, smelly and cramped. It felt dirty and there was barely any light.

We were made very welcome by the owner Virginia and her daughter Samantha in this spectacularly situated B&B. Our bedroom looked over beautiful blue and turquoise seas, islands and mountains. It was so quiet and with no street lights we actually slept with the curtains open - lights twinkling in the distance over the sea from farmhouses on Clare island. The breakfast was great and rates very reasonable and we look forward to going back again soon - highly recommended !

The Olde Castle House deserves a visit: even just to experience the beauty of staying in a place that embeds all the Irish features: an old ruined tower at the side, the roaring ocean in front of you, horses, cows and sheeps complete the view.. a writer can find plenty of inspiration out here. A good Irish breakfast is served to begin the day with and track in the Connemara National Park. Rooms are simple but clean and well equipped. We had a room with a separate private bathroom but the Bed and Breakfast has also ensuite rooms.Definitely one of the most authentic place we stayed in.

We have spent 4 days with my family (4 children) at the Olde castle, and it was a very nice stay. The peninsula and Connemara is just fantastic and this is a nif-ght place from where to discover the Connemara. People very friendly, welcoming, excellent breakfast, fantastic view in the breakfast room, fantastic location. The rooms are very nice, although not very large.

The hospitality, cleanliness, location and friendly staff make this a destination B & B, to say nothing of the first rate breakfasts and fservice. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the views of the sea are grand.

My family has stayed at this B & B 5-6 times during the past 7 years. On one occasion, there were 5 of us staying in 3 separate rooms. We have returned to The Olde Castle House because it is one of our favorite places to stay in the west of Ireland. The rooms are clean and spacious, the view spectacular, and the hosts are welcoming and friendly. When we stay there, we feel like we are being treated more like friends or family than guests. The breakfasts are excellent, and the view from the dining room is beautiful. There are places to walk near-by and villages with pubs and restaurants are near-by. We are already looking forward to returning there again.

This house sits at the end of the road in Renvyle under a tower castle from 11c and over looks the bay. Clean, quiet and very private. Virginia warmly greets each visitor and offers tea and biscuits before settling down for a most enjoyable stay. Roisin handles the reservations with professional and timely accuracy while Samantha serves up a wholesome breakfast and GREAT coffee! Just a short drive to the Connamara National Park where the hiking is endless and trails for all ages and abilities. This is a home we hope to keep returning to for years to come. Thank you all for your hospitality!
