We visited Glin recently and stayed two nights at Old Castle House. On arrival we got a wonderful reception and were treated to tea and lovely home made cake. Our room was delightful and comfortable and we enjoyed a wholesome Irish breakfast which set us up for the day touring the beautiful Shannon Estuary. When we revisit Glin we plan... More

My husband and I stayed here for a night on our way from southern Ireland to northern Ireland. The people who run it are wonderful and so warm and welcoming. They were very flexible with us, and the breakfast was amazing. The house and grounds are stellar, very beautiful. I would stay here again!

This was my 3rd time, a total of 5 nights, in the last 5 years that I've stayed with Jack & Ester. If you really want to get the feel for the Irish people and Irish hospitality, you must stay in any one of the fine Irish B&B's and this one is on the Tops of my B&B Recommendations for... More

I have stayed here on many occassions. I was hooked after the first stay and didn't want to look elsewhere on my visits to the area (work takes me to Foynes for one week every month). Each time I have been welcomed with a sincere warmth which has made me feel immediatley at rest and peace. The house if fabulous... More

This was a quaint castle house we found on our way around the Ring of Kerry. It has charm and character but our bed was too hot and the pillows not good, but apart from that our room was spacious. We had a delicious breakfast. The grounds are lovely and a little brook runs through the garden, not bad for... More

Spent one night during our honeymoon trip through Ireland. Owners were very friendly, and made a nice full Irish in the morning.

During our two week trip through Ireland for our 25th, we had the privilage of staying at the Old Castle House in Glin. First, it is simply beautiful there. Next to a brook that leads a very short distance to the River Shannon. The room was quite warm and comfortable and our hostess was very friendly. We found this the... More

We made a last minute change in our itinerary and stopping near the ferry was a good plan. It turned out Glin really isn't a great place to stay. Old Castle House was good. The room was a queen (really a double) and a twin. Breakfast was good. The problem was there was no place to eat, even though it... More

En-route to another location I spent a night at Old Castle House. I got a great welcome, a big cup of tea and biscuits and an comfy room overlooking the river at the back of the house. What really made Old Castle House for me was that when I got a call from work to do an item at short... More

This was my second stay at Oldcastle House. I was greeted by Jack and we shared a pot of coffee in the sunshine. The room was cosy and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was tasty and very well presented. I would strongly recommend Oldcastle as a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. There is an outdoor hot tub. I didn't use it... More
