Thanks Anne and Paul for a lovely stay. The house and views were unreal, even better than the photos! Beautiful home and surroundings, freindly & helpful hosts and added bonus of the beautiful cafe onsite. Coffee was delish. We will definitely visit again

Wonderful Days at Beagh Castle
The cottage was very cosy and well equiped. The view from the patio was amazing! The landlords were very friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to come back one day!
A little more cutlery and dishes would be great.

Relaxing cottage on the banks of the Shannon
This house is a bit far from everything but the environment is very relaxing and very quiet with a beautiful direct view of a Viking tower. However, the postcard image is a bit spoiled by the house's equipment. It lacks dishes and pots for eating. All the equipment is a bit old but the experience remains interesting.

Beautiful Beagh Castle
Beautifully restored heritage cottages circa 300 Years old. Modernly appointed, with perfect views of the Viking Beagh Castle and river. The place is immersed in nature, Flocks of Swallows, Dolphins, Rabbits, Minty the goat and a family of dogs. The host Paul and his family are very friendly and hospitable. The place is fabulous. Excellent wifi and speed and everything you need for a business trip and or vacation. Very close to Shannon airport and Limerick City. The Trident team are very professional and prompt and ensure you are well looked after. Excellent place to stay. 10 Stars

Just Lovely
Lovely small cottage with a beautiful castle ruin in the backyard. We saw sea otters, hedgehogs, ravens, donkeys, goats, horses, ponies, and friendly dogs. The wood burning stove was awesome and made the place super cozy. Wifi was great for remote working, cottage was well stocked, and the SuperValu had tons of variety at great prices. Great place to stay - the owners were so welcoming and open but gave us our privacy as well. Highly recommend & would stay again :)
Loved everything but disappointed that the cafe was temporarily closed.
Excellent property restored modernized on Beagh Castle.
On site proprietors available for assistance if needed. Very cozy, fantastic views of Shannon Estuary and castle grounds. Pier and gathering areas available. On-site cafe for light snacks, coffee and drinks. Very pleased with the quiet, private location. Active farming area. Close to many restaurants and pubs in Limerick.. Top of the Town Restaurant and Pub nearby in Askeaton. Overall, highly recommended for a unique stay.

A welcome, convivial experience of summer Ireland with a Castle to boot!
The hosts were lovely. They were knowledgeable about the area and introduced me to a fantastic tour guide for the nearby Franciscan Friary. The castle was historic, the fellow clientele of the restaurant were charismatic, the landscape and nearby walks and villages were superlative experiences. I enjoyed local produce which I was able to cook in the well appointed kitchen of my cottage
When I was there, the last cottages were in progress, for me I like seeing things being developed, a bit of a restorations guy myself, but some may not like it. The proprietors will be finished soon and it’s a brilliant project!
