Great stay in the country

The west wing apartments are brilliant. Lots of space. Well appointed. Friendly and helpful hosts, great breakfasts and the quiet and peace of the country. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Nice old castle and kind and helpful team

We stayed 6 nights at the property in the upper apartment. The apartment is spacious and well equipped. Of course due to the age of the property you cannot expect all the contemporary comfort but everything works well. It was a lovely experience to live in an authentic old castle full of atmosphere and its surroundings. The weather was not so good so we were a bit cold at the beginning. We asked for some heating and it was provided at the hours we asked for. A special mention for the delicious breakfast and the plenty of information for things to do and to see in the area. We really felt at home.

Quiet, lovely inn just minutes from Tuam and Galway

The inn was serene and historical and well appointed. The host showed us around when we got there and was very friendly, and the host at breakfast gave us great tips of things to do locally. Breakfast was yummy.

Castlehacket lodging

Very unique and charming stay. Enjoyed meeting other people and having an excellent breakfast. Country setting. Very quiet. Picturesque. Rooms were chilly in the evening. Check in process could be improved since we weren’t sure where to go when we arrived. Lack of water pressure at times.
