Reviewer Type: Extended Group
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It was a great pleasure staying for a week in this medieval tower house, running up and down the spiral staircases, peaking down the murder holes, dining in the banquet room and relaxing in the dark, but very cosy living space. In the evenings we watched the sun set from the roof terrace, and in the mornings we sent the kids out to play on the large lawn in front of the tower. The owner was very communicative and friendly. Upon arrival he even gave us a brief history of this indeed very special place.
Negative: The bedroom on the ground floor is rather damp, but this is a building from 16th century.
Summary: Extraordinary accommodation and a beautiful experience

Positive: It’s a real, very cool castle with significant upgrades for 21st century living. The owner virtually walked us through and gave us lots of historical information. He was also very communicative and flexible.
Negative: Nothing. It is not staying at a hotel, it is an old stone castle so one needs to be prepared for that.
Summary: My family was in awe of our stay at the Ballindooley Castle. It was so exciting and yet had everything we needed for a c

Positive: This was a very unique, fun experience if you have ever dreamed of staying in your own castle. Our host provided a great overview of the history and features of the castle upon check-in, and it did have modern conveniences to make our stay quite comfortable. Location was very close/convenient to Galway, but in a peaceful countryside setting.
Negative: While this would be a great property for a family, especially with kids, I would not recommend for older guest with mobility issues. The stairs are quite narrow and there’s a lot of of them! But for folks with a sense of adventure, I’d highly recommend giving this place a try.
Summary: Amazing Scotland castle experience

Positive: Our host was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the castle's history. He shared fascinating stories and anecdotes that brought the past to life, giving us a great, fun and informative phone tour of the castle. The castle's architecture is breathtaking, with intricate details and stunning views of the grounds and nearby lake. We got the whole castle for ourselves, and there's multiple rooms and beds to accommodate your whole group. I can tell a lot of effort and thought have been put into the making of this renovated castle. This is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a special occasion. We highly recommend this unique accommodation to anyone seeking a truly unique experience.
Negative: Barry has a stunning space, but it could definitely use a deep cleaning. There's unnecessary old clutter in some rooms, and dust everywhere. My mom and I spend a few hours cleaning as much as we could in the kitchen, living room and bathrooms, but we didn't want to spend our vacation cleaning a place that should've been cleaned for us already. The fireplace needs to be cleaned urgently too. Just a heads up, every room has its own floor, keep this in mind if you have mobility issues, my mother-in-law was not able to go anywhere but the first floor.

Travel Purpose: business
Positive: We stayed at Ballindooley Castle in August of 2024. It was amazing. The castle is one of those one-in-a-lifetime opportunities, unique experience overall. The amount of space you get is huge, first of all. Also, the home was well-appointed with everything you could possibly need to live like royalty. Barry was a very responsive host. All rooms were as described. You can even get to the roof of the tower which has spectacular views. There is also a good amount of outdoor space, including a picnic table.
Negative: My only small gripe is that there were cobwebs and spiders in some of the nooks and crannies. Also if anyone in your group has mobility issues you will not be able to stay here. There are lots of steep staircases.
Summary: Fantastic, unique stay

Positive: The castle was amazing. We were a little worried because of the pictures and how much room there was we might be sharing some of the common areas. Nope, entire castle to ourselves. It was a unique experience and very happy we chose to stay here.
