Castle Oaks House Hotel

We just spent 3 nights and enjoyed every minute . It is set in beautiful grounds and the hotel itself is gorgeous. Beautiful entrance and lovely welcoming atmosphere.....open fire and sweeping staircase add to the grand but not intimidating foyer. We had intended going to sample some of the local restaurants and bars but the barfood and staff in The […] Island Bar were so good we ate there every night.....the home made biscuits were just the best and Edward and John served it all with a smile.....breakfast was delish....and everything you could possibly desire was available on the buffet or to order from the kitchen. We went to Bunratty Castle and the Cliffs Of Moher so it was a great location for seeing the sights. All in all it was a really enjoyable weekend and i hope we get to come back soon....J & T Read more

I picked the Castle Oaks House Hotel because I wanted to explore that part of the country side around the river Shannon. For that, the hotel is in a great location with scenic walks along the river easily reached by footpath from the hotel. The hotel is a beautiful old country house which has been extended to provide rooms and conference / reception […] facilities. These look dated and not as grand as the house itself. The room I stayed in was basic but surprising quite large with plenty of floor space. It was clean, but in need of some modernisation. For example, the door uses a basic rim lock and there was clear evidence that it had been jimmied open before and nothing stopping someone from doing it again. The bathroom was small and space could have been taken from the room by adding a walk in shower. A room that has no view, such as the one I stayed in, needs extra features to make it some place the guest can enjoy. For example, comfortable armchairs. The food was good but the waiting staff disorganised which took from the over all experience. Having said all that, the hotel does not pretend to be a luxury hotel or venue in and of itself. If you are looking for a place to stay that is comfortable and unsophisticated while you explore the countryside you can't go too far wrong with the Castle Oaks House Hotel if you get a good rate.

A wonderful stay would highly recommend the Castle Oaks. Friendly, clean, quiet, great service, good location, nice grounds, lovely hotel. We got a very friendly greeting. The foyer is small and quaint, just like int he pictures, large open fire, leather couches. Staircase set out in fresh lillies. The room was beautiful. Had some bar snacks in the […] comfy bar, the menu looked good, fresh sea bass. bar staff were very friendly. we sat at the bar chatting for most of the night. Went for a nice walk, the grounds go right down to the river Shannon, the river itself is beautiful, tree lined and shallow waters with small drops which I guess they use for the salmon fishing. Hotel was quiet, about 30 people around. Just what we wanted. Breakfast was very good, with only a 5euro room service charge. Strolled down to the village the next day, the hotel is in the village but because of the the grounds it feels like the country. The village is lovely, 5 pubs and a couple of restaurants, locals are exceptionally friendly. The restaurant looks very good too. Overall an exceptional hotel which we got very cheap with Hotels.com. I highly recommend it. Niall. Read more
