- "Stayed for a family’s anniversary, such a lovely place to stay, had fresh scones and cakes with butter and milk for us on arrival and all the things we needed for a cup of tea or coffee. Well equipped with toiletries and lovely and warm. " - "Our stay was an absolute dream! Lorna and Peter provided a one of a kind experience. Upon arrival we were giving a tour of the farm and grounds, then a walk through our cottage, which was clean, well maintained and full of activities. Lorna then invited us to check out the afternoon milking, then meet and PET the cows and then young calfs who were curious enough to walk over. Then we met the farm horse Drift, who couldn't have been friendlier. The two dogs are adorably cute and the chickens are always wandering about. The landscaping and attention to detail is so impressive. The garden is professional grade of course. We only wish we had stayed TWO NIGHTS instead of one. Don't make our mistake. The morning arrived with fresh scones, massive eggs from the hens, and cold milk from the cows. Just magical!!"

- "We spent 3 nights at the Granary. Simply amazing. Bee has thought and gone above and beyond providing everything you will need for your stay. We cooked some amazing meals from the local meat market and grocery. Cute little 10 minute town to drive into for meals, grocery, ice cream, or if you prefer to dine there. Enjoyed the slower pace of the countryside and gave us opportunity to explore some attractions not too far. The house is immaculate and attention to detail is beyond. I can’t say enough. It is a bit off the beat and path, but they is what drew us there. You will not regret your stay!"

Castle House features a unique 17th century tower and a 250 year old farmhouse incorporated into the fabric of a modern home creating a rather unorthodox layout, combining the traditional and the cutting edge in a beautiful, quaint setting.

This listing is for the self-contained guest wing of our house, ensuring you complete privacy with sole use of the space and its amenities.
The space
The castellated tower is definitely the feature which draws the most attention, but Castle House has so much to offer.
Located in the small village of Killea, near the foot of Devil's Bit Mountain, we are surrounded by lush countryside.
During your stay you can enjoy the beautiful views from our garden and relax in the unique comfort of the house itself.
We also have a huge library of boardgames for our guests to play and enjoy while here.
There are many leisurely pursuits available around Killea and Templemore, such as golf, horse riding, fishing or hiking.
And in the evening there is entertainment and refreshment almost on our very doorstep at the O'Sullivans pub, renowned far and wide for its friendly atmosphere, live traditional music and for serving a perfect pint of Guinness!

We are a little over five kilometres from the town of Templemore on a relatively untraveled rural road.
The junction to the M7 motorway is 15 km from Castle House, and from there you have an easy and direct route either East towards Dublin (about 1 hour and 40 mins) or West to Limerick (about 45 mins) and then on to Galway.
This makes both Dublin Airport and Shannon Airport very convenient.
