Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: We are the Moore family and this is our small family run business . We enjoy sharing our historic and national monument Castle tower with guests from all over the world who come for all kinds of stays and occasions/celebrations to make their time here as happy as can be, a stay they will remember always. It's a real honour for us to be able to play a small part in the dreams and memories that are made here.
Why the Owner Chose Clare, Co. Clare, Ireland:
Castles like this have not been built for hundreds of years, so when an opportunity arose to purchase such an rare and amazing piece of Irish history, we embraced our luck to be able to own such a special and magical place.
In addition to renting the Castle, we also offer a homely and large country house on the same grounds, so ideal for large families, or event bookings. The house can rent separately or with the Castle, and offers an additional 5 bedrooms/sleeping up to 15 guests.
The Unique Benefits at this Castle:
Anyone can stay in a hotel anywhere in the world ... but how many can stay in an authentic 600 year old castle in Ireland, to have it and enjoy it, all to themselves - whatever their occasion and this is exactly what we offer - a unique and special experience for everybody to enjoy.
