Seventeen members of our family from the US gathered at lovely Ross Castle for Christmas this year. The rooms are so beautiful and the hosts so gracious. The location is about 20 minutes outside of Galway City - far enough to feel very remote and close enough to get in and around easily. We went on day trips to the... More

We absolutely loved our stay here. It felt like I travelled through time and space and landed in heaven on earth. The castle is in fantastic shape and the grounds are breathtaking. The gardens are out of this world beautiful. I took so many pictures that I will be painting. Absolutely inspiring. Marshall and George are the kindest and most... More

22 members of the extended "Small" and "Fitzpatrick" families spent the second full week in Ireland using Ross Castle as our home base. The experience was extraordinary. Elizabeth, the lady of the estate, could not have been more accommodating. She was helpful in all respects, delightful to talk to and very informative when it came to the history of the... More

Just returned from a week-long stay at Ross Castle with 8 other family members. We rented Catherine's Cottage and the Gallery, but Elizabeth upgraded us to The Mews at no additional cost because an expected bathroom repair was not completed in time. The castle and grounds are lovely, with an expansive lawn that ends at the lake. The location is... More

We absolutely loved staying at Ross Castle. We were in Catherine's cottage. It had plenty of room. Very large bedrooms and living areas. Heated floors and towel racks were a nice touch. The grounds at Ross Castle were extraordinary. Beautiful gardens and a HUGE lawn! We loved walking around and exploring! The location is also great for visiting the Connemara... More

Awesome! Very quiet and peaceful base for our Ireland countyside day trips. Our hosts were great; knowledgeable, gracious and accomodating. Great, great spot. Our family (7 adults) would recommend it to anyone wanting a great Ireland countryside experience. Take a look at www.rosscastle.com

13 of us rented 4 of the "apartments" as self-catering, but arranged to have several dinners and every breakfast cooked for us. We arranged to have breakfast ready at 8am every morning and it was always on time, also dinners were all on time and excellent. The accommodations were nice and the property beautiful! The gardens and grounds are just... More

I stayed in Ross Castle with a group of friends in March last year and had a wonderful time. The owners were lovely - very welcoming and accomodating. They were very helpful in arranging our stay, arranging a minibus to bring us into Galway city (about 20 minutes' drive away) and recommending a lovely restaurant in Moycullen. We had rented... More

A group of 35 of us rented out the cottages for two nights in April on a bed and breakfast basis. We were all so excited to get there and experience the beautiful gardens and see what beauties the property had to offer. However we were all make very unwelcome there right from the begining. We were told the we... More
