Staying at an Irish Castle
We truly got the feel of the Irish countryside by staying here. It is very rural but was a great center point for us as we traveled to different towns and castles in the are. The home accommodated our large family of adult children and grandchildren. Loved the backyard for several pick up soccer games! Anthony and Eileen were very responsive to questions. Great place to stay with a large group or family.

Amazing family party
We had my husbands 50th birthday at Killaghy Castle with some family and friends and had an amazing time. We all LOVED the space and Marie, Eileen and Anthony were just so helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend staying here, so spacious and grounds are beautiful.

Wonderful Retreat!
We had an amazing time at this awesome castle with comfortable accommodations for our large group of family and friends ranging in age from 25 to 82 years old! We had an awesome time getting to know many Mullinahone locals, loved the local pub write down the street, loved the area (several local hiking spots and many other day trip options from biking, to several historical sites) ... so much to do and such a beautiful setting. Also hired a chef for a birthday dinner at the castle! Amazing time! GPS was a little wonky getting to the castle ... but a quick call to the Host squared us away!

Texans live Royally
Eileen and Anthony are amazing hosts! Our time was short and fast paced so coming home to a castle every night was wonderful. Everything we needed was ready and waiting for us. The kitchen is grand and the grounds just immaculate. I could live my days at Killaghy and spend my nights at TJ Macs in Mullinahone as long as I was blessed to be on this earth. Do not pass up the chance to live like royalty!

Family Time
Our party of 14 + dog had a fantastic stay in your beautiful property. The check in process was really simple. The provision of homemade scones and jam made us feel immediately welcome. Property was large with very comfortable beds, bathrooms, a large sitting room, dining room and kitchen. All necessities provided. The outdoor space was amazing, beautiful walled garden and patio with seating and barbecue. We were so lucky with the weather and dined outside on 3/4nights. Great playground at the grand entrance. Lots to do within an hour’s drive. In conclusion a wonderful stay for our family reunion to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

Magical! Exactly what we needed!
A group of friends went to Mullinahone to celebrate my 50th birthday. I couldn't imagine a better place to relax. The castle was fabulous. Plenty of space. Very comfortable. Wonderful kitchen. Beautiful scenery. The town was just as welcoming. We spent each evening enjoying the hospitality of TJ Mac's Pub and then took the short walk back to the castle. Everyone in the town was so kind and went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome. I hated to leave!!!! I can't say enough nice things about the accommodations and the residents of this amazing Irish community. Thank you thank you thank you for making my birthday so special!!!

The Most Incredible Stay!
We arrived after an overnight flight, and several hours of driving to find a fire laid and wine on the table. We traveled with my mom, a friend, my adult son, and my teen daughter. Our plan was a small vow renewal in the foyer, but as luck would have it, there was an absolutely beautiful walled garden with beautiful greenery and an immense pine tree. Our local friends couldn't resist a stay and we ended up with a full house. My friends loved the huge kitchen, it was the perfect location to laugh and host everyone. We snuggled into the front room with a fire on multiple nights. We had a grand time exploring the area and can't say enough about the home, area, hosts, neighbors...just everything. We are completely in love with Ireland. Also, my husband has become a bird lover in just five days.

Killaghy Castle A+++++!
We had a family group of 12 adults and 6 children. Everyone loved the castle! It was so beautiful and so comfortable, everyone felt right at home. We traveled a lot during our stay and took a day to decompress and relax at the castle. Everyone thought that was one of the highest points. The walled garden was perfect for the kids to kick around a soccer ball while we grilled out. Maria was available but we had everything we needed to make for a dynamite stay. Thank you , Maria, again for everything especially for arranging our don’s birthday cake.

Best ever
We had an excellent time at the castle! It is so spacious we were never in each other’s way and we had 20 related and unrelated individuals there! It is lovely but not so upscale that you’re afraid to sit down or touch anything- it felt like home. We made dinner each night - it was a very workable kitchen- Edward Obrien the butcher in town could not have been nicer! The best part for us was we could be in an historic building in a fairly damp country in the spring and not one of my highly allergic guests had a bit of trouble- I’m was so pleased! I could not recommend this stay more- thanks!

My family ( 13) celebrated my husband and I 50th Anniversary at this lovely farm. The hosts, Pat & Marie were so gracious and friendly. Everything about our stay from the owners of T J Mack's Pub, local pizza and grocery just added more to our favorite memories of this enchanting country. Can't wait for a return visit.

The Collins family are fabulous hosts. The castle was very clean and well appointed. It was perfect!
The home is well located in central Ireland. It is a nice small village. The Pubs are in easy walking distance. There is a really nice play ground just outside the castle with activities for children of varing ages. Our family had a great time and we will be back. There is a very nice garden with a wide lawn area just made for a celebration. We are thinking it would be a great spot for our nieces wedding

Marie and Pat ensure that you are welcomed and comfortable in this home away from home.
Situated in central County Tipperary, the Castle is a tranquil retreat that your family or group can relax in or escape to. It also accomdates activity outings to Roch of Cashel, Cahir Castle, Kilkenny Castle or Warerford City. Our multi-generation family appreciated the Castle's historical character and comforts of modern life, as well as the ample living space and outdoor room to run and play for children (ages 6 - 15) in the expansive walled garden. We would return again and again.

Beautiful quiet spacious home
Killaghy Castle was a wonderful place for our family vacation. We enjoyed the location and the home was comfortable with plenty of space for all 19 of us. The nearby village was charming and friendly. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The country setting was beautiful and extremely quiet. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone and the living room and dining room had seating for all of us. Marie was extremely helpful in answering questions and helping us organize our activities. She even arranged for a birthday cake so we could celebrate while we were there. She was not in our space but was available when we needed her for questions.

Clint W., Tulsa, Oklahoma

Very nice cooking area, but the house was not clean for most preferences.
The area was beautiful. Flies, webs, and insect nests were on drapery, and prolific everywhere. The master-bedroom even had mold on the drapes. The main area set-in showers were extremely small. One of the two larger (newer) showers was not usable, as it leaked to the floor below, an apparent problem before we arrived because a rug was hanging outside the window. No one was readily available to attend immediate issues, though family was staying in an apartment on the property. Fortunately, I was able to figure out where the fuse box was when one was tripped when a bulb hanging uncovered (there were others just hanging from wires) was broken. Of the 11 in our group, everyone was disappointed in the condition of the house, though the land/nature was lovely.

A must for your family vacation!
Killaghy Castle lived up to expectations and surpassed others! Marie walcomed our family (10 of us) and was so gracious and helped us wiyh anything we needed! The castle is spacious with plenty of room for a large family and extremely comfortable. The grounds are breathtaking. We walked up to a local pub and the owner was also very welcoming. There is a local convenience store in walking distance from the castle. My brother has been to Ireland several times and said Killaghy Castle was one of his favorite locations! Highly recommend!
