Ester greeted us with an offer of tea or coffee and biscuits, showed us the comfortable room with the marvelous antique furniture - including a glass-fronted wardrobe. View out the room window was of their new greenhouse, bicycle, and acres of... More

We were greeted with tea on our arrival by Ester and shown upstairs to our beautiful room filled with antiques. The site includes a creek, gardens, new tree plantings and a wonderful green view of the old castle bridge. The house is within easy walking of the main part of town. We walked uptown to eat and then stopped in... More

My friends and I stayed at the Old Castle House on our way from the Dingle Peninsula to Galway. I had booked the reservation because I was fascinated by the Old Castle structures nearby, but we were disappointed to find out that we could not actually enter and explore. We also found that there weren't really any restaurants nearby for... More

Typical traditional Irish home, like staying with your relations. Ester and Jack are warm, friendly and helpful. The breakfast is wonderful, as much as you could eat, then a bit more. Spotlessly clean room, flexible arrangements, Irish hospitality at its best.

We have recently returned from our first trip to Ireland to celebrate our 25th anninversary. Glin and the Old Castle Inn was our last stop after 10 days and what a treat it was! The inn was impeccable and we were surrounded by charming antiques. The property is so picturesque and we could hear the stream from our bedroom windows... More

Our room was delightful and comfortable and we enjoyed a wholesome Irish breakfast which set us up for the day touring the beautiful Shannon Estuary. When we revisit Glin we plan... More

My husband and I stayed here for a night on our way from southern Ireland to northern Ireland. The people who run it are wonderful and so warm and welcoming. They were very flexible with us, and the breakfast was amazing. The house and grounds are stellar, very beautiful. I would stay here again!
