As a castle rental in
Ireland, Ballyhannon Castle
is a magnificent medieval Irish vacation rental
(self-catering) celtic castle dating back to the 15th
century. It is one of the last remaining intact
medieval Irish castles, and although it is now
privately owned, the current owner has opened it up as
an Irish vacation rental / self catering castle for
hire for all to enjoy, and to experience how our Irish
ancestors lived in the 1400’s. It’s secluded though
central location in Ireland has made it one of the
most sought after venues for medieval
|
|
Irish castle weddings and
events, or for anyone who simply wants to rent a castle
in Ireland as an Irish self catering vacation rental.
|
Ballyhannon Castle (also known
as Castlefergus) is registered as a “Listed/Protected”
property and a “Recorded Monument” in the Irish Governmental
Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government,
meaning that it is intrinsically of significant historic,
architectural and aesthetic interest. The fortunate fact that
the private owner has opened up this national monument as an
Irish vacation rental / self catering castle allows anyone to
exclusively rent a castle in Ireland for their medieval
wedding, honeymoon, family reunion or other milestone, or just
to have the unique experience of staying in a castle with no
one other than the members of one’s own group.

|
Of the celtic medieval
castles to rent in Ireland which are similarly
available for exclusive vacation rental, there are
very few which are equally as externally and
internally intact despite the ravages of time.
Ballyhannon Castle is also quite unique in its
internal and external original preservation and
design, and one of the only authentic medieval Irish
Castles for rent which are still in use just as it was
nearly 600 years ago, now as a self catering vacation
rental castle in
Ireland.

Rather than observing
history from the outside (passively, like passing
through a museum), you can rent an historic Irish castle
and experience medieval Ireland of many centuries ago by
actually staying in the castle, and thereby
interactively living in that medieval era. It has been
carefully furnished with antiques to maintain that
experience and, oh yes, cobwebs!
Upon entering the medieval
entrance arch of Ballyhannon, visitors to the Castle
have, almost without exception, described their first
impression as: “if having just stepped from a time
machine, an immediate sense of having been transported
back in time through turbulent centuries of Irish
history. The impact of this rare and authentic castle’s
historic appeal and significance is literally instant.
Six-feet thick battle-impenetrable walls, winding spiral
stone staircase, oak-beamed ceilings and flagstone
floors will offer you this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to experience how they lived back in 1490
when Ballyhannon Castle was built.”

For those of
you who don’t wish to compromise on all of your present day comforts, all
modern conveniences and appliances have been sensitively and discreetly
incorporated into this 600 years old castle! That said, it must be
emphasised that this is a 15th century castle in every other sense. |
