If you are looking for
castles to rent in Ireland,
Ballyhannon Castle in County Clare is a
magnificent medieval vacation rental (Irish 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
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. |
Also known as Castlefergus, it
is registered as a “Listed/Protected” property in the Irish
Governmental records, meaning that it is intrinsically of
significant historic, architectural and aesthetic interest.
The fortunate fact that the private owner has opened up this
historic fortress as an Irish vacation rental / self catering
castle allows anyone to exclusively rent a castle in Ireland
for their 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.

For those of you who don’t
wish to compromise on all of your present day comforts
when they rent a castle in Ireland, all modern
conveniences and appliances have been sensitively and
discreetly incorporated into this 600 year old castle!
That said, it must be emphasised that this is a 15th
century castle in every other sense.
By really what is historic
coincidence, of all the castles to rent in Ireland this
property is exceptionally well located for 21st century
visitors to Irish shores. It is strategically and
conveniently at the heart of the west coast of Ireland.
It is beside Shannon International airport for those
travelling to Ireland from abroad, yet in a rural
setting within its own territorial stone-walled
perimeter surrounded by farmland, and overlooks the
Shannon Estuary leading to the Atlantic ocean. It is at
the end of a long private avenue (cul-de-sac). From the
privacy and serenity of this garrisoned Irish castle, it
is an ideal focal point from which to explore the wild
natural beauty of the west of Ireland.
Located between Bunratty Castle & Folk Park and the
Aillwee Caves, the Castle is at the heart of traditional
Ireland. Chosen by many for special family occasions and
gatherings, the exclusive privacy of this vacation
rental castle accommodation especially offers peace and
tranquillity to those who want to rent an Irish castle
to simply have “time out”, and its prime location in
Quin, County Clare means that it is adjacent to all
attractions for those with a taste for exploring the
real traditional Ireland.
