Castle Hacket is a beautiful and historically rich B&B. From the moment you drive through the front gate you feel as if you’ve traveled back to the mid-17th century.
Bedroom suites: High ceilings with classy and extremely cozy furniture. Tall and elegant windows allow for an abundance of natural light (with charming views of the courtyard and lush green landscapes scattered with sheep).
Library: Countless shelves with an endless supply of books, games, and DVD’s to view in the entertainment room. There is also a table with a marble chess set (a very nice touch and we personally enjoyed it).
Entertainment Room: Features a large cabinet fully stocked with various glasses for wine, whisky, ales, etc. A cozy arrangement of couches, coffee table, TV/DVD player, and a wood burning stove for a fire to keep you warm (plenty of logs).
Dining Room: Plenty of tall windows with natural lighting, nostalgic furniture and decor. Assortment of granolas, pastries, biscuits, home made jams, coffee, tea, and traditional Irish breakfast. After your meal you can retire by another wood burning stove and fire, sip tea, and plan your morning hike (which is only 100 meters up the road) up Knockma Hill.
Knockma Hill: Around 2.4 kilometers with various routes, gently uphill. The summit views are panoramic and breath-taking. Weather is unpredictable, and we experienced sunshine, rain, wind, and hail (pea size). The views and experience are well worth it.
One night is definitely not enough!
