Clomantagh Castle is a fantastic space for a smallish group of friends or a family with older children. The castle comprises a Norman tower and newer, rustic-style dwelling - it’s all very Instagrammable for those who like that sort of thing. Additionally, the space is extremely liveable: well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, luxurious baths, and a surprising amount of warmth from the Rayburn, which heats the whole place. Our little bunch of friends were all very taken with the stylishness and comfort of Clomantagh.
The castle is close to Kilkenny and other places of interests but set far enough away to give you a true “lord of the manor” experience if, like us, you’re looking for privacy and a cosy spot for a lazy getaway. The shops are a drive away and you’ll probably need your own transport but once you get the cheeseboard and the champers in, you can settle back for a lovely short break. We would highly recommend this beautiful place.
