In the bucolic Glen of Aherlow, there are two happy little dogs named Mabel and Sandy that live beside a magnificent castle, spending long summer days running along the property’s lush green hiking trails, watching cows pass by, and welcoming the lucky guests that find respite at Aherlow Castle. Their owners, Freda and Declan, are thoughtful and kind. Their castle is charming, comfortable, and spacious. The grounds are gorgeous, the views are breathtaking. Life at Aherlow is magical.
We spent 4 nights here on a family trip to Ireland and we truly loved our time at Aherlow Castle. The castle is rented to one party at a time, there are no other guests staying there. It’s literally a private castle (!) and as an extended family of 7, we found it to be a convenient and affordable alternative to staying in a hotel. The hosts, Freda and Declan (and their pups) live in a separate building on the property and are especially mindful of guests’ needs and also their privacy. They are the perfect hosts, and their friendly little dogs Mabel and Sandy made our trip extra special!
The home is well stocked with everything you need, and the kitchen is massive and has every modern amenity. There are 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths, and plenty of living spaces to spread out and relax.
Freda was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole process, from booking through check out. We could not be happier with our stay!
