The East Tower is the result of four years of careful renovations undertaken to add to the accommodation without changing the style or atmosphere of the castle.

This building can sleep up to 10 people in 5 bedrooms and is very well appointed with all modern conveniences and comforts.

Approaching the castle up the 3/4 mile long avenue you will swing to the right as you approach and enter through an archway to  a private courtyard with a wonderful fountain in the centre and  encircled by the stone walls and buildings, some dating back to the Norman times in Ireland.

There are magnificent stone steps leading to the front door. Inside is a bright welcoming hallway with classic black and white tiles. To your left are the cloakrooms and to your right the delightful dining room with beautiful old pine floor, and vast curved windows with a view of the Norman Tower House. The dining table can seat up to 14 and for functions a second table can be added.

The Kitchen is large, stylish, and modern, but with a flagstone floor and  a table that seats 12 . It has an American style fridge freezer with ice maker, a cooking range with gas hob and electric ovens, and two dishwashers.

There are stainless steel worktops on the surfaces and black granite surrounds the cooker. There is also a wine cooler. The underfloor heating keeps the room warm and welcoming all day. The kitchen door leads out onto a large patio facing west with barbeque and herb garden. It is a lovely area to sit on a sunny evening.

Upstairs the huge living room is elegantly and comfortably furnished. It has a large TV and a stereo system.

Downstairs there is an amazing basement  room, which we call the "pub" although its up to you to stock it with beverages! It features stone walls built on to the foundation rocks hewn from the limestone hill on which the castle stands. A great room for a party! It has a solid oak medieval style castle door leading to a private garden.

The bedrooms are accessed by a beautiful wide spiral staircase which stretches from the first floor up to the 4th. floor roof area.
