“We had an amazing time! What a one of a kind celebration in a lifetime to remember magical and mystical spot. From the day we walked in to the day we are leaving the castle changes and sparkles with some new surprise. We even had some ghastly ghostly experiences! We were so grateful for your complete hospitality, the “Springfield Team” was wonderful and made us feel like Irish royals living on this beautiful farm. The Mac Donald clan.”
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 25 people. The Kitchen is large, stylish, and modern, but with a flagstone floor and a table that seats 12. 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 and a fire pit. It is a lovely area to sit on a sunny evening. Upstairs the huge living room is elegantly and comfortably furnished. It has WIFI access. Downstairs there is an amazing basement room, which we call the “pub” although it’s up to you to stock it with beverages! We can supply with your own keg of Guinness. 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.
