So much history. What a gorgeously historic place. From the very unassuming drive in to knocking on the door and not knowing what to expect. Invited in by Sean who lives there and has restored the place over the last couple of decades. Sean is very knowledgeable about his history and is happy to share some great stories about the area and it's great to hear about the various entities and energies that still enhabit the place. You're free to roam around the upper floors on your own and your get a real sense of the castle for yourself. Seas was very welcoming and played some music for us while telling us about the history that surrounds the vast building. Definitely worth a visit i can't wait to go back when I have more time to roam around.

A lovely stone castle, steeped in history- lovely gardens - staff more than helpful and informative. We chanced on Roscrea en route from Dublin to Ennis and would definitely recommend a visit to the Castle.

This is a beautiful church ❤️ & the walks around the property is Devine. The waterfall was in full flow as we were in a spell of nothing but rain. A large amount of the stone to build the church was drawn from Templemore by horse & cart a distance of about 17 miles. This stone came from the Abbey a beautiful house owned by the Carden Family, which was burnt to the ground in 1922 while the family were in the UK. The Little Brosna river flows through the grounds.
