The house was fabulous, the history amazing and the hosts couldn't have done more for us.We were three generations (12 of us) travelling to show the grandchildren the wonders of their grandfather's homeland and the Castle House at the Barracks was a perfect base for our stay in this part of Ireland. It was close enough to many of the things that we wanted to see, from Bunratty Castle, the Aran Islands, Craggaunowen, the Cliffs of Mohar and the seaside. Thanks so much Marion.

We had the most amazing time at this property. Marion was so easy to work with and showed us all around the property. We loved the short walk down to the food and pubs in Clarecastle and everything about the house was magical. I would HIGHLY recommend this house for a large group. Plenty of space for each couple and each bedroom having it's own bathroom was awesome. We would love to come back again!

The home and castle complex are outstanding and have been restored to beyond its original glory. The 8bedroom en suite home is beautifully decorated and was very comfortable for our group of 6 adults and 7 children aged 15-19. The location is very convenient for day trips to all of the tourist sites in the south, southwest and west. Damien, who is available as a concierge, chef and fisherman is exceptional and I would highly recommend him. He cooked Irish breakfasts, dinners, shopped for groceries, brought us on a fishing trip to lough Derg and even went so far as to source a replacement screw for my mother’s walker! The owners Gerry and Marian were excellent. We got personal tours of the old army barracks and even the castle which is undergoing splendid renovations. You will not be disappointed by this experience! Dermot More O’Ferrall

Our family of 11 truely enjoyed our stay at the Barricks for 7 days. The large fully stocked kitchen dining area enabled us the cook and eat as a family and enjoy each evening as a large group. Having washer and dryer with our group was great. The internet WIFI was great. I would recommend to anyone traveling to Ireland who wants to enjoy the country and their stay while visiting, this is definitely the place to stay.

Clare Castle was the perfect home for our dream family vacation to Ireland. Marion was very gracious and readily available for anything we needed and even greeted us on arrival to give us a tour and history of the house! The house was very beautiful, spacious and quite comfortable with its eight bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and large kitchen and eating area for family meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Clare Castle and would not hesitate to stay there again and we highly recommend it to others!
