My family and I stayed in Ross castle for 4 nights and we absolutely loved everything about it. The place was immaculate, and the grounds were fantastic. Something really different. With the tennis court, heated pool and table tennis there was always something to keep us occupied. Marshall our host was also amazing and helped with anything we needed. We cannot wait to return.

From the time we arrived we had a wonderful, fun, relaxing time. From my 6 year old nephew to my 86 year old mother there's plenty to do for everyone. The accommodation is great, plenty of space for everyone, and its spotless. Highly recommend it to everyone.

The setting was beautiful and we were made to feel very welcome. Most anything we asked for was provided but there was very limited supply of basics (mugs, waste bags etc) The house itself is very dated and we found it quite dusty. The pool was great however, there were no safety rails at all which was a little dangerous with children. It was also not clear when we could book pool times meaning that one other guest had booked prime slot for the entire stay.

Best Airbnb I've been to. Stayed here with a group of 12 friends for 3 nights and had a great time. Swimming pool, tennis court, snooker table, ping pong table, lake, and estate grounds were lovely and provided great entertainment. Definitely will return and recommend to others. Fantastic value and Marshall was a terrific host. No complaints.
