Castle Murray House

Marguerite Howley and Peter Lawler’s beautifully located clifftop property has wonderful sea and coastal views over the ruined castle after which it is named.

House wine €25. Specialising in groups. Guided walks. Cookery demonstrations. Closed Dec, Jan, Feb. Mastercard, Visa. abbreviations

Marguerite Howley and Peter Lawler’s beautifully located clifftop property has wonderful sea and coastal views over the ruined castle after which it is named. It is a comfortable and relaxing place to stay, with a little bar, a residents’ sitting room and a large decked terrace that can be covered with an awning in a good summer, so food may be served outside.


Most of the bedrooms have sea views and all are quite large with a double and single bed, recently refurbished bathrooms (some with full bath) and everything the traveller could need, including digital TV as well as phone and tea/coffee trays.


Each of the gently stylish bedrooms has its own style and all have a mixture of modern and older pieces that gives each room its own character. There's even a sunny area on the sheltered flat roof at the back of the building that has direct access from some bedrooms.


Although the once-famous restaurant no longer operates, Peter's delicious breakfasts and weekend dinner for residents are served in the seaward corner of the building overlooking the Atlantic and the castle (which is floodlit at night) where it used to be  - and the open fire is still there, now surrounded by a comfortable seating area.  


A very special place - and pet friendly too.
