The sad part is I met a cook on her way home exhausted after a 13 hour day. She knows good food I bet. But isn't allowed make or serve it based on what we had. Soup my wife had was ok. I had Cesar salad which was served on a plate so hot the server had to use a towel to carry it. Salad on a piping hot plate WTHeck. The salad itself was tasty but come on. My wife had the summer salad for mains. You think light fresh crisp with a lemon or citrus dressing. Well it was so covered with an oily dressing and loaded with feta she couldn't eat more than half. I ordered roast of the day on ciabatta with chips. ( Chips were like €4 Extra). Sandwich arrived literally as described.... Toasted ciabatta with thick slices of dried out roast beef and a few green lettuce leaves. No dressing at all. It was so dry I could only eat half. I asked for mustard they only had Dijon, I like Dijon, but not a whole ramakin of the stuff. The fries arrived late, piping hot, unsalted. No vinegar or ketchup. A glass of wine and two beers and I got no change from €55. Please guys do better. Food is easy. Service is about training. And food service is about selling.

I own my own catering business back home and have been in the hospitality industry for about half my life and I have never experienced such hospitality (and great food)!

The hotel is closed during the months of October through April, however, that depends on the weather.

The room that we are staying in has been remodeled very recently and is very currently decorated and large, especially for a European hotel. We are very pleased!

The lamb was smothered with delicious mashed potatoes and vegetables, and the vegetables tasted garden-fresh and were cooked to perfection! The servers were so warm and kind!

Please do yourself a favor and stay here...greet the cat as you walk in and take in the beautiful building.

I've stayed here with Jack & Ester three times, a total of 5 nights, over the last 5 years and…read morethree trips that I've visited Ireland. I make it a point to visit this quaint small Irish town on the Shannon and stay at the Old Castle House. If you really want to get the feel for the Irish people and Irish hospitality, you must stay in any one of the fine Irish B&B's and this one is on the Tops of my B&B Recommendations for the West of Ireland. Finally got to meet Ester in person this last time around when I made a point to be staying on my birthday, and happened to be spending time with another American couple who was also celebrating a birthday on the same day, and The Dunne's made it memorable. Jack and Ester have become like part of my Irish Family. The Accommodations are cozy and comfortable and always well kept. Don't come expecting the cold and impersonal feeling of a 4 or 5 star international hotel, but rather the warmth, personality and coziness of a well appointed and comfortable Irish home. Fresh Eggs in the morning supplied by the Dunne's Chickens accent a wonderful Irish Breakfast and it's always a treat to finish off the evening with a couple pints and a dram around the corner at the Dunne's Bar est in 1820 then take a short walk back to the B&B to settle in for a cozy night's sleep. Glin is a small town on the Shannon where you can just sit by the stream with some tea and relax or, if you're like me, makes a good base for any number of day trips in the SouthWest and West of Ireland...for instance: to the Ring of Kerry & Dingle Area about 1 hour or so south, Foynes Flying Boat Museum (where the Pan Am Flying Boats used to dock and where Irish Coffee was invented) just 15 minutes down the road, Limerick City and King John's Castle about 30 to 45 minutes further East, Bunratty Castle & Folk Park (a must visit...give yourself 2 to 3 hours minimum) about 1 hour around the eastern end of the Shannon then head up to the Cliffs of Moher (about another hour or so further) and back down the west Coast of Co. Clare as the sun sets... taking a Ferry Ride across the Shannon from Kilmer to Tarbert. Glin is quiet and the 2 pubs, Dunne's Pub being one of them, don't serve food so with only 2 take away places in town ask Jack & Ester for a recommendation to one of the nearby Restaurants...The Old Stand Bar & Restaurant in Shanagolden (about 20 minute ride) is very comfortable with a very good menu and a nice bar or Enright's in Tarbert is quaint with a nice menu that usually includes fresh fish...but get there early.

We were on tiny roads, nearly in the middle of nowhere. My husband spotted the sign "Trump International". We had no idea that it was out there. We turned around to check it out. As we entered the property we came to a little gate house. A nice looking man, came out to greet us. He asked if we were checking in. We told him we were just driving by. I was holding my breath, I thought he might tell us to turn around. To our absolute delight he smiled his fantastic smiled and said with a bit of a giggle "Just wanted to have a look see?" We said yes, that we just wanted to see it. He told us where to park and encouraged us to go upstairs to the restaurant "at least have a coffee while you're here". We looked about the incredibly maintained grounds. Checked out the back of the property. Looked over the pro shop. Then went upstairs to the restaurant bar. The bartender was VERY professional but also kind. When I asked him sheepishly if I could keep one of the little cloth coasters, he said sure and "take this too" as he tossed me a pen. We went back to the pro shop looking for a sweatshirt. The extremely gracious employee in the shop told me that they'd be in the gift shop. He said it was closed. He made a call and said "she's opening it up". Then he walked us through the property to take us to the gift shop. I love my sweatshirt. What a fabulous little surprise on our adventure.

Our unseen guest was a little playful. She kept knocking the tea mugs onto the floor when I was trying to make tea. I finally put them at the back of the table and blocked them in. In the morning while making tea and the mugs were protected our visitor pushed the remote control off the table. Just a little fun at me. Just glad there was nothing in the mugs. I heard there were Irish wolf hounds in residence but never saw them.
