Stay, dine and celebrate inside history.

A 15th century castle on the outskirts of Galway City. A truly unique setting with boutique rooms, seasonal dining and nooks and crannies full of old stories.

The CASTLE

Old world character, family hospitality and a stone's throw from Galway City.

Cloonacauneen Castle is a 15th century castle on the outskirts of Galway City. We are surrounded by countryside but very easy to reach from the city and the main routes into Galway.

The castle carries five centuries of history. We are a family-run business, meaning you will get warm hospitality, old stories and a personal experience. It's full of charm, lived-in, and genuinely unlike anywhere else in Galway.

Whether you're here for a wedding, Sunday lunch or a night away  you'll leave with the feeling that the setting made it.
