This Castle was a very pleasant surprise. The grounds were lovely and clean. The people we met were so nice and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our dorm room was clean and the beds very comfortable. We did have trouble finding the Castle even with our GPS system. After about an hour of driving in circles, we stopped and... more

My boyfriend and I rented a car and drove across Ireland for 1 week. It was all in all wonderful experience - places, people, basically everything about Ireland - we love you Ireland!! To conclude our trip, we decided to stay at this castle hostel for our last night in Ireland. It was a bit hard for us to find... more

I am not going to write very much detail because I don't want to ruin the experience. I will mention that Foulksrath is not the best hostel I have stayed at, but by far not the worst. If you are looking for an adventure or a story to tell, this is the place for you. €14 for a night in... more

Stayed here in April and it was quite cold, but we were cozy enough in the dorm with the space heaters. Make sure you have food with you othewise its a drive into the next town.

Enjoyed our stay here. Cold night in April. No heat but space heater kept us warm on bottom bunks. Beautiful morning. Spacious kitchen, neat dining hall, beautiful grounds. Hostess and dog were very friendly. Very intriguing for this middle-aged woman! more

This is a cracker we place, and can't be bad for £10/15euro per person, per night. Its a gorgeous location and there's a free pool/lounge room near the bottom of the castle. One word of warning though. As the bunks are on the top floor of the castle, make sure you go to the loo before going to bed! The... more

We stayed here becuase we loved the idea of staying in a castle. It was certainly exciting to do that but we had a few problems. One, we had booked the reservation for a twin room and apparently there is a dispute between the owner of the hostel and the An Oige association that does its booking and the owner... more
