About this property

A Medieval Bolt-Hole in a Castle.

Our vaulted apartment is part of a 14century Castle! Tucked away in rolling meadows with only birdsong to rouse you. We're in the Castle over 25 years & know the locality well.Fishing, swimming, horse riding, historic tours & not forgetting music, craic & great company. It's all here waiting for you!

The space
It's a genuine Medieval building, packed with history in a very ancient part of Ireland. But guess what ? Dublin is 15 mins toll to the toll from Navan!

Guest access
You will have a lovely garden to the front and the entire Bolt hole is yours exclusively! We're all keen cooks here & with a little arm twisting we will cook a casserole/bake/ roast supper with a pud & salads 25€ pp.

Other things to note
We hand over the Apartment in good order and would like it back in good order.
For entertainment, guests can expect to find TVs. Other amenities include kitchens, washing machines, and patios. Housekeeping is available on request.

We had a lovely stay. The history of the castle is impressive! It was perfectly located to explore this historic region. The country setting also added to our desire to relax and disconnect. Sue and her husband were delightful, full of great anecdotes. Hope to return!

Charming and quirky 14th century building with modern upgrades. Location is great, we enjoyed n excursion to New Grange. Hosts were very responsive. The kitchen has minimal utensils if you plan to cook.

Cosy accommodation

The wood burner adds to the welcoming appeal of the bolt hole, which provided comfortably accommodation for my wife and I, along with our Irish Water Spaniels. This was our second visit to Durhamstown Castle and we'd certainly stay again.

Leider wusste keiner etwas von unserer Ankunft und es musste erst rumtelefoniert werden. Der Gutsbesitzer war sehr nett und man konnte sich gut mit ihm unterhalten. Die Unterkunft ist recht feucht, was aufgrund des Alters der Gemäuer nicht erstaunlich ist, aber es lief ein Luftentfeuchter, der auslief. Das Geschirr war teilweise schimmlig, sodass ein großer Teil abgewaschen werden musste, bevor man es nutzen konnte. Leider ging der vorhandene Geschirrspüler nicht an. Sobald man den Stecker wieder in die Steckdose gesteckt hat, nachdem man den Geschirrspüler erstmal unter der Arbeitsplatte hervorgezogen hat, und das Programm startete, kam die Sicherung und er lief aus. Daher musste ich das schimmlige Geschirr mit Hand abwaschen. Wir hatten für zwei Erwachsene und drei Kinder gebucht. Es gab nur 2 bezogene Doppelbetten. Ein 5. Bett war nicht vorbereitet. Alles in allem war es eine Erfahrung, aber ich würde nicht nochmal dort buchen.
