Ballindooley Castle is a historic fortress located in County Galway, Ireland. It is a striking example of a medieval tower house, a type of fortified dwelling commonly constructed by Irish nobility during the 15th and 16th centuries.
The castle stands proudly amidst a picturesque landscape, surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills. Its architecture showcases a rectangular structure with robust stone walls, small windows, murder holes, a dungeon, and defensive battlements. These design features reflect the castle's primary purpose of providing protection and security during a tumultuous era.
Inside Ballindooley Castle, visitors would find multiple floors connected by a spiral staircase that winds its way up through the core of the building. The interior is characterized by sturdy stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and remnants of original architectural elements, capturing the essence of its historical significance.
The castle's entrance is guarded by a formidable wooden door, leading to a ground-level hall that served as a communal area for daily activities. As one ascends the spiral staircase, various rooms would be discovered on different levels, including bedrooms, a great hall for dining and entertainment, a kitchen, and potentially a chapel.
Ballindooley Castle boasts a rich and captivating history. It has borne witness to power struggles, withstood sieges, and provided shelter for numerous noble families throughout the centuries. Within its walls, countless stories and secrets lie hidden, waiting to be discovered.

Summary: Our party of 6 stayed in this fabulous castle lovingly cared for by an exceptional host. Barry welcomed us into this amazing piece of 1400's history, and we loved every moment. If you get a chance to

Summary: This was a unique and interesting property. We enjoyed the experience and the owners have done an amazing job of updating the interior while still maintaining the originality. However - it is NOT conducive for older people or anyone with mobility issues. The stairs are no joke!

Neil P. Apr 30, 2025 09:12:19 PM

Summary: We found the following issues that had not been addressed prior to our arrival. The kitchen was a wreck:-The garbage can was full of trash and rotten food. It smelled terrible. -The garbage can lid was smeared with old dried food. -The French Press had mold and sludge in the bottom along with coffee grounds -The tea pot had dried grounds in the bottom and the inside was black. -The service wear in the drawers was streaked with grease. Apparently someone had tried to clean them with cold water. -The rug in the kitchen was dirty and stained. -The refrigerator had not been wiped out and there were open condiment bottles that were old and out of date. -The olive oil was rancid Bedroom:The single bed in the master had mold stains and smelled musty. Great room:The table was covered with dust. Family room:-The coal fireplace was full of old ash from many uses. -There were old, burned down and useless candles all over the place. Bathroom:The tile floor was very gritty and had obviously not been cleaned. Heating systemTwo of the radiant heaters were old, rusted and inoperable, contributing to the castle being cold and damp. Outside All of the trash containers were full of old garbage. As a result of the above, we were forced to move out after two days of the seven that we paid for. When we questioned the host, his response was ‘l have never had this issue’, although a review of previous posts also addressed some of these issues.

Summary: Host was very communicative and left a lovely gift basket for us when we arrived. It's a true castle so don't expect modern luxury, but there's much to explore and a lot of history. Our group enjoyed our stay and learning about the previous occupants.

Bob J. Oct 28, 2024 04:52:32 PM

Summary: Staying at this Castle was a highlight of our trip. It has been updated with comforts as much as possible. We had a nice warm stay. This is a true standing castle rich with history. Perfectly located outside galway. Barry was an excellent and resposive host. I think he was just as exciting for us as we were to stay. I omly dinged cleanliness because its an ancient castle. If dust in the corners isn't expected, this is not the place for you. Book It!

Summary: Barry was an amazing host. When we arrived he gave us a tour to show us the smaller details of the property and explain some of the history - we loved the tour. The experience was so much fun. The property was well stocked with everything you need, kitchen was well stocked to host a dinner. Bathroom and laundry supplies were there to use. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Galway and recommend Ballindooley to anyone looking for a unique experience.
