It's a property that understands the importance of both gracious hospitality and the restorative power of a beautiful landscape, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a tranquil escape with a touch of refined elegance.
Location
The Castle Oaks House Hotel is situated in the picturesque village of Castleconnell, directly on the banks of the majestic River Shannon. The estate itself, comprising 26 acres of manicured gardens and romantic woodland walks, provides an idyllic setting. It's a location that offers the serenity of riverside living, with numerous walking trails, including parts of the Lough Derg Cycleway, right on its doorstep. While offering a sense of seclusion, it's also conveniently located, a mere 45 km from Shannon Airport and a short drive from popular tourist attractions, making it an ideal base for exploring Ireland's Hidden Heartlands.
Style and Character
The heart of the hotel is a charming 18th-century Georgian manor house, meticulously restored to retain its historical character while incorporating modern comforts. The estate also offers unique self-catering accommodation in its Courtyard Suites. This thoughtful balance between period elegance and contemporary convenience creates an atmosphere of understated luxury. The grounds themselves, with award-winning gardens and dramatic riverside vistas, provide a romantic backdrop that feels both timeless and deeply rooted in its locale.

For active pursuits, there are tennis courts and a newly refurbished gym and pool complex, complete with a Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. Younger guests are well catered for with a dedicated children's playground and a seasonal kids club. The hotel also positions itself as a prime venue for business seminars, team building activities, and conferences, with a dedicated events team ready to coordinate bespoke requirements and offering a variety of motivational team-building options.

The hotel offers a range of accommodation, from classic bedrooms within the manor house to unique Courtyard Suites for self-catering. Classic bedrooms feature en-suite bathrooms, hairdryers, and tea and coffee-making facilities. While specific room categories like 'Suite' or 'Family Room' are mentioned, they generally provide a comfortable retreat with essential amenities. These rooms often include features such as heating, a sitting area, a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries, and in some cases, a kitchenette. The emphasis is on providing a comfortable and functional base, with an eye towards the views of the award-winning gardens and the riverside backdrop, particularly for memorable occasions.

Value for Money
The hotel offers packages that provide notable value, such as a two-night Bed & Breakfast stay inclusive of a River Cruise on Lough Derg for €230 per couple. This demonstrates a commitment to offering engaging experiences alongside accommodation and dining. The combination of extensive facilities, attractive grounds, and the inclusive nature of certain packages suggests a property that delivers a well-rounded and satisfying experience for its price point, particularly for those seeking a leisurely break enriched by local flavour and scenic beauty.
Accessibility
While specific details on wheelchair access and adapted rooms are not extensively detailed in the provided information, the hotel's Georgian origins might present inherent structural considerations. However, the presence of modern facilities like a gym and pool complex, alongside the range of accommodation options, suggests a capacity to cater to diverse guest needs.

The proximity to local attractions also makes it a practical choice for family days out.
“Recent feedback suggests that the property's quality has significantly improved, offering excellent rooms and services. I was particularly impressed by the spacious rooms and the delicious breakfast, notably the waffles. While the second-floor access via stairs might be a minor inconvenience, the beautiful grounds and overall experience make it a worthwhile stay, especially given its convenient location near Limerick City.”
