BRADSHAW'S in Castleconnell

08/02/2026: Castle Oaks House Hotel, located along the banks of the River Shannon near Limerick, is a charming country estate that blends old-world elegance with modern comfort. The property is set amid beautifully landscaped gardens, creating a peaceful and scenic atmosphere perfect for relaxation or romantic getaways. The main building retains its period character, with antique furnishings, high ceilings, and plenty of cozy corners to sit and unwind. Rooms are comfortable and spacious, some offering river or garden views. While the décor leans traditional, the amenities are well-maintained, and the beds are comfortable. The on-site restaurant serves hearty Irish breakfasts and well-prepared evening meals that highlight local ingredients, while the bar is a great spot for a quiet pint or afternoon tea.

27/01/2026: Having visited a few hotels over the years this hotel must rank as our number one establishment for friendliness and attention to detail. From the moment we arrived our receptionist Stephanie greeted us warmly and made us feel at home, engaging us in delightful banter, regaling us about the local area and the facilities available in the hotel. Her beautiful personality and genial demeanor set the tone for a most pleasurable weekend at the cradle of the Shannon. The following morning our breakfast host Maggie treated us like royalty, serving up a sumptuous breakfast fit for kings. That evening we dined there for supper. Josephine was the evening host who greeted us with a cordial smile and a menu dripping with mouth watering mains and tempting desserts. When she announced bacon and cabbage was the days special, I felt I had zoned out, i was on a cloud destined for heaven. Afterwards we adjourned to our rooms, ascended the breathtaking stairway and strode the corridors paved with plush carpets and olde worlde charm. One of our best, authentic experiences ever. Big shout out to Stephanie, Maggie and Josephine, a trio of employees any hotel would be very proud of indeed. Thank you Castle Oaks House Hotel.
