The Castle
More from visitors like you
The Castle in Castletownshend is a special place steeped in history, and home to the 11th generation of the Townshend family. The Castle is set in 90 acres of grounds to explore on the water’s edge, and is a great base to discover West Cork.

Castle Townshend has been the seat of the Townshend family in Ireland for many generations. The centre part of the building was built around 1650 and the towers added in 1800's. The original Castle ruin can be found in the spacious grounds and St Barrahanes church, with Harry Clarke stained glass windows, is always open to be explored.

Stay in one of the seven guest bedrooms, full of character, but with modern facilities. Relax here and enjoy the peace and tranquillity, getting away from it all.

The village of Castletownshend is centred around the steep main road that leads down to the Castle, the quayside and the harbour. The pub in the village Mary Ann's serves food all day, so enjoy your evening meal here.

A warm welcome awaits guests at Castle Townshend.
