What a jewel of a find. We stumbled onto the Castle Hotel on our way from Killarney to Cork. It’s in the cutest town, off the beaten tourist path. The town had just hosted a music festival and the streets were still colorfully decorated from the weekend of music. The hotel is a little old but has a historic feel with all you could need —a working air conditioning unit, a comfortable bed (we like our mattress a little firm), USB ports to charge our phones, towel warming rack in a marble bathroom. The hotel staff are warm and friendly, as were the locals we met at dinner. We had a very delicious meal at the Dan Buckley Bar and Restaurant attached. There weren’t a lot of dining options in this small town, especially since we got to town late, but were pleased we could still have a warm meal at 8 pm in this quiet town. The hotel also has a cafe where I had the best scone I tried in Ireland. Macroom is in a central spot if you want to avoid the tourist traffic and within an easy drive to the southern coastal towns, Ring of Kerry and the Blarney Castle. We loved our short time here and on a future trip would stay longer and use as our home base for the region.
