Clonmel Castle

Went on trip to see eclipse. I am from long island New York. I accidently booked this hotel in Canada. I called the owner, but she gave me the run around with canceling the reservation, so I had to drive there, we get there, and she gives us a room that was decent but not what we paid for. When I asked for the difference in price, she continue to lie through her teeth embarrassing herself. The place was nice but the owner with the blue hair wasn't. I can't recommend this place.

Clonmel Castle had the perfect location for our viewing of the solar eclipse with its expansive lawns on top of Prospect Hill, complete with a viewing party and live music hosted by the owner. Lynneee is the "chatelaine" of this beautiful 12,000 square foot mansion and is an attentive, witty, and charming hostess, as well as the chef. She made us feel welcome and comfortable during our stay. We rented the penthouse suite for six people, ourselves, our daughter and husband and two grandaughters. Our suite was very large with separate bedrooms for the adults and a draped-off sleeping area with a double bed for the children. The girls loved the space to play and we all loved the beautiful bathroom. We were able to prepare our own lunches in the kitchenette. Breakfast in the formal dining room was amazing. Lynneee treated us to delicious freshly cooked eggs benedict, perhaps the best I have ever had. We also had dinner at the castle which was a very large serving of roast beef and these amazing potatoes gratinees, and while seated in chippendale chairs. Except for the kitchen and office the entire main floor of the house is for use of guests. The house is very tastefully furnished with leather sofas and antiques appropriate to the period of the mansion's construction, 1929. The natural wood of the mansion has been beautifully preserved. The children loved the "throne room" complete with suits of armour. There is also a waterfall on a small river at the base of the hill which the children enjoyed. And of course there is the beach in Port Dover and the harbour with its fishing boats. Restaurants in the village are famous for fresh perch. We had a wonderful visit and will definitely return.

We found the castle to be quiet, romantic and welcoming. Our hosts were welcoming and quickly placed us at ease. They were very accommodating to our wants and needs and were able to make several recommendations about interesting things to see and do in the local area.

Lynnee was an amazing host. Always made sure we had what we needed and serves amazing pastries. Breakfast was also amazing. Highly recommended!!! This place is a must stay!!

Just came back from two nights at Clonmel Castle while visiting the Port Dover area. What a beautiful experience! The owner, Lynnee was wonderful to deal with and very accommodating. The breakfasts were delicious and the wine left in our fridge delicious. My friend and I had the ‘Renessance’room which was beautiful. The grounds are gorgeous and we enjoyed our wine on the swing. Would definitely recommend and will return. Thank you

Wonderful orientation and greeting by our Host. The accommodate was top notch. I'd recommend the Clonmel Castle to friends and family for sure.

Incredible service, excellent food and commutations, and a gorgeous historical home. If you are looking for a wonderful great away in this region, there is no better place to stay.

We stayed in Port Dover on the way back home from a trip through Ontario with family. Clonmel Castle has a lot of charm and we were greeted by our host with a plate full of savories and sweets and a bottle of wine, which was very nice. However, our room, though fairly big, has a "spa bathroom" that is very tiny - no shower curtain (part of the design of the wet room) and no room on sink to place anything. A bit of a surprise as we didn't see great detail in the description on the website - otherwise, we would have looked at booking another room. (If you don't mind using a common area facility, there is a bigger bathroom outside of all the rooms which anyone can access.) Also bed was up against a wall and we couldn't move it out, so one person didn't have easy access getting in and out.(There is another daybed in the room). Breakfast we had a minor mishap, (foreign object found in the food) but it was acknowledged and, overall, meal was tasty. Our travel mates had a room across the hall and it had a very large bathroom and plenty of space around the bed.

Could not have asked for a better experience at Clonmel Castle! The surrounding beauty of the area just added to our wonderful get away. From the moment we arrived Lynneee made us feel welcome, and cared for. Thanks for everything, we will see you again. Dan and Lisa
