Claim this listingStaying in Kildare
The county town of Kildare, built around a fifth century monastic site and now known just as well for horses.
Kildare town grew up around the monastery St Brigid founded here in the fifth century, and that history is still visible at its centre: St Brigid’s Cathedral, largely rebuilt in the nineteenth century, stands beside a tenth century round tower, the second tallest in Ireland at around 33 metres, which visitors can climb for a view over the town and the surrounding plains.
Those plains are the Curragh, a stretch of open lowland grassland that has shaped the town’s other identity as a centre of Irish horse racing and breeding. The Irish National Stud, in Tully on the edge of town, has bred thoroughbreds since 1900 and includes the Japanese Gardens, laid out to represent the journey of a life from cradle to grave, alongside St Fiachra’s Garden.
For a B&B in Kildare town, that combination of heritage and horses makes for an easy few days: the Curragh Racecourse itself, home to all five Irish Classic races including the Irish Derby, is about fifteen minutes away, and the town’s own streets, cathedral and market house are all walkable from the centre.

Booking Castleview Farm direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Castleview Farm holds a 4-star b&b rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
