A small Roscommon market town on the River Suck, home to the ancestral seat of the O’Conor Don.
Castlerea is a market town in west Roscommon, built along the River Suck, with a name that translates roughly as “brindled castle” or “castle of the king.” It is a modest, workaday town, but it holds one genuinely remarkable property on its edge: Clonalis House, the ancestral home of the O’Conor Don, descendants of Cathal Crobhdearg and, further back, of Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair, the last High King of Ireland.
For a B&B in Castlerea, Clonalis is the reason to stop: the current Victorian house, built in 1878, holds an archive of over 100,000 manuscripts along with the harp of the eighteenth century composer Turlough O’Carolan. Beyond that, the town works well as a quiet base for exploring the small towns and lakes of west Roscommon.

Booking Armcashel B&B direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Armcashel B&B holds a 3-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.
