This is a great place to stay for families and groups.

We loved staying at the Pub. The pool table was great and they had lots of games. It is a small town- one restaurant (it was not serving food), two bars and a gas station/grocery store. You have to be prepared to drive to Killarney or other towns for meals and sites.

Quaint pub atmosphere and plenty of room

Came to Castlemaine with family members of six, and had family from Abbeyfeale come down for some games and picture album viewing. It was the perfect location with lots of room for us to have a great time full of laughter and craic.

Jack Duggins Pub

Great Pub VRBO. My family couldn't believe we really had the entire pub! Snooker table a bit torn up and new cues are definitely needed but we still had fun. Plenty of room to spread out for the 9 of us. The beds were very comfortable.

Family Vacation

Enjoyed the convenience to Dingle, Killarney National Park (horseback riding), Killarney and the Ring of Kerry.WiFi did not work which limited use of the bar area and music/tv’s. Host were informed on Day 1 but no improvement (effort) was made to fix it Day 2.The novelty of Jack Duggans was unique but the house had a musty smell and could use freshening.

Great time at the pub!

Very nice and clean property. Nice beds. Lots of room. Strong showers and modern bathrooms. Great location to sightseeing and several cute towns nearby with good food. Across the street from a nice little convenient store and a very good restaurant. The pub space on the first floor is a terrific gathering place. Washer and dryer and hairdryer were very much appreciated.

Excellent stay to accommodate a large group

We had such a wonderful time at Jack Duggans! The establishment was clean and perfectly situated for our group of 9. The neighborhood was so fun and the people are incredibly friendly. Our communication with the property owners/management was exceptional. So pleased with our stay- may be the highlight of our trip so far. Thank you, all. Cheers!

All about character

This rental is exactly as advertised. The property itself is a little tired *but* having your own bar is the absolute coolest and the owners have really gone out of their way to make it comfortable and homey. The beds were super comfortable, the bathrooms were modern, and the pub makes it all worthwhile either way. This was hands down our kids' favorite place we stayed. The village is quite small but it's a good location for exploring the Dingle peninsula and you can't beat having your own pub! Definitely recommend.

Such a unique place

What a fun experience! We were looking for unique places to stay while exploring the Dingle Peninsula and nearby Killarney and found it at Jack Duggan’s. The upstairs apartment is quite large and can accommodate a large family easily. The bedrooms are comfortable and we had everything we needed during our stay. What a fun experience to have our “own pub” to feel the history of the place. Castlemaine is small, so there aren’t a lot of walkable eating options, but there are a few a short drive away. The local store owner was very helpful and friendly. It was a fun experience and one we will remember.

The Pub in the Hub

The place was in a great location if you want to be out of the a city with close proximity to Killarney, Dingle peninsula and Cliffs of Kerry. 15 minutes to Killarney, 10 to Killorglin, 15’to the beach. The house/pub itself is quite comfortable with everything you need. Great for a group of guys on a trip together The biggest drawback is that while Castlemaine itself is quite small, there is a lot of traffic that passes right by the house, so sleeping in can be tough if you are a light sleeper.

Enjoyed a couple of days sightseeing

We stayed at jack duggan pub. It was clean, comfortable and spacious accommodation and really fun to have the bar. On a busy road so some traffic noise but with windows closed it was fine. The house is well stocked, our host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any queries. We went to the griffin for a nice pub dinner one night and the staff there were fabulous.

Schönes Apartment mit viel Platz und eigener Bar

Das Apartment ist schön und bietet viel Platz. Vor allem das Pub mit Billardtisch ist besonders cool. Leider waren die beiden Queues defekt. Wir konnten einen reparieren mit dem es dann sehr gut ging. Ein kleiner Supermarkt in einer Minute Entfernung hat alles was man benötigt. Reiseziele wie Dingle und Ring of Kerry sind sehr gut zu erreichen. Alles in allem Top.

A Gem of a Place!

We booked this property because of the space and amenities within it, thinking that it would be a good home base to go to Killarney and Dingle and the surrounding areas. What we didn't know is that the little town of Castlemaine has a fun life of it's very own and if you go to Griffin's (a 1-2 minute walk!) for dinner and move to the bar for drinks afterwards, you will have a fantastic time! The property itself is VERY comfortable, spacious and fun. It's so hard to find queen-sized beds, and this property has them! The bathrooms were really nice, the kitchen had plenty of space and we were even left some welcome treats! We stayed all over Ireland during our trip and this was, by far, our favorite accommodation! If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

family trip

This was a fun place to stay, with our own neighborhood pub atmosphere but still plenty of room for us 9 adults and an infant. Everything worked well and the restaurant Griffins and convenient store Helena's were VERY friendly, helpful and accommodating. We loved our stay!

Located in a sleepy, quite town about 13 miles from Killarney National Park, my family and I enjoyed the amenities of the pub while lounging and recharging our batteries before moving onto the next phase of our holiday. Easy, scenic drive to park allowed us to stay out of the traffic and congestion surrounding Killarney. Would book again especially if we travel with another family as the property was roomy and comfortable.

Great location, unique rental

The property was exactly as described and perfect for our groups stay. It is convenient to Dingle peninsula and Ring of Kerry - the extra bonus was a separate dryer from the washing machine which was not common in other rentals! It was clean and plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Would definitely come back!

Great place

Central to town. Manager’s response to our questions were prompt. Very helpful manager. The bar area lent a lot of character. The dryer didn’t dry our clothes very well.
