If you're in Clifden, Abbeyglen Castle is a MUST. It's gorgeous and a short walk from the middle of town. Honestly one of the best places I've ever stayed. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Paul, but Brian is a gem. He makes you feel right and home and is such a great host. I had the best meal I've ever had at dinner in the dining room. Truly one of the best places in Ireland!
