We were a group of 5 friends and this place was Amazing! It was like a breath of fresh air and relaxation after hustling from one destination to the next. The castle was clean and full of fun artifacts. Every inch of wall was covered with interesting, historical items. You could have spent days wandering around and still not see it all. Karen and Tony were super friendly and sweet. Grizzly (the castle dog) was friendly and welcoming as well. The pub was within walking distance and the locals were friendly. The grounds were beautiful and a nap in the plush grass was just what the doctor ordered! The horses were gorgeous and made an unreal backdrop in some of our photos. The Castle was probably my favorite part of our vacation and if I ever find myself in Ireland again I would definitely stay with Karen at the Kilcolgan Castle!
