Ross Castle is a dream. We were a group of 15 in two cottages. I was in the larger one, the St. George. It was beautiful and comfortable. Even though it's November, the gardens and grounds were still lovely to walk around. We had two clear nights and the stars were beautiful; we could even see them through the skylights in all the top floor rooms.
Our host was very kind. She knew we were celebrating Thanksgiving and helped procure the turkey. As an unexpected gift they dropped off candles, chocolates, flowers and wine. She wrote me a sweet welcome note because a different member of our group checked in, and I came late.
We had a great meal around the huge dining table (we fit 13 at the table and set up a side table for two small kids). All agreed it was a great venue and a great stay. Galway was an easy drive, around 25 minutes straight down the road. Ross Castle was an amazing place to unplug and relax.
