This is a true bucket-list, once in a lifetime (unless you come back--which you'll want to) experience. Peter is a kind, engaging, and fascinating host! The castle is cozy and romantic, with whitewashed walls and quirky ornaments. The bedroom has a beautiful fireplace and a four-poster bed made out of trees! It's like it's out of Pinterest, but with a medieval twist. The surrounding area is rural, charming, and an absolute thrill to drive around. Craugwell has a wonderful pub where you may have a nice meal. Galway is a <30 min drive and Shannon airport is a little over an hour. You'd be crazy not to book this place. You'll never forget it if you do :)
