My family and I are currently doing our first trip around Ireland with AirBnB. Cregg's Castle was our 2nd location after 3 days in Dublin.
The way between the entrance and the castle leads through a ferry tale forrest smelling garlic and herbal essences. It was wonderful.
The 1st thing we saw when we reached the castle was the horse Arrow and the donkey Whodini standing at their gate waiting for us (seems like). Alan looked out of a castle window, then came down and introduced the animals and himself to us. He's so friendly and fits perfectly in this magical place.
He showed us the rooms and everything around. He was very helpful giving us hints around Galway and the Connamara region.
The next day the cat Pixy introduced herself to us. She's a pretty and handsome cat loving hanging around with guests.
Cregg's castle is a very special place and I guess it's hard to find something similar.
The housekeeping is done by Alan and the guys living there, all men. So everything Alan wrote in his AirBnB vita is true.
This is a magical place for everyone to come. Have fun and see how easy and pure living can be. Alan is such a great person and he made me thinking about my/our way of life.
