A very authentic and unique experience with Peter, his family and his castle. He is the real deal and is quite a character, funny, interesting and loves to talk. He has done an amazing job restoring the castle and making it cozy and comfortable inside, with the fireplace and the decor. The outside of the castle is a bit overwhelming with stuff (mostly limestone),the surroundings area is of farm pastures in the beautiful country side of rural Galway. We had to get directions from the local gas station, and passed it due to it being on the driver side and tall hedge lined road. Having a sign out front would help a lot. We got there in the late afternoon and was greeted by Eva and shown around. We went to the local pub to eat and when we came back Peter and his sons greeted us as well. We chatted with them for quite awhile in the living room of the castle. The boys stay in their room and we had the other two levels for the night. The stairs are straight up and very narrow so you can't bring a big suitcase with you upstairs. The bedroom was lovely, lots of candles, but the futon is very hard and only one sheet and a duvet ( ask for two if you get hot like me) We slept fairly well except for the smoky air coming from an outside chimney. Overall it was a very cool experience, but very rustic. Go to meet Peter and his lovely family, whom we wish well in their future endevors . See what can happen when someone wants something so badly, they make it happen through talent, passion, love, perseverance and strong will power and probably a bit if stubbornness.
