Let's say your friend Connor found out you were going to Ireland and invited you to stay with his aunt and uncle in Ballylongford. This is Patricia and Garrett's place. They are friendly and welcoming, but not in a hotel kind of way, more in a warm and genuine way. The rooms are a bit dated but decent sized. (The peaceful location makes up for it.) I'd ask for a room with a view of the castle as ours was in the back and looked out over cows (awesome), a trailer/caravan, and some type of industrial plant (not so awesome). The bathroom, specifically the shower, was tiny, so if you're overweight you're not getting in. The short walk to the castle is calming and the castle itself was probably the most memorable moment of our trip to Ireland, minus maybe the Cliffs of Moher...but it's a toss up!
