Kilcolgan castle was lovely!! We didn't get to meet Karen until the next morning after we arrived due to her being away at a dog race but she arranged for someone to meet us and show us around. The hospitality we received was absolutely wonderful. Karen shared many stories with us and gave us all the information we needed to know. We had a great time meeting all of her dogs (Grizzly was great and hung out with us most of the time) and her beautiful daughter. Karen treated us to a complimentary breakfast both mornings we were there. I hope to visit again one day!!
