This is a completely magical place! Yes, it's a work in progress and you'll want to keep a jacket on outside of the bedroom, but these are minor inconveniences if you're adventurous and enjoy new experiences. We enjoyed our time wandering inside and out, cooking in the kitchen and exploring the local area a bit. It's fairly close to Galway though we chose to stay close. You will be warm sleeping as there are heaters in the bedroom and electric blankets on the beds. If you've always wanted to stay in a castle, this is the perfect budget place to stay. Thanks Alan!
