It was a fine stay! Overall, I think I disagree with the reviews of “sparkling clean” etc. our bathroom had mold on the ceiling, walls, and one painting in the bathroom was covered in mold. Along with a lot of insects in the bathroom, I just didn’t feel it justified a five star even though it is a very old building.
Also I know this is silly, but there was a “do’s and don’ts” list when we checked in (which IS helpful)…. But it mentioned, “don’t be afraid of ghosts, there are only good spirits here.” We didn’t personally have any issues, but it was sort of disconcerting when we were the only guests in a giant, old house. I cannot say I slept particularly well after that haha. Just an FYI! I wish I had read that in the reviews before I booked.
But overall, an adequate stay. They were kind in making us hot breakfast and we went in to Galway during the day, which was about a 30 minute drive.
I would say, book it if you’re interested! But I just thought the reviews weren’t totally spot on from my perspective. Maybe we just went at an “off” time, I don’t know! Good luck! Happy booking!
