Catherine’s Cottage exceeded all our expectations. The house itself is charming, well appointed, and very comfortable. We loved the heated floors and the charm of staying in a 16th century castle.
Despite its rustic charm, the cottage is well kept and enjoys modern conveniences. We never wanted for any of the usual creature comforts—including wifi.
The surrounding lake, gardens, trails, and hills are breathtaking and well kept. We couldn’t believe that we were staying someplace so beautiful.
There are numerous activities on the grounds themselves, including boating, hiking, tennis, billiards, and exploring the grounds. Galway is easily accessible by taxi, but we found that we enjoyed just staying home and enjoying the stunning beauty of Ross Castle and its surrounding 120 acres.
