We had a really great stay: proper Irish warm welcome from reception and a generous official introductory meeting from owner Brian with a funny and informative potted history of the Castle accompanied by free flowing ( and very welcome) Prosecco and snacks.
Facilities were impressive- tennis courts, pitch and putt, snooker all available free.
The evening meal was delicious, not cheap but well worth it and again staff were exceptional.
Brian sat and chatted to every table and was a perfect host.
Evening entertainment in the bar was like a family reunion.
Breakfast was generous and delicious, up there with the best and Again our host chatted to everyone, knew everyone’s names and origin and made all welcome.
The number of guests who told us they return year after year paid complement to the quality and welcome here: the physical setting is also basically the best scenery in Ireland.
We got the Air bnb basic room - this is half the minimum normal rate to stay here and the room is the compromise- while it is clean and very comfortable it is small and has no external windows.
For us this was easily a price worth paying and we will be back again.
Thanks Brian and all the lovely staff.
