If you are looking for a castle converted to a hotel by a consortium, Castle Cregg is not it. If you are looking what it’s REALLY like to live in one of Ireland’s grand old fortified Houses, this is the real deal. So many of these castles are in ruins by the side of the road. This one stands! The home used to belong to my husband’s family. We stayed in what was once his great grandmother’s room - and hundreds of years of forbearers before that - and are grateful to our charming, artist host, Alan, for not only allowing us in but for being the keeper of the Blake family archives. He knows all the lore. It’s a big job. Well done. Thank you Alan. Long live Cregg Castle!
