Mary and her family were wonderful hosts and the castle was gorgeous! They checked in with us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed. We completely enjoyed our stay at their beautiful home. We spent mornings in the very spacious kitchen and evenings playing games by the fireplace. They provided everything we could have needed including; a welcome basket with lots of food to get us started. This was greatly appreciated as we were very hungry after our travels. They were very accommodating on check in/out times and supplied a pack n play for our little one. We were also given fresh flowers, logs for the fire place and toiletries. It is a castle which is not easy to heat so it is a bit chilly even when the heats on. We were comfortable though in warm sweaters and wrapped up at night with the extra blankets provided. We had a great time sharing this place with family and highly recommend a stay at Fanningstown Castle.
