Truly a memorable experience. Peter is a big part of the magic of the castle, and has restored it beautifully. He provided a warm and genuine welcome and we quickly felt at ease to make ourselves at home. This was a real retreat, so restoring to the soul, and a welcome change from all the tourist traps.

In case you are wondering like we were, it is possible to take a cab from Craughwell to the castle, but it's best to book it in advance. Craughwell is a small village, but there is a train station there. Note all the Craughwell dining options close their kitchens around 7pm, so plan around this if you are eating out. We definitely recommend bringing some food with you to enjoy in the castle.
