Shankill Castle is a great experience. The grounds and history of the home are amazing. The family is so warm and inviting making the stay a warm one. The breakfast is hands down the best we had in Ireland and the tour of the home by Sybil was so enlightening. We loved walking the grounds and our overall visit. This is of course an older home and so it it not new with all conveniences in perfect condition. The shower was a little makeshift but we didn't mind because the overall experience was charming.
