We loved staying at Karen's castle. It was so nice roaming the grounds and the rooms, feeling like it was our own private castle. We loved the horses, who put on a bit of a show for us, the dogs and the kittens. The beds were the most comfortable we have had in Ireland, and the view across the lake was amazing. Karen got off her sick bed to give us a fascinating talk about the history of the castle, and we loved Moran's Oyster Bar, her recommendation for dinner. It is definitely worth spending at least one night here - we would love to return!
