We absolutely loved our two-night stay in Joyce's manor. After being in central Galway for four nights with the hustle and bustle of the city, this was the perfect getaway to end our trip. The location is absolutely stunning, and the home itself is a time capsule of traditional Irish beauty. We had the entire downstairs wing to ourselves with plenty of room. We watched movies by the fire, ate Joyce's AMAZING Irish breakfast, and hiked the nearby Knockma Hill. It was a totally different vibe than Galway center city, and that's exactly what we wanted. It was a beautiful getaway all in its own; with the countryside in view for miles and a beautiful upkept place to lay our heads. We took a cab for dinner on the last night, which ended up being expensive (it was our last night in Ireland so wanted to get out a bit), so make sure if you don't want to leave the grounds that you bring enough food to last. We would absolutely recommend Castlehacket to others; it is an Irish experience unlike no other!
