This was by the far the best and most unique place we've ever stayed with Airbnb. I would absolutely recommend anyone traveling to the Galway area to stay here. After spending a week driving around the country seeing different castles in the distance, this one you can actually sleep in!
Check in was easy, Johnny met us when we arrived and showed us to our room. The room itself was beautiful with great lighting, a really comfortable bed, and a great shower. It was filled with nice little touches that made for a great stay. The hosts provided coffee and tea, as well as a really lovely breakfast that was waiting outside of our door when we woke up.
The location is relatively convenient for visiting Galway. It is not walkable, but it is about a 10-15 minute drive to the city center. We were able to leave our car behind by taking a bus from right outside the castle that brought us to Galway city center for about 5 euros a person, and a cab back that cost about 15 euros.
The castle itself is fantastic. It has been lovingly restored over the past decade, and Johnny gave us a private tour of the castle and the grounds. He told us about it's history, and took us up to the battlements which gave a fantastic view of the area.
This Airbnb really has the full package. A comfortable room with great amenities, a fairly convenient location, and a unique experience that would be impossible to get anywhere else. Would 100% stay again.
