What can I say that succinctly captures our experience at Kilcolgan Castle except it was FABULOUS. Karen is a terrific attentive host and her attention to detail is significant. This stay was by far our most unique because the castle is like a museum in many respects furnished and decorated in a most memorable way. You get to enjoy being on a 9-acre estate and If you like play with her friendly pets as well. Our stay at Kilcolgan was the highlight of our two-week trip in Ireland. Most highly recommended!
