The most spectacular place I’ve ever stayed. Like others have noted, it’s dizzying to imagine all the time, love, and effort that goes into restoring an ancient castle tower - we feel grateful to have had the chance to experience what John and his family have created/continued. You can feel the stories in every stone. And the design/decor couldn’t have been more tasteful and gorgeous. We also dug the Irish poetry scattered about (like, "Dangerous pavements/But I face the ice this year/With my father’s stick" by Seamus Heaney). It was stormy while we were there but where better to experience howling wind and rain than while reading and playing cards by a fire in a 500-year-old castle?
