Our experience at Peter and Eva’s castle was seriously one of a lifetime, I would take another stay there in a heartbeat over any 5 star hotel (I kid you not!!). The castle was a real labour of love for them and you felt that love in every step, every handcrafted chair, bed, ornament, Peter did “everything” and I mean literally everything by hand. To bring a once ruin to this level of detail and rustic perfection is just mindblowing!!! The place is very well heated, we thought a castle in Ireland in October even with open fires would be chilly so we went prepared...our jumpers weren’t used once. The bath is huge and secretly hidden in the living room floor, it was a unique experience in itself, you also have the option of a shower in the bath if you are in a hurry. The setting was perfect you felt completely cut off from the outside world (but still only a 20 minute drive to Galway city) which just added to the ambience, the views from the rooftop were quite spectacular including a woodland which they created some 20 years back, this also made for a wonderful walk. There’s also loads of dvds, games, books to keep you occupied, I would recommend reading a book in their hammock...extremely relaxing. So if you want to getaway from the world and escape into the wilderness this is the place for you, if you bring food supplies everything you need to cook is there and provided for. Finally just to say a BIG thank you to Peter and Eva for giving us this magical and memorable experience, ye were the perfect hosts and we will most definitely be back
