This is such a unique place to stay and a must for anyone traveling to the area (Connemara, Galway, Cliff of Moher, etc.). It was very clean. Karen had lots of amenities available for us - soaps, shampoo, hair dryers, etc. We had a lovely fire in the evening after dinner and a trip into Galway. The view from the castle is beautiful. Our only critique was that it was not as private as advertised. There was another individual staying there (who we were not aware of).
