Book now!! This was the highlight stay to our honeymoon! It completely topped a night in the stuffy and overbearing Ashford castle, no lie! There is a bohemian feel to the place layered on top of the history, and so much love. Pete does not lie when he states he found a building he fell in love with and spent years making love to. His pain staking efforts can be seen everywhere. Each stone and each knickknack has a rich story to tell. And yet, the castle really does feel like it's yours when you stay. It's very welcoming, warm, and magical. From the decor, to the hidden kichen, to the underfloor bathtub, to the owners..... the place is just whimsical. Pete and Eva truly welcome you into their lives. They share with you their history, their current projects, their thoughts, their home. It was a pleasure to have Pete there to show us how to work everything. It was fun to return from dinner to candlelit guitar strumming in the stone stairwell. Once the sun leaves, and the fires are lit, you really get the midevil castle feel. I truly felt like a princess sitting in front of the fire and refused to use any electric light. I couldn't break the charm! The castle was a bit cool as we'd neglected the wood stove downstairs, but that just made the heated bed even better. I'd never been so warm and cocooned. To top if off, we were provided a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate our marriage, great advice on where to eat, and guidance on where to see the Cliffs of Moher in the raw rather than at the visitor center. And I wish we had been able to stay for the Halloween party! I can't recommend booking more. We have already decided we must return to stay longer sometime before Pete completely finishes the castle. We hope it stays under his loving watch long enough for us to return.
