From start to finish the experience that we had at Peter's castle was spectacular in every way. The initial communication were prompt, accurate and curteous. The castle is easy to find, and located in a beautiful rural setting, close by all of the excitement and charm of the City of Galway.
To call Peter a "Superhost" is an understatement. He welcomed our family, including myself and my wife and teenagers Eliza and Isaac with grace, humor, generosity, hospitality with a bit of fun mixed in for good measure.
The castle is replete with original amenities, and creative modern touches, making the stay comfortable and convenient. The art, music, DVD collection, plus an incarnate appliance called "Mad Max" and all the other quirky and brilliant creations and touches made memories to last a lifetime.
One can only only marvel at the ingenuity, skill, talent and perseverance that it took to refurbish this landmark to these high standards. From the buttressed cathedral ceilings, to the stone masonry, to the metal work the place is truly a feast for the eyes and full of magical surprises.
We got to spend time with Eva and both of Peter's sons. We shared musical tastes and life experiences, plus Peter made sure we were up to speed on the proper use of all the amenities, he shared the history of the castle and spoke of his personal history in Ireland.
The kitchen is elegant and innovative and Peter provided all the provisions necessary for a delicious breakfast including bread, local jams, eggs, fresh Irish cheddar, fruit, yogurt and much more.
We have be fortunate to travel the world, and our two nights with Pete and Eva ranks at the very top of our experiences both in out personal lives and travel experience. This was also the highlight of our vacation for our children, as well. Which says a lot. The value for money is great, as well.
So do yourself a favor, book Pete's castle as soon as you can, because dates are hard to find. Stay as many days as you can and just enjoy yourself. This type of experience is not available anywhere else. I only wish we could have spent more time with Pete and Eva in Galway.
