Delores was very welcoming and even let me check very early in the day. Buratty Castle Mews is a lovely and warm place to stay. It's far enough from the main road in Bunratty that you don't feel like you're in the middle of all traffic etc. by the castle. The rooms are clean and bright. It was great to have a 'bar' where I could buy a drink to enjoy in the evening on their sunny patio. Breakfast was delicious and offered loads of choices. My only regret is that I didn't come a day or two earlier! I will be back to this guesthouse on my next trip to Ireland.
