Pete was an amazing host who made us feel very welcome from the beginning. He was so helpful in booking when I initially had problems with access to the airb&b website and offered his assistance twice to pick us up and take us to the castle. He is passionate about the castle and explained how he had built it up from a ruin and learnt from scratch all he needed to do. He has done an incredible amount of work by himself. There are lovely 360 degree views from the top.
Pete is also a gifted storyteller and great to converse with. He was open and very, very friendly and I couldn't recommend him more highly. We were even greeted with Eva's delicious cake, and nothing was too much trouble for them.
The only problem was that one day was not enough! I could have stayed for days, swinging in the hammock, reading some of the great selection of books especially on castles and old houses, regardless of the weather! It is well situated but unfortunately we didn't have time to explore nearby areas. We would love to return one day and spend more time enjoying the castle's facilities, chatting with Pete and Eva and learning about the area.
An amazing privilege to actually live in a castle and go back in time, rather than be guided around one but not experience life in it. Not only is it an historical experience but Pete's amazing creativity has given it lots of fun, quirky twists which make it a unique experience for any age.
The breakfast provided included an extremely generous and wide variety of food, great cooking facilities and everything we needed and much more.
I came to visit my daughter who is studying in Ireland and we had such a special time that we will always remember. It was all I hoped for and much more!
Thank you so much Pete.
