Staying in the castle was an incredible experience. Pete made us feel welcome from the second we drove up the gravel driveway. He hoisted our 20 kg luggage on his shoulder and climbed the 63 steps up to our room. What a great welcome! We were told to make ourselves completely at home. Our bedroom was on the top floor of the castle while the living area/kitchen/bathroom was only a few steps down on the level below. The cozy and unique kitchen was at our disposal. We were free to eat any food in the small refrigerator and cabinets so we happily made breakfast for ourselves every morning and dinner one of the nights. A grocery store/service station is only a 5 minute drive where you can buy almost anything you need. Pete shared wonderful stories, went out of his way to meet all of our needs and treated us like family. He also gave us helpful tips for traveling around the area. We couldn't have asked for a better experience during our 3 days on the West Coast of Ireland. Thank you Pete for allowing us to stay in your castle!
