The property is comfortable and spacious, with windows letting in light and beautiful views of grazing cows and horses and rolling green hills. The kids loved running around the lush yard and the little playhouse outside. A highlight of our trip was experiencing falconry at Adare Manor, just 20 minutes away. Bunratty Castle was great for kids, despite some negative guidebook comments, since it was a kind of living museum with houses from many eras and locations in Ireland, live animals, a good playground, in addition to the castle itself.
