Imagine waking up in the middle of 180 acres of green, in a castle and only 15 minutes from Galway!! Great location, great host, great time! we found everything to be as advertised so we were not in the least bit put out by shower being a floor below or the chill in the castle because our room and beds were warm! We were there with 3 of our kids, visiting a 4th studying in Galway and had another friend and family staying nearby. Everyone thought it was very cool to be staying in a castle! There was plenty of room for the 5 of us in the castle. The beds had heated mattress pads while the room had its own heater. Can't say enough about what a fun, unique experience this was!! Thanks Alan!!
