Karen was a wonderful host for our brief one night stay and Kilcolgan Castle a splendid structure with a fascinating history. Karen (ably assisted by her dog, Grizzly) greeted us on our late afternoon arrival and was a gracious host for the balance of our stay, affording us a tour upon our arrival of the castle and sharing many personal anecdotes about her history with the property.
Our family of five rested comfortably in two upstairs bedrooms with an adjoining full and spacious bathroom. Our needs were met in every way.
Karen helped us arrange transportation to and from Galway for the evening after a lovely dinner at Moran's situated across the river from the castle - a valuable recommendation from our host.
Our stay at Kilcolgan definitely put is in an Irish frame of mind for the balance of our trip, and we're grateful for the hospitality we were shown!
