Have you ever wanted to stay at a Castle? We did, and are we are extremely happy with our decision to do so! It's amazing to stay somewhere with so much history. This castle dates back to the 1400's. And for an added bonus, the remains of the Claregalway Franciscan Friary from 1250 is across the street (it's likely you will have the place to yourself). The host are great, they are always available to answers questions or make suggestions. They provide you with a welcome a bottle of wine to start your stay and provide a lovely tray of breakfast goodies to start each day. You are about a 15-20 drive to Galway.
