When given the chance to stay in a castle, it’s hard to pass up. The location was easy to get to and the scenery surrounding the castle was out of a fairy tale. We were fortunate to have great weather and loved exploring the grounds with Karen’s dogs (she has seven that live in the adjacent cottage - ideal for dog lovers). Given the castle is several hundred years old, time has taken its toll but it’s been beautifully maintained and loved by the current family - who has owned it since the 1980s. It’s filled with historic memorabilia. Karen keeps guide books, maps and local history books on hand.
Karen was an attentive host, who met us upon arrival, gave a tour and brief history of the castle and booked dinner at Moran’s (fantastic seafood - go there!).
