Cregg castle is very cool. It’s unique and if you like history and architecture this place might be for you. There is a lot of things to see just on the property and Alan allows you roam it freely. We didn’t find the horses but did see most of the rest of the grounds. The castle itself is incredible, though as Alan said in his description, is under a lot of construction for renovation so that’s something to keep in mind if you prefer a more refined and tidy setting. The interior of the houses smells old (which is to be expected and I enjoy). The WiFi was decent and located outside of the room we stayed in. Having that amenity was very helpful. The room itself was not great, not terrible though either. It met the basic needs of a traveler and had 3 beds in the room, along with a functional bathroom. The fireplace didn’t look useable and Alan put portable heaters in the room. They worked but we didn’t leave them all night because they were slightly broken and we were concerned about them falling over and catching fire. We saw Alan 3 times briefly during our stay, and Steve was the one who gave us a tour of the house and checked us in. We didn’t mind the lack of contact though, as we prefer to meander alone.
Bottom line of this review, We liked this place a lot and would definitely stay here again though I do feel it could be that much more amazing with just a bit more work.
