Wow. That was the word my husband and I didn't stop repeating during our time spent at Claregalway Castle. We were greeted by Jhon, who was the nicest and most welcoming person that we met during our entire two week trip in Ireland. We showed us to our room which was so beautiful and clean. Jhon told us all about the Castle and it's history which made the experience that much more special for us. The breakfast tray that was left for us in the morning had a great selection and just put the entire experience over the top. My husband and I both agree that this was not only the best lodging we had during our two week trip, but actually the best lodging/hotel/Airbnb experience we have ever had in our entire lives.
