This was a lovely and unique stay! Being in the castle was amazing, one of the best experiences we had on our two week Ireland vacation. The castle is remote but a 10-15 minutes drive or bus ride to Galway city. We checked in easily with John who showed us where to park, then to our room. There was wine and water waiting on our arrival, and John advised us how to get into the city. He did offer a tour of the castle but unfortunately we did not get a private tour- we did tour the castle ourselves but if you are able to have one with John do it! The castle was outstandingly clean with loads of amenities (towels, toiletries) and breakfast was delivered to our door each morning. The bed was so comfortable, we both had an amazing night sleep. Our second day visiting John gave us a great recommendation to tour the nearby town which we appreciated greatly- it ended up being our favorite day of the trip. We hope to be back to visit in the future! Thank you for a great stay.
