My girlfriend & I arrived to Galway at night & had problems locating the castle, so we called Peter. Not only did he give directions, he drove out and met us. We followed him back to the castle and we proceeded to chat like we were old friends catching up. He is such an interesting, artistically-gifted and generous person. He made us feel so comfortable and at home, like we were truly guests, offering us supper, tea, coffee. We wished we would've gotten there sooner to chat more with his sons, his girlfriend Eva & him. The place is truly AMAZING! Not a commercialized hotel inside a castle (THANK GOD)! He restored it himself & he managed to preserve some medieval charm. Everything is so unique, the bathtub under the trap door, the custom designed toilet, heated bathroom floors, kitchen. His passion for the castle..and life is contagious. Truly once in a lifetime experience, not to just stay in a castle, but to stay in one built with so much heart. All his cool trinkets, sculptures, the chair swing, chalkboard menu, art and the stories behind them, and him is part of what makes the stay such a wonderful experience. You can even etch your name in the limestone & leave your mark behind. We wish you all the best! Thanks for the memories & your time spent with us! Know that you always have friends & a place to stay in Chicago! Love 1st, Money 2nd...Slainté
