This place is absolutely spectacular! I have never had a more enjoyable stay. The host John was absolutely amazing. Told amazing stories about the castle, was always available, and just really made sure our stay was outstanding. The venue itself has so much history and the rooms are so comfortable. They did a great job of melding the old style with modern amenities. My fiancé and I toured the whole castle tower, right to the top and it was such an experience. The breakfast was incredible, so much food and very delicious. The place is only a 10-15 minute drive to Galway, which is a fantastic little City. On our second night the castle was hosting an Orchestra and John made sure we felt welcome, always trying to top up our drinks and chatting with us about the history of the castle and the rebuilding effort. Please do yourself a favour and book this place and stay for more than one night (we stayed for two and it was still not enough). Thanks again John!
