What more can I say that IT'S A CASTLE. How many people can honestly say they've stayed in a castle? Alan was an amazing host - super friendly and welcoming. He gave us a great tour of the castle and grounds, and told us amazing stories of the castle's past. It's only about 20-25 minutes to Galway, and it was really nice being outside of the city. There are countless hikes and ways to explore the seemingly endless grounds of the property. One morning, we went on a long hike, and the castle cat, Pixie, followed us the whole way. What an amazing experience it was staying with Alan, Pixie, the horse, and donkey. We had an amazing time and are already plotting our eventual return!
