Huntington Castle was amazing! It is immaculately maintained in keeping with the time period yet provided all of the daily modern comforts we are used to during our stay. Don't miss the castle and garden tours as they truly enhance your understanding of the historic background. We had missed them upon check in, however, Alex was kind enough to give us a personally guided tour after a full Irish breakfast before we left the following morning. Alex is a great host who will go out of his way to ensure you feel comfortable during your stay.
The castle also has loads of animals who are friendly and welcoming that add to the atmosphere. Otto and Nutmeg were very excited to give us a guided tour of the gardens in the evening. Percy the peacock also welcomed us back to the castle after dinner, as we spotted him way up on the roof!
All in all, if you're coming through Clonegal stay at this castle! It will blow your expectations out of the water. At least visit for a tour, you will not be disappointed.
