Stop what you are doing and book this place. We seriously loved our stay at Claregalway Castle. I can't say enough good things. John showed us around the places and answered all the questions that we had about the history of the castle. He was so nice, and we had a really great chat as well. Our room was awesome, and we had open access to the tower part of the castle. It was really cool to get to stay in a place so rich with history. I have a feeling that this place is only going to get more popular. If you are planning on being near Galway, snatch this place up quick!
