This is an enormous crumbling manor house well positioned for access to Galway and the countryside. Truly a unique experience. We arrived a little late, but Alan was very helpful settling us in. Its too bad we didn't get much chance to explore the beautiful woods, I wanted to see the graveyard and spring, but it was getting dark. We did meet the very friendly mule and 2 horses mentioned in the description.

I respect what Alan is trying to do, it must be a huge undertaking. Its understandable that the house is not the cleanest or very well lit (we needed a flashlight to get back to our room). I would warn anyone who suffers from asthma or severe allergies there is a strong mildew or mold smell throughout the house. That being said I appreciate the opportunity to explore the house and grounds.
