We had a lovely stay in this unique space. We somehow lucked out on weather in Ireland and had sunshine, which streamed into our spacious room in the mornings while we enjoyed our coffee and charming breakfast. We highly recommend exploring the cemetery/friary across the street; no one else was there when we visited. Dinner at the Arches was very good; a grocery store was also within walking distance of the castle. It was about a 15 minute drive from the Galway nightlife, so if having several pints at night is a priority, you’ll want to factor in the location when making your plans. Overall, the uniqueness of the property made it an experience, not just a place to lodge. We would recommend it.
