This is the coolest AirBnB place I’ve ever stayed in. The room is large, bright, fully modern, and on the first floor up a spiral staircase. It has access to a spacious private patio with good views of the castle and surrounding nature. There are just 3 guest rooms in the castle, which is located on a large gated plot.
The attention to detail and cleanliness was pristine. Every item of food, cutlery, towel, etc. was wrapped in cling wrap to indicate that it had been cleaned and keep it that way.
However, every castle has enemies it is trying to keep out. This room, through no lack of cleaning, is struggling to keep spiders out. I have arachnophobia. My travel partner was able to help remove the pests. Could I suggest that a castle-safe chemical is applied to ward off these pests?
The selection of amenities, breakfast, and decorations were thoughtful. There were options of coffee, tea, wine, and water in the room. The floors are heated.
The hosts were kind and check in was easy.
This place can be accessed by bus or taxi. The buses ran every 0.5-2 hours during the day while we were there in June/July. Round trip bus fare to Galway City and back would be about eight euros per person. Round trip taxi fare would be about fifty per cab.
In summary, this is a luxurious castle accommodation and John is a great host.
