This was a great experience. The description of the castle is accurate - it really is an old castle that has been renovated very nicely. There was more than one moment in which we thought, wow, this is how it must have been back then! While there are some modern luxuries added (a bath tub, gas stove, electric light etc.) it never fails to feel rustic and keeps you in the spirit.
The rooms can get quite cold during winter, and keeping the fire alive is essential. Peter is a great host, knowledgeable and willing to help with just about anything - he made sure we didn't have to freeze, had enough ideas and recommendations on what to do and just generally was a fun guy.
We recommend this to anyone who is looking for a bit of an adventure, and is interested in seeing a unique part of Ireland!
