Cregg Castle was by far my favorite place to stay during our road trip around Ireland! Alan was very kind and accommodating with our later than planned arrival. The listing is very accurate and yes you need to know what you are getting into, but if you’re up for an adventure this is the place for you. It was a real treat to go out back and spend time with Alan’s horse Arrow and Donkey Houdini before we ventured out to explore Galway and the house cat was there daily to greet us every morning. As an animal lover I was in heaven. The castle is in a pretty rural area so it was nice to not be woken up by any noise for once. I would highly recommend opening your mind and giving Alan’s castle a try, you might be alittle nervous at first but it will fade away if you just go with it and enjoy yourself.
