Karen was absolutely wonderful. As many others said, she made a fantastic booking at Moran's just down the way from the castle. What's more, she had a warm fire for us when we got back from dinner. The property itself is magnificent, with all sorts of personal touches and items from the history or Ireland, of the castle, and of its tenants, past and present. It was a bit like staying in a museum crossed with a luxury apartment, in the best possible way!
