The Claregalway Castle is a step back in one in the most glam way. The caretakers are incredibly accommodating, especially with a super early check in for us (we landed at 5am in Dublin). The room was impeccable, with amazing little touches that brought the experience to life. It’s about 25 minutes to town but there is a bus just outside the castle entrance that heads there regularly and goes directly there. I would recommend this place a million times!
