My mom and I were looking for a relaxing castle experience for our first two nights in Ireland, and Karen and the Kilcolgan crew delivered wonderfully. The location is peaceful, picturesque and near a host of sights and things to do. As many other reviewers have mentioned, Moran's is not to be missed and there is a nice after dinner stroll down to the beach if you turn right when exiting the restaurant.
Karen is friendly and informative without being intrusive and the breakfast she provides is perfect.
We hope to be back one day!
