Everything is a work in progress in this 200 year old mansion estate. A huge wonderful dusty muddle of papers, photos, documents, objects, aertefacts, and treasures from the grand piano to the quirky stuffed animals, birds and more. But the greatest treasure of all is Michael himself. A well travelled eccentric intellectual, fascinating, traditional, cultured, historian, able to recite poetry off the top of his head with a huge passion for Castle Ellen and wide knowledge of the history and people of Ireland. You will never forget your stay at Castle Ellen or Michael. They just do not make them like him anymore!
