We stayed at the castle with our kids, 4 & 5, and had a great time. I mean, how often do you get the chance to stay in a castle? The kids had a blast running around and throughout the castle. Lots of great spots to just sit and relax. Karen was very responsive and super accommodating of my schedule for check-in. Also, if you stay, do check out the ruins of the Tyrone House just down the street.
