This is an extraordinarily charming, historic building, like a coaching inn attached to a larger estate. Traveling as a family party of 12 (three generations), we immensely enjoyed our stay with Marshall - the enormous, stunning gardens, the immense grounds to stroll, the woods trail, tennis court, billiard room, heated swimming pool, ping pong table - our children were especially fond of these. The gathering spaces were perfect for us for breakfasts and dinners, and Ross Castle is very well located for touring Connemara. Brilliant!
