If you've toured any of restored castles around Ireland and the rest of the UK it is very hands off static displays. Here, Mike and his crew have meticulously rebuilt this beauttiful historic structure. You will not only witness history, you will live history (with a few modifications like central heat, electricity, running water and wifi.) Nobody really wants to live like a medieval king. But the staff here treat you better than royalty, they treat you like family. You know, like the cousins you actually like to hang out with. Our stay at Claregalway Castel was the highlight of our three week tour of the UK. I cannot recommend it high enough. 6 stars!
