The atmosphere created both inside and outside the castle is wonderful! There's so much history, both of the building and of Karen's family to enjoy, and the scenery truly makes the experience. Karen welcomed us warmly, with lit fires, and introducing us to her sweet pack of dogs and one kitty made us feel like family. Her recommendation and reservations for dinner at Morans was spot on after our trip from the Cliffs of Moher and the continental breakfast the following morning was all we needed to get going again.
