Castle Ellen is a WONDERFUL step back in time!
Michael has the most insightful outlook on and observance of Irish history. And, he is utterly charming and could NOT be a better host! He pulled out costumes, gave us a tour of the old walled garden, treated us to a lovely evening meal, and was a gentleman host ... in every way imaginable.
The accommodations are rudimentary, .... but charming! Our bedroom was cosy and warm, and we had loads of hot water and clean towels and sheets. There are creepy-crawlies and creaky floorboards everywhere, but if you love architecture, history and geniality, Castle Ellen remains a grand old lady, despite her great age. (and her present owner is utterly irresistible).
We wish Michael and Castle Ellen every best wish.
With our love,
Allie and Beth Winter xxx
