The Kilcolgan Castle is a breathtaking and unique place to stay if you're visiting the Galway area. Very close to the town center in Kilcolgan - Post office, Raferty's Rest Pub, Gas Station/Convenience Store. Also a convenient drive to the Burren, and to Galway. We saw Karen pretty frequently, but by choice. She made it very clear that we could have complete privacy if we wished. We also got to meet all 8 of her beautiful dogs, one of the best parts of our trip! A family member also lives on the second floor of the tower area, but never uses the shared space that is the Air BnB. I would very much recommend staying at the Kilcolgan castle if you are in the area!
