My family of five thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this magical castle full of history and beauty. Karen was a wonderful and informative host leaving us a delicious breakfast of freshly baked goods and fruit each morning, helping us with dinner arrangements and building us fires in the castle's cozy den. The accommodations were clean and comfortable; the view of the water and birdlife stunning. We especially loved the walled courtyard and garden. My children loved playing with Grizzly, Karen's dog. My husband and I are avid birdwatchers and we ended up picking up several new species for our life lists. We are sure to never forget our stay in this elegant and historical (parts of the castle dating back to the 11th century) Irish castle.
