Our family from American traveled through Ireland and ended our trip in the beautiful Ballybur Castle. While a property of this age will have it's challenges (many stairs, low door entries, a few repair issues), the opportunity to stay in a beautifully restored castle was a chance in a lifetime. Mhairi was a fabulous host and met us at the property to share it's history and be sure we were settled in. She also had a thoughtful welcome basket full of deluxe food items and special items for the children. Beds were comfortable and we loved hanging out in the 5th floor Great Room. While the property description says that it could be cool and that a property of this age has it's share of spiders, we were PERFECTLY warm and didn't experience crawling friends. We're SO happy that we chose Ballybur Castle to complete our travel memories in Ireland!
