Staying at the Claregalway castle was the best decision of our trip to Ireland. The staff here could not have been more kind or thoughtful. We spent the whole afternoon exploring the grounds and the many floors of the amazing castle. There is a grocery store and restaurants right down the road and another castle across the street which was exciting to explore. We spent our evening having a small picnic in the field next to the castle and the sunset view from the castle was beautiful. Well worth the money and we absolutely recommend anyone to stay here.
