Sean is a diligent and attentive host. He called on the day of arrival to be certain that travel to the Castle was on track and met us as we pulled in. He was helpful and showed us the castle and answered our questions. We had the entire house to ourselves except the last night and the 9 members of our family felt at home immediately. He shared the history of the castle, his family's involvement and even the legend of the local ghost(s)!
The castle is located centrally in southeast Ireland and day trips to Wexford town, Kilkenny, Enniscorthy and Waterford are within an hour's drive or so. It was a very easy drive down from Dublin (less than 90 min). There is local grocery shopping within a 10 minute drive.
The kitchen facilities are excellent and the local farms and markets provide fresh eggs, meats and produce, so we were able to prepare wonderful meals with no trouble.
The rooms are all en suite and well appointed.
The stream in the back of the house provided a beautiful backdrop and several afternoons of relaxing fishing (catch and release).
Overall, this was exactly what we thought we would be getting: a very relaxing week in exquisite surroundings. We look forward to visiting again.
