Six stars if I could give this place that. My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night while driving around Ireland and we wish we could have made it two. There's a castle everywhere you turn in Ireland, but this one is privately owned, isnt inhabited by birds nor does it charge you $700 a night. It's about 20mins from Galway city center in the countryside. Peter is a very gracious host with a good sense of humor and very willing to suggest a scenic local drive, great hike, or fun activity. "Live like a king in my castle" is no joke, he definitely makes you feel at home with a cozy whole two floors (living area, bathroom, kitchen, huge bedroom, rooftop) to yourself. What you get when you stay here is the result of someone putting years and years of effort into a dream and making it come to life all by themselves and my girlfriend and I are very grateful for the experience.
