Wow! If I could give 10 stars, I would. Where to start? First, you see the castle with its Jolly Roger flag in the distance as you approach and then you are greeted by Peter, the artist, builder and genius who has poured his heart and soul into restoring this castle. Peter told us about the castles history and his history with the castle, and that made this experience that much more special. Our family of 4, including 2 hard to impress teens, only stayed 1 night, but all of us wish it had been more. I don’t want to say too much as I don’t want to spoil anything for those who are going in the future. There are so many cool books, crannies and surprises to be discovered. I will say, the steps are intense, so if you have mobility issues they can be a challenge. This isn’t Ashford Castle, this is so much more. The level of hospitality we received was off the charts. We will return in the future!
