“What a lovely experience, my husband is fascinated with Castles so this was a Christmas gift for him, but I enjoyed it just as much as he did! Donal was a wonderful host, so warm and genuine, he had us in stitches one minute and would be giving you some unbelievable facts about the place the next minute! It's so clear to see that this is a passion of his, and it's what makes the experience. The castle is beautiful, and so homely while still maintaining and highlighting many of the original features. Would highly recommend this as an experience, if you are looking for something different, unique and top-class…”
