We 've stayed many times in this wonderful place, both in The Castle and the Lodge. Full marks to "Sammy" for the restoration. It is an unique residence totally unlike any of the other so called pretentious Irish castle hotels. The genuine article RIP Jack Leslie.

A ship upside down. Correct.
Decay. Rot. Death. Isolation. These houses were fun (for the lords.) when the lords had an army of desperate slaves to wait on them, hand and foot.
Agree most landlords if not all were tyrannical contemptuous of the Irish people history proves it cold hard facts
