Felt like a royal
Pros:

Location is great for exploring Killarney National Park or to go for a day trip to Dingle peninsula. Property is thoughtfully taken care for, staff is professional and kind (even when castles are not your primary choice of accommodation). Breakfast is tasteful and plentiful. Property has all sort of places to relax, indoor and out in the garden.
