Absolutely great - a taste of genuine Irish hospitality. Four of us arrived at Cregg Castle for the weekend without knowing what to expect, and from the moment we got there we had a lovely time. The first thing that was immediatley obvious is that we weren't being treated as customers, we were visitors and Pat and Anne Marie showed us where everything was, had a cup of tea with us andinsisted that we make ourselves at home. Then they showed us our rooms which were big clean and had great views over the grounds. Cregg Castle is a one of a kind. It isn't a 5 star hotel, and it's not a B&B in a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in a Galway suburb. The castle grounds were lovely to amble around - and it is an ideal place to unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures. Pat and Anne Marie are lovely - the music they played was great, and I'll be going back again on my next trip home in 2003.

We did not know at arrival, but by the time we left we not only had the best experience of our lives --but we gained friends for life. The grounds, the staff, the food, the music, the food, the rooms, the food, the atmosphere, did I mention the food? The total experience was better than we could have wished for. We stayed a few extra days and then stayed a few more when we traveled back through from the north. We will stay everytime we are near Galway in the future.The staff was extremley helpful with everything and every evening we got to come home to our own castle with a fire in the Great Room to warm us up, music for our souls, and friendships that will last for all time.A truly GRAND time for my wife and I--Thank you Pat & Ann Marie.

We arrived at Cregg Castle after an eight hour flight from the U.S. and an interesting drive from Dublin to Galway. We did not have a reservation but they excepted us regardless. We had printed a copy of the directions from their web site. Pat and Anne Marie were warm and gracious. They gave us directions to a local pub to eat and when we returned they played for us in the great hall. No it wasn't a typical bed and breakfast (they say this on their web page) it was however, wonderful and relaxing. This is also not a hotel, it is their home which they open to visitors. The grounds are wonderful to explore. This was our first visit to Ireland and I enjoyed staying at Cregg Castle in the country side than anywhere I stayed at in Dublin.

Probably the most disappointing stay in a B&B in about 20 years. The rooms are "usually huge" per the blurb ... ... well ours was tiny. You couldn't swing a cat in it. The view from the window (curtainless I might add) was of a tumbledown farm yard and not "beautiful" as was expected. The "ensuite" was made up of a shower with a door that didn't close and the toilet was outside the room and on the corridor. This was "dedicated" to Room 12 but was available to all and sundry and was used during the night. The broken toilet roll holder came at no extra charge. With the help of hopeless signage, the ill informed, but very enthusiastic staff sent us on a wild goose chase. We gave up trying to find the place before dinner and by the time we got there they'd sold our room to someone else, despite the fact that we'd agreed that we'd try to find them after dinner. They tried to charge "full price" for the shoe box with poor facilities that they "found" and really didn't handle the customer satisfaction side very well at all. Just make sure that you get what you asked for and that you're not messed about. Otherwise, the upside was that I got to play a few tunes with the vsisitng musicians in the main room ... ... but that didn't make up for the bedromm or the complete lack of compromise on the charges the following morning. What a pity ... ... it could have been quite nice.
