👍👍 There are few streets full of restaurants and bar with nice looking stile and good fish and beer! The area is also full of musicians that play on the street, creating a magical vibe! The area is quite small and gets very crowded! Definitely worth a visit

👍👍 First and foremost, if you have considered staying here, DO IT! Staying at Claregalway Castle isn't like staying at a normal hotel, it's an experience all on its own.
