This castle is amazing. Beautiful grounds. Plan to spend a few Euro to tour the inside of the castle - totally worth the money.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Beautiful, but very short tour that did not require a full night's stay close by unless you plan to do other things in town. Loved the bar at The Hibernian Hotel!
3/5 - Okay

Too refined - looks more like an office building.
