Hi Liz, We had a blast! Thanks for checking in. Over all - we had some wonderful places I have to admit - that after all our travels - I still can't drive a stick shift! I managed to kill the van at some very interesting places! I managed to stop traffic in one town not only on the two streets, but on the sidewalks as well! My new nicknames are 'clutch and lerch'! I have to admit - everyone was more than welcoming. We ended up the last night at Bunratty - and after closing two bars, we ended up 'crashing' a wedding! Actually, we heard the music and when we got in the hotel, the mother of the bride invited us to come in and join the party. Had a wonderful time - ended up leaving the hotel at 4:00 in the morning!!! Did also answer the age old question - what do men wear under their kilts! I learned more than I wanted to!! Have a great day. Talk to you soon.Danielle, Mckinney TX

Castle Grove was built in 1695 by the Grove family, who came here in 1656; However, the original was burnt during the siege of Londonderry in 1690. It was here also that the famous Daniel O'Connell was introduced to the powers that be; that led to him being an elected MP at the time. Castle Grove also had a big influence in the life of General Richard Montgomery who's fame still lives on - the American War of Independence. During famine times the Groves both fed and educated all tenant families. We all enjoy the welcoming atmosphere that lives on from such generosity and is complimented by the "Cead Mile Failte" that awaits you to make your stay a memorable one.
