Wow!  What a fabulous adventure, @PA Mom-mom !  One I'm sure you'll never forget.  Catherine is their daughter.  Thanks for sharing fascinating details of your memorable visit.


@Oznell  To tell you the truth, we were on a bicycle study tour at the time, and our interests were food, shelter, and credits toward our final grades. That was in the '70s. I did return a few years later with my DH.

I loved Ireland on my one trip there as a teenager, @PA Mom-mom .  The gardens, wow!

What elegance, this is my taste and there is much about this castle I love and wouldn't change!  The furnishings are exquisite as is all the art work.  I am impressed.  The gardens are spectacular also, it must be so peaceful to walk through them.  Sign me up for at stay!!!!!

Far be it for me to knit-pick about a castle. I'll take it as is.

Definitely not my style but it is still beautiful and was fun to take a peak inside.  The grounds are stunning!!!!!  Thanks so much for finding, and posting, these homes (or castles .... LOL)!!!

I'm so happy they found a way to hold onto this.  It would be a "crying shame" to have to let it go.  The video was very inspiring.  What a beautiful place to live.  What memories to pass on to children and grandchildren.  Thanks for posting the video, too.

Re: GLIN CASTLE IN IRELAND

[ Edited ]

Beautiful castle, beautiful grounds and actually somewhat 'homey' inside, which has to be a minor miracle. Many lovely elements and gracious, appealing rooms. Interestingly enough, though, as much as one might appreciate something like this from afar or as a visitor, I don't think I'd want to call it home. As nice a job as they've done to keep it looking like an actual home rather than a show place, perhaps it's still all just a bit overwhelming for me.

@Oznell -

That was really interesting.

It looked like that wonderful harp had no strings. I wonder if it was just for decoration.
