Ever dream of playing king or queen for a week? If so, you should consider renting Turin Castle in Co. Mayo. Brendan and Marnie Farrell have done an amazing job of blending authenticity with 21st century comfort in this private castle that’s estimated to be more 750 years old. A half a dozen of us stayed in the castle this August, dining in the oversized hall while listening to our favorite tunes (great accoustics!), exploring the oubliette (look for the trio of photos with a black ladder), sleeping in luxury beddings, soaking in a claw foot tub while gazing out at the grazing horses, watching “Quiet Man” (filmed just about 10 km away), and, well . . . take a look at the photos that follow and see for yourself. A truly memorable experience for all!
