    Jesus folks, I'm shocked that it's turned into his old house has turned into a B&B!!! I heard rumours that a guy from Sky bought the house. Looks like someone else bough it so. I'm speechless here lol https://www.bedandbreakfast.eu/bed-and-breakfast/sligo/castledale/2266713/

    Rupert Murdoch? I thought the brother bought it.

    Good luck to who ever did.

    It looks like space for the sake of space, not for any architectural value. I wouldn't be spending my cash staying in it.

    Seems like an obvious use for a giant pretentious house in a place like Sligo, which is never going to be bought as a family home for a local is it? It's vaguely interesting to hear (and to lol at him ever building that house) but hardly shock-worthy.

    Seems strange to advertise the proximity of these places to the B&B:

    "Fr. Peyton Memorial Centre is 45 km from Castledale, while Presbyterian Church is 47 km from the property."

    I suppose if the tourists want to see what our churches are like, it would be an advantage!

    Yeah I suppose if they want a trip to a few churches around the area, they can plan like going to Carraroe first, then the Presbyterian church and so forth.

    A massive house and they have V shaped ceilings in the bedrooms.
    Zero interest in staying it anyway but I've even less interest in paying top dollar to bang my head off the roof in the morning!

    I suspect the "v shaped ceilings" are only on the third floor where they have made full use of all available space under what is a pretty complex roof. If the ceiling was level there would not be room to stand and therefore an enormous wasted area. Admittedly it's not a great picture and assuming that is not the only room being used for b&b, a better room would appeal more to perspective stayers.

    I've never been in it but to me it looks like a spectacular house, begrudges are begrudges no matter where they are and who they are talking about.

    I had heard that there was a lot of wasted space in the house and seems the rumours were true!

    Wouldn't consider staying in it either, it's rather too big to be a b&b in my opinion . It would be better off just to be someones privately owned home or a summer house..
