The Castle is a lovely house in the centre of Albany. It has been recently restored with a beautiful kitchen dining area which receives morning sunshine. There is a lovely comfortable lounge in the front room overlooking the street which is a side street and therefore not very busy.

There are plenty of takeaway restaurants nearby and we enjoyed eating some meals on the lovely crockery provided. My wife had a bad back while we were staying so we drove rather than walk to the better restaurants near the seafront. We also found there was a doctor just a couple of blocks away.

We were able to use the dishwasher and laundry facilities and the shower was very good. Jill provided a good map of Albany so it was easy to find the lookouts and other attractions.
