We booked to stay with Karen for a night based on the many, many 5 star reviews. It certainly lived up to the hype! The castle is in a great area and the property is absolutely gorgeous. There are good options very close for retaurants, pubs and a grocery store. Karen was a lovely host - very gracious and laid back. We were encouraged to treat the space as if it were our own. Worth noting that the second floor is a private residence so you have the first and third floors as the rental, but we barely crossed paths with the resident and certainly felt like we had the place to ourselves. There are a lot of very interesting antiques and heirlooms decorating the castle. It's worth a walk around to investigate and admire them!
