Had a great stay at the castle! Don't be intimidated when you drive in, it's a really cool, unique place! Alan was very friendly and told us all about the history of the castle. Although still a work in progress overall, the castle restoration that he's done gives it an eclectic, bohemian meets medieval or hostel meets castle feel. The room was spacious and beds were great. Beautiful setting. Warm water for showers. Well worth the price. Thanks Alan!
