Karen's place was a great experience. She met us at checkin and set up dinner reservations for us upon arrival. The grounds were beautiful, she leaves you carrots to feed the horses and has friendly dogs about the property. The castle has many rooms for lounging. Keep in mind the property is old so the water pressure isn't the best and some flooring is unsteady. However the charm makes up for that. We were able to buy some homemade jam and ate that for breakfast with some toast Karen left for us. Overall we had a wonderful time, however I would keep on mind that I wouldn't categorize it as having the entire home. Her uncle lives on the 2nd floor and you will be staying on the 3rd and Karen is on the 1st floor and shares a kitchen. She was very helpful and around if you need her but we found ourselves whispering at night.
