I am conflicted in writing this because while the description does explain that the place is under repair, the photos show a relatively well kept and cheerful place and this was not my experience. I would say that the August reviewer’s experience was more accurate to mine. Many other positive reviews seem to be predicated on meeting Alan and how great he was to talk with and it seems to me that if I had met him, perhaps it would have colored my experience more positively. As it was, we arrived at twilight, traveled down a rough unpaved road to an over-grown and empty castle. The house was dark and empty when we arrived, but we did meet a very nice cat. The room was sufficiently clean, I’m not actually sure if the hand towel in the bathroom was, but despite knowing two people were coming we were only provided one bath towel. There would have been no opportunity to ask for a second one as we had no one to ask. On the positive side we did get to pet two nice horses and a very friendly cat.
