One of a kind experience. Had no expectations when booking a castle in a country I've never been in, but this exceeded any expectation I had. Driving there in the dark was a little sketchy, but once we got there Alan welcomed us warmly and gave us a tour around, showed us his beautiful artwork, AND treated us with homemade apple pie. He was very accommodating and made sure we were warm. The castle itself is beautiful and Alan did a really good job of renovating it while also preserving the history and authenticity of it. The view from the room was unreal, I wish we could have stayed longer. Alan is a very kind soul and I would highly recommend this place if you want a unique stay and good company.
