This is an authentic Castle Tower. It is damp and chilly as John clearly stated and we fully expected. We, however, should have expected deep stair steps and lots of them (being a castle tower) but we failed to think that one through. We had several older people in our group with knee issues. The top bedroom does not have a bathroom and you must climb down a flight to get to the toilet. That was a little challenging at night to the people with knee issues. This castle was wildly awesome! It was such a pleasure to experience. John and his mother Helen were so very accommodating to a group of 6 jet lagged people. The grounds were breathtaking! I would suggest this place 100 times over!
