We had a mixed experience at the castle. It's very unique, but also in a poor state, with no hot water in our bathroom, light bulbs burnt out, no wireless signal on our wing, and a general creepy vibe. Alan was very nice, but we didn't feel like he was doing enough to keep the place maintained, and the room didn't seem like it had really been made ready as an accommodation. The grounds are huge, and it's worth a look around. But if you're coming expecting a romantic getaway in a castle, put your expectations in check. This is a musty old castle with some problems, where you'll get the basics - some heat, wifi in part of the building, a kitchen, a bed, and access to a room in the house with hot water. Don't expect luxury.
