This was a unique stay but not for anyone expecting a 5-star experience. Unfortunately, the castle is run down and showing signs of neglect. The renovations have been stalled and the musty smell on the first level doesn't make the sitting rooms welcoming. The bedroom is large and reasonably comfortable but the little things don't work properly.
Alan is a caring host who was keen to make our stay enjoyable. His love of the castle was evident in his enthusiasm to share stories about the past.
