Stayed in Castle Ellen House for one night during a week long trip down the west coast for our honeymoon. Our stay happened to fall during storm Lorenzo and despite the rain and howling winds we had a warm and cosy stay at Castle Ellen. All the other reviews are spot on. Michael is a friendly accomodating host and a very interesting man. We will always remember our stay and having a meal and a drink by the fire with Michael was one of the highlights of our trip.
