The castle is lovely and wow, what a gorgeous setting! The castle is a wonderful and special place to stay. The grounds, the gardens, water and swans, the history of the castle, and the hostess Karen, made it a great experience. Karen went out of her way to help us as my friend became very ill on our trip and she helped us find medical care. In addition, when we were tired she helped us find a food-truck place that made yummy pizza (when you are traveling sometimes you are just too beat to go out to dinner). Karen's dogs were also fun and friendly. I would highly recommend a stay here.
