John and his mum Helen are lovely hosts! They were in correspondent from the beginning all the way until the end. We were greeted and given a tour of the castle upon our arrival, which was mind blowing. The history and time alone put into this castle to make it livable is unbelievable. The lovely touches with the scones and jam were a nice treat after traveling for such a long ways. I very much enjoyed the room on the lower level as it had nice feng shui. We felt like we were living on set of Game of Throne ;)
